This piece was something I’ve been wanting to try out. The idea is personal. I worked on my Jeep all weekend…it’s something I’ve had for years. I got it at the same time as I got my dog who passed on last spring. Lately I’ve had the most vivid dreams of him. After tearing my knuckles apart under the hood of my beater all weekend, my dreams were filled with nostalgic rides with my boy through the old trails in Southern CA we used to bump around on. He was a great sport!
The other side of this piece was to try to integrate my 3D models with an illustration. I’ve been modeling in 3D apps for over a dozen years now. So I took a piece I did a while ago of one of my Story Tellers and tried to work the two disciplines together. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I think we all understand the crutch and integrity issues involved, but I’d love to hear what you all think about it…
