The first in a series of four “Heroes of Yacht Rock” trading card designs commissioned by a friend of mine out in Oakland. I took the job in the dual interests of helping him enhance a Yacht Rock-themed party at a tiki bar (we spent some happy hours together in a San Francisco tiki bar in 1999) and of getting more concrete drawing tasks done this summer. The subjects of the cards were suggested by my friend, as my knowledge of “Yacht Rock” is pretty scant (thankfully, I might add).
