My experience in graphic arts started B.C. (Before Computers). I've been an art director and creative specialist for over 25 years. I have worked with Apparel Companies, packaging companies, advertising agencies, marketing groups, websites developers, graphic pre-press production houses and just about everything that requires artwork. I'm still only 43. OK so I had no social life, but I have no credit card debt. Not bad!

So fabulous! How did you get that "washed" look behind the hula girl and the text?
I'll pay you three magic beans for the info!

Rough up an image of stucco or any texture in PS. Raise the contrast and make a greyscale. Place in AI and do a Opacity mask.
Be on the lookout for a video soon and I'll expect those beans soon after.

Hey Todd Very cool. I've always said you can never have too many hula dancers and tikis in an illustration. BTW I can really relate to your profile description, myself being 45 and having experinced the world BC for a few years.

Great work Todd. I like the textures- subtle, but give that old style poster vibe (washed look). We have to talk about the videos as well...
