Intel Artist Series - The Way, Way Back Machine

The Way Way Back Machine - A Desktop Mat for the Intel Artist Series
I have created a huge desk mat for Intel and their Artist Series, heavily inspired by my passions in both gaming and tech, it leans into the early period of consumer laptops and takes the viewer back to a time when compters were first becoming a normal device to have in the home and how that brought about a massive change in the way that we play and view games.

Take a look...
Below is the full size desk mat measuring 90cm in length and 40cm in height, it covers some of the big hits of 90s PC gaming and edutainment and reflects just how much our devices have changed, all of the external devices like floppy drives, modems and mice are either no longer needed or have been built into our modern devices, we've come a long way!  The aesthetic of these older devices and peripherals are still really beautiful and to be admired for the technological age they have ushered us into.
BELOW: Rough initial sketch, then early inking process, follwed by near final inks.

Thank you so much for checking this project out, if you like the desk mat you can order yours from Intel directly by following this link.
