Illustration Friday: soaked

I posted this image here and I talked about how I came up with this idea. But did you know that it was not just a painting it was also a T-shirt ;)

My submission for Illustration Friday's "soaked" theme is " Singin in the Rain" created in 1995.

I forgot about this holiday card that I made for the Developer Division at Microsoft. It just occured to me that this card showcases a lot of the geeks that work there. They sent me a picture and I put each one in a silly outfit. I sent them the original and they printed there own cards.

Normally I would not re-use an image on IF. However, I never dreamed that this word would come up and that is why I posted this image for the word "Gravity". This painting was used as the official Geekfest Website for Microsoft. They also made T-shirts.

Illustration Friday: Gravity

My submission for Illustration Friday's "Gravity" is from a painting I made for Geekfest.com for Microsoftee's (people that work at Microsoft) and they used the art for a T-shirt. I loved creating this image because it was so different for me and my favourite jobs are when I get to come up with an idea that works on a few levels. Microsoft has a mascot called the "Screaming Geek". They wanted a piece of art that used the geek for an upcoming event and I was given a picture of the character . So I decided to turn him into Gene Kelly, use the idea of "Singing in the Rain" (It always rains in Seattle/Washington and Microsoft is based in Redmond, WA) and turn it into "Screamin in the Rain". Gene Kelly is the guy known to defy gravity and I was able to sneak a building/brick wall in the scene too!
