Exaggerated proportions, graffiti energy, candy-bright colours and cartoon physics. New school peaked in the 90s and is roaring back — it suits characters, animals with personality, and anyone who wants their ink loud. Bold outlines keep it structurally sound for decades.
A eagle carries freedom, vision & focus, patriotism — and New School's cartoon energy give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the chest, upper arm / bicep, back.
