Trapdoor Studio – Jon Arvizu

Carved this 3.5 foot tiki a while back, but just got around to installing it.

Some background illustrations for a recent project.

Just when you thought that making an annual contribution towards your retirement while lowering your overall taxable income for the year couldn’t get any more exciting? Enter… the IRA SUPERHERO! (Admittedly not the most creative name but it’s certainly straightforward). When i heard the words ‘retirement planning’ and ‘comic superhero’ i knew fate had made me a part of this project.

seriously though, I’ve always dug straight black and white line-art. It was fun to work on. my favorite parts are the 1)background textures (ad great depth to simple black line work), and 2) the old ladies squiggly hair.
