My submission for Illustration Friday's "Hide-away" is a dimensional clock that I just finished for Jackie and Nat Burgess. Jackie, a concert promoter commisssioned this piece at Xmas but gave me a reprieve on the time frame for after the New Year. Nat was a partner at APA Agency for the Performing Arts, the 4th largest theatrical agency in the world. To escape the Hollywood rat race they decided to cash in their chips and go hide-away in their Montana cabin. Jackie asked me to include their 3 dogs, 3 cats and and one of Nat's beloved guitars. Nat is the leader of the "AirHogs" a legendary phantom rockband in which my John is the lead singer. This was very difficult to construct and was an incredible challenge! The clock can stand on it's own or be hung. The dimensions are : 28" ht. 16" wide 10"deep. A cabin in the woods is the ultimate place to hide.
