Original Art Drawings Ed Margolis Chicago Bulls 1994
Commercial artist Ed Margolis did this design for the Chicago Bulls 4th championship in 1994. This was the season before Michael Jordan's comeback, so the phrase "I Bullieve" was important in getting fans to keep the faith. This piece comes directly from the portfolio of Ed Margolis himself. It appears to be a photocopy of marker drawings on an 11 x 17 inch sheet of paper, with hand notations in red pen. It is in excellent condition overall.
We're not sure if these logos were ever made into products, but even so, this is a unique creative item from an amazing time in sports history. This item was done by commercial artist Ed Margolis. He worked in suburban Chicago, and for 32 years owned his own design business called Emar Studio. There he did graphic design and artwork for numerous companies, including Hirsch Tools, Sears, and the Burry Biscuit Company, a division of Quaker Oats. He created the packaging and store display for Burry's for their special Batmobile toy promotion, inspired by the Batman television series in 1969. He also designed the logo for the former local suburban public transit organization Nortran. His approach to advertising was to portray the product itself in a realistic fashion. His talent for realism was excellent, yet he also exhibited a comic art style of drawing, along with a great sense of humor. These qualities made him an outstanding graphic artist.
