An all-over repeating pattern for the Cons line (the skate one) at Converse. Cons was reinventing itself with an apparel line to match the sneakers. One of their first seasons was influenced by the location where Converse first started (Boston and Massachusetts). It had a bit of a nautical theme—which you might think, at first, an odd thing to go with a clean skate line, but it actually worked rather well.

I worked with Miki (my wife) on this one. She had a pretty definite idea for a classic looking illustration of a lobster (a symbol/mascot for the season) and an old submarine in an alternating pattern.
