The digital art versions of Stacked Pallets were created by uploading a scan of the pencil drawing to an iPad Pro and using it as a template to create the art with Adobe Illustrator for iPad and the Apple Pencil.
At the time I created the pencil drawing, I was working in a job that had a loading dock and I was moving heavy pallets around with a hand pallet jack truck. Once I learned how to control the steering of the jack, leverage did all of the work to move skids that weighed more than ten times as me around the dock and onto waiting trucks.
