The retro board game Operation was inspiration for this artwork. It was one of my favorites as a kid. Getting buzzed was either frustrating or made you erupt in silly laughter. It’s just one of those kinds of games.

For this artwork, I wanted to retain the essence of the “surgical” game play, but expand the idea of “operation” to the military / coordinated campaign sense.

Is the alien gathering a team or is the operation against the alien?

Operation was used as a visual in Marketing, Projectizing & Operationalizing.
