MENDOLA ARTISTS, FIND THAT DUCK!

Mendola Artists had the unique opportunity to participate in McKee Foods' pre-launch campaign for Drake’s Cake. McKee recently purchased the brand, and reintroduced it during its 125th anniversary. The campaign centers on a missing Drake’s duck wandering around New York City. Each illustrator had to feature the Drake’s duck in either a current or historic setting.

Take a look at a variety of final illustrations, including a few from Gerald and Cullen Rapp artists--help us find that missing duck!

The original idea was to convert a 48-foot trailer with the Drake illustrations appearing on each side, creating a moving art gallery that would travel around New York City. The art found a home in the Columbus Circle subway station where it was displayed.
