Multifunctional Super Suit


These are some early sketches for a little side project I'm developing together with NYC based designer Tina Roth Eisenberg. It has to do with a duck and its super suit. In the final stages of the design, I focused more on the creative features of the suit than on the weird ones shown here. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to share those early steps of the process before they disappear in my archive...

Inspiration: SwissMiss

This is one of my favorite places I go on the internet nearly every day, Tina Roth Eisenberg's swissmiss design blog. Today, one of my space-suit-loving StarDucks characters visited Tina in here office in NYC to say hello and to show her his newly bought swiss-suit:



Update: I forgot to mention, that he's a wrestling suit lover, too. They call him 'The Red 4-Legged Iron Feather'.



Btw, not long ago, something that really helped me out creating the background for the "Goldberg piece" were the colours of that very photo:
