When I began working on my 2026 Indianapolis 500® artwork, I knew I wanted it to mark something rare. That year brings together two major milestones — the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500® and the United States’ 250th anniversary. Moments like that don’t come around often, and I wanted to create a print that felt intentional and worthy of being collected long after race week ends.
This piece is my way of capturing that intersection — thoughtfully — through a design that reflects both racing heritage and American tradition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway®.
Built Around Two Historic Numbers
From the start, the design centered on honoring the 110th running of the Indy 500® while subtly acknowledging America’s broader anniversary. I leaned on strong geometry, confident typography, and patriotic color accents that nod to the moment without distracting from the race itself.
The result is a composition that feels timeless rather than trendy — something that could hang comfortably alongside vintage racing ephemera or modern décor alike.
Why I Chose a Retro Racing Poster Style
I’m drawn to classic racing poster design — the kind found in historic programs and travel advertisements. For 2026, that visual language felt right. I focused on bold shapes, motion, and typography that reads from across the room, all aimed at making the piece feel permanent on the wall.
