In 1993 Tinker designed a set of 80,000 square feet nylon banners, called "The Transition Game" for the
Alamodome, the second home of the San Antonio Spurs. He sought an atmosphere of "celebration," one that would "capture the essence of basketball," which the artist likened to "a powerful athletic dance." Tinker says the Spurs wanted a "hand-done artwork" rather than a computer-generated piece. The work was created by making tiny collages one-inch-by-six-inches, which were then projected onto large rolls of nylon. The cut-outs were sewn with special machinery by Miller Curtains and fabricated by Team Design Studios. Tinker has had three T-shirt designs produced by Dillard's Department Store, beginning in 1998, with his design being the first-runner up for the annual Fiesta poster. In 2004 Tinker designed "San Antonio Spurs Then and Now", a commemorative poster commissioned by the Spurs to chronicle the history of the team for season ticket holders. Tinker was commissioned by the HEB Grocery company in 2010 to design a reusable shopping bag. This bag, adorned with a wrap-around work called "The San Antonio Montage," features San Antonio's most famous landmarks. It quickly sold out, and Tinker was commissioned to design five additional reusable bags. Tinker has designed various other kitchen items for HEB, including aprons, coffee mugs, drink tumblers, tortilla warmers, hot pads, oven mitts, trays, plates, and cutting boards. All of these objects feature brightly colored cartoonish imagery, including a design that
San Antonio Express-News reporter Michael Quintanilla described as "a red hot chile pepper atop a purple bucking armadillo." == Collections ==
