Steven Salerno was commissioned to create images for the Options Clearing Corporation, which is the world's largest equity derivatives clearing organization. Steven came up with the idea of using a monolithic financial-esque building as the visual handle throughout all the images, teamed with a recurring male character who adds the action and human value.


The final artwork was created with gouache, watercolor, and pastels on Arches 260 lb hot press watercolor paper, rather than digitally, because the client also wanted to purchase the originals to display in their Chicago offices.
