Florida Panthers NHL Winter Classic Publication
Illustration commissioned by the NHL and Florida Panthers commemorating the 2026 Winter Classic competition. The scene depicts a Florida Panthers player skating through the streets of Little Havana, Miami, where the Winter Classic was held.
The Art Director requested that the illustration shows iconic elements of Little Havana instead of a generalized background of Miami. Such elements include landmarks like Azucar ice cream shop and Ball and Chain restaurant and bar.
Additionally, free-roaming roosters and chickens are often seen throughout the streets of this neighborhood, which was also requested to be highlighted in the illustration.
