Part of what I hope to accomplish with the blog is letting everybody in on the process of the art, as much as the finished product.
Yesterday Tanya came by the office inquiring about "THE LAUNCH" for one of the stores, and asked if we could add more charecters to it. "Of course" sez I. My mindset this morning was helping tell the story of "THE LAUNCH" by capturing a single moment and letting it convey the totality of what has just occured. Mel and Dude will be on a small hill looking up at the ascending mushroom structure. He's got a happy look on his face because he and dude did something to help facilitate this joyful ascension. Dude is packing some kind of crystals away in his bag, and mel is tapping his shoulder to check out the blastoff. He's basically saying "Don't get so caught up in the mundane that you miss the spectacular!!" These guys will be VERY small in the painting, but big in getting the story across. Mel and Dude are explorers of their psychedelic world, where the inccredible happens every day. They just want to be a witness to these amazing things.
I think we all do.
