Greetings from Flavio
November 1st, 2006
Just thought I’d say hi to you all!
Flavio is due back from Taiwan in 11 days and man am I psyched to see if I did a good job or not!
This was one of my first designs for my post card. I decided not to use it but ultimately I like it. I was going for a spoof of Bruce Springsteen’s Greetings from Asbury Park album cover but then decided it was too busy and came up with this .

How about “Darkness on the Edge of Town”? Or “Born to Run”? Can’t use “Born in the USA”…

Yeah a Born to Run one would be cool! I painted Born to Run on a kid’s denim jacket in high school once. Got 50 bucks for it! I might just do that for the heck of it! But it’d just be for fun because I think the postcards have gone to the printer already. Also I actually could do Born in the USA as Flavio is technically a US citizen. He was born on a US Air Force base in Aviano, Italy. His dad used to fly jets when he was younger.

This is awesome. But you were right to go in the invention direction. It says a lot about the character.

Thanks Manny, yeah I was happy with this but I think mostly what makes it cool for me is the rich colors and not anything about Flavio. The invention one kept with the theme of Flavio having a lot of ideas which as you mentioned said something about the character. Thanks for commenting though, as I really appreciate the feedback!

Yes I agree with you guys that the one you used says more about the character. So that was probably the way to go. However as a “New Jersey guy” I may be slightly bias to the Bruce cover. Which, by the way, I knew what it was the second I saw it. Great job!
