So Sacramento’s kinda full of Kansas City emigres.

Many graphic design studio owners came from there, having studied under the legendary Rob Roy Kelly at the Kansas City Art Institute. And it may be only a matter of time until DJG ends up in Sac (I’m just guessing).

The Kansas City Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985. And recently, I found out a few of my students have been designing Kings billboards on the side.

Part of a campaign headed up by Sacramento Kings creative director Heather Vaughan – the handmade, graffiti-themed billboards have been appearing all over town. Not prints, but the actual handpainted art. The project has garnered national publicity appearing as a ‘Coast to Coast Best Practice’ in the Sports Business Journal.

Time-lapse video, above. Work (by students) below. More details here.
