The
1999 NYC Marathon Poster
by
Andrew Yelenak
This year's
poster is composed of five watercolor paintings of the five boroughs
the race runs through. I tried to represent areas of the race that
are meaningful to the runners, landmarks or scenes that make up
the special memories of this marathon.
I drove the race
course in the spring of 1999 and photographed the different sections, then
I used those pictures as reference for the paintings of each borough below.

Posters signed by the artist are available
for $45.00 & $8.50 shipping.
The
panaromic dimensions of each painting created a challenge in composing
the designs, but the long thin images add to the feeling of an epic
event. I'm very proud of this group of paintings and I hope everyone
running this year will find my work to be a fitting representation
of the race. Andy
