My submission for Illustration Friday's "EXTREMES" is from an Artist Trding Card I made for Monday Artday ATC's. Sometimes people will do Anything to get their name out there.

Now that is an extremely tall order. You could pee all over it and never even dilute the coffee. Pax et Amo. Bad Dog
Nice, simple picture. I like the simple palette very much. I agree with you about the extremes of advertising. (Hello: cell phones-and those annoying blinking banners on web pages.)Around here a lot of the water towers around here have the local high school football teams. :)
When Tom wasn't mechanicking, he was driving truck. In fact, we were both "in the truck" when he passed away.
I loved the different truck stops, and kept logs about them...comparing the service, the cleanliness, friendliness, etc.
We spent most of our time on the freeways, and I was misremembering the coffepot as a watertower in Nebraska. I remember now that these "watertowers" are erected at the Sapp Brothers Truck Stops.
I can remember that the folks inside were friendly. I don't have my journal handy. I'll hafta see what I wrote about the experiences.
The neatest watertank I've ever seen is one that's been painted yellow. I think it's in Iowa, on I-80... (again, i'll hafta look at that journal to be sure.) It's a smiley face. Very cute...and it would actually lift my mood any time we drove past it.
Ten million posts as usual on your site, I love this image, the colours are gorgeous, and I have seen this type of thing so often myself and thought the same thing.

Ha. What a good idea.
love this! you should do a series of tall things: lighthouses, windmills, etc.
Great idea! I think your illo is one of the best of this week theme! Truly!
Hi Val, as I'm sitting here drinking a cup of coffee, I'm thinking I need one of those in my back yard.
Love the perspective and colors!
I have been by that water tank! omg.
Oh cute. And gosh, so cretive.
that is really cute. and so true
love the perspective!
But this looks very cute and I would love my logo up there on that unique design. In fact I would love my logo on anything YOU design!
Very nice, Val! So when are we gonna get together? I was just at Starbucks in Malibu...
i am wondering if i can manage to climb up there!
"Anything"??? - well, it is a little bit extreme...
your illo has a peaceful warm mood - i liked it a lot.
Very cool concept! I agree, you shoudl do some more tall ones. :)

Great concept you clever girl! I love the colors too, and I'm in agreement about a series of tall things. Maybe you could do water-tower penthouses!
every week i love to see what you come up with. this week you really came up!
:)
I love it!! That's right up there with Tom Robbins' turkey legs on the winnebago.
Great job!
smart idea! and somehow different from your usual style; great colours also...
very cool as always!
I love the contrast between the tallllll tower and the little house! Very cool! It must look great on the small ATC:>

Wonderful as always!

That's fabulous! Is it from a real tower? This is like a still from 'another world' computer game like Myst. You're so talented. xxx
Absolutely awesome, of course! And you should make sure people know, this exquisite little painting is only 2.5 by 3.5 inches! Woo!
wonder what it would look like with lights...???
now that would extremely upset the neighbours...
but maybe they already are upset...
que bello!! preciosa ilustración.
un beso
