This cartoon illustration of the Auction Geek was created for client's website, Auction-Geek.com, to be featured as the banner art & mascot for eBay related services. The geek/nerd part was a no-brainer, but coming up with auction items that reflected an eclectic mix of things one might run across on eBay (and items that would read well as cartoon art) proved a slight bit more challenging, as I wanted to keep a geek feel to everything. I mean, it wasn't like working out the Unified Field Theory or anything, but in cartoon terms just a bit more difficult.

The final selection of items fits the bill perfectly - guitar, lava lamp, robot toy, laptop computer and a bicycle. Items were drawn separately, then scanned in and hand vectored and composed for the final design. The full project included stylized text, the art only is featured here.
