Posie's Flower Truck

Posie’s is the happiest, little flower truck you’ve ever seen driving around the Tampa Bay area. When its owner approached me about creating a new rendering of their truck for them, I said “yes” before she even finished asking.

Posie’s wanted to use the illustration for business stationery and various merchandise so a design that could transfer easily to different surfaces was key. We decided on a simple background to really highlight the colorful, fresh, variety of florals the truck always has in store. We also wanted to maintain the integrity of the truck itself by painting as much realistic detail into it as possible while still giving it that happy, whimsical feel.
