Artist Sketch – An Immersive Experience

​

The Nike Art Department “Artist Sketch” is beyond a transaction, its an experience, one the lucky recipient will never forget. In addition to accepting the all white “bench”, you will receive a personal meeting with one of Nike’s most talented illustrators, KJ LeBeau. KJ will spend a few hours with the winner in a q&a learning about their lifestyle, obsessions and cultural interests. Together they will craft an illustrated narrative that KJ will then hand draw directly onto the “bench”. KJ and the recipient will agree to timing based on the complexity of the content determined. This unique opportunity provides the most personal and custom offering, creating a conversation piece to last generations.
