Looking back at the rules & guidelines of the Chicago Public Library poster contest—I noticed the request for the submitted images to work on both the poster format and on a t-shirt. I went back and decided to set aside the colorful technique I started with and create more of a silk-screen friendly image that hip people like myself would be willing to wear.
Not as a night shirt.
Outside.
Without a coat on.
The revised illustration contains new subject matter and pleasantly leans toward the rebel-esque Not What You Think advertising campaign the contest is linked to. The other day, I was talking with a friend about art and artists; not everything an artist creates is "good". Often, some pieces are only so-so or simply an experiment with technique (that was my slick non-apology but admittance that my first poster is weak and was a playful excercise for me). :)
I came up with the Get Ugly with Brilliance tag line—love it!
