Studio AmacAnniversary Artwork Proposal
An original artwork concept for NBAA’s 80th anniversary.
A proposed collaboration by Studio Amac to celebrate eight decades of NBAA through original hand-drawn aviation artwork and a selection of commemorative products. The Las Vegas composition below is an initial concept for NBAA-BACE 2027; the broader anniversary direction would be shaped with NBAA.
2027 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition • October 19–21, 2027 • Las Vegas, Nevada
01 / The proposed artwork
This sketch shows the proposed composition. The final artwork will be drawn by hand, writing NBAA80 over and over again to create the image.
The handwritten technique
This is a close-up of the handwritten NBAA80 lettering, showing how the repeated letters will build the finished drawing.
Final color treatment, Las Vegas atmosphere and any approved event identification would be developed with NBAA.
02 / See the finished technique
The completed Old Crow P-51 demonstrates how the handwritten approach looks in a finished aircraft artwork. Watch the artwork zoom from the full composition to the letters creating its details.
03 / Commemorative products
The original drawing could be reproduced in several formats for NBAA's anniversary—from fine art prints and event posters to keepsakes for attendees. These are preliminary product ideas to explore together.
Recognition / Event display
Framed and unframed prints, as well as commemorative event posters, could be created from the original artwork. Posters can include approved NBAA-BACE event branding; signed or numbered prints are also possible.
5 × 7 in / Front and back
An attendee keepsake with the original artwork on the front and space on the reverse for an anniversary message, approved event details or other custom information.
Collectibles / Keepsakes
An accessible collectible featuring the original artwork. Die-cut magnets and other gift formats could also be produced from the same drawing.
Product visuals are preliminary concepts. Final artwork, branding, quantities and production would be developed with NBAA.
A scheduled signing at NBAA-BACE could give attendees the chance to meet the pilot behind the artwork and receive signed commemorative prints, subject to NBAA's event program.
04 / Selected work & recognition
From landmark anniversaries and a history-making sports record to established aviation retail and independent editorial recognition, these projects show how original artwork can carry a story beyond the page.
Additional specialty retail placements have included Smithsonian museum stores and Café du Monde.
05 / The artist
Studio Amac is the independent art studio of a professional jet pilot and artist. Flying the Embraer Phenom 300 brings a firsthand connection to business aviation and the people within it. Projects and retail placements have included Stephen Curry's 2974 artwork and an ongoing relationship supplying aviation artwork products to United Airlines' Training Center Mainliner Store.
This concept brings an aviation insider's perspective to a milestone for the business aviation community.
