Using the square/oval selection tool and the airbrushes, I apply the signature flourishes of this style on a new layer. The placement of each shape is very important, they reinforce my flattened perspective goal while adding motion to an action-oriented theme. On this particular piece they’re more subtle than usual, if you’ve seen the St. Louis sports mural on my website you can see that the style can easily become the dominant aspect of the piece and still allow the other elements to work effectively. It all varies depending on the piece and, often, the client. (Fig. 10)
