So Sacramento\u2019s kinda full of Kansas City emigres. <\/p>\n

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

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

Part of a campaign headed up by Sacramento Kings creative director Heather Vaughan \u2013 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.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
