PowerChild - Mike Powers PowerChild Creative Minneapolis	Creative Artist living in Minneapolis... I work full time as a screenprint artist, and the rest of the time I work on my own art and do freelance through my PowerChild monicker.

Woodie on Safari

Description
A labor of love... I've been working on this for a while now, off and on. It's a tribute to the art of Big Daddy Roth, from back in his Surfink days. My dad had an old album from 1964 with various images of this nature, and this is my take on it.
A few gradients, a lot of blends, a LOT of custom brushes, and OMFG so many frickin' masks you'd think it was Halloween...

I agree with Scott- wonderful work. 15 July 2007 - 12:21: Mike Powers (PowerChild) replied... Thanks Todd- I had a blast with this one. I have a whole series planned, with the goal being to increase the speed of production while retaining a consistent style throughout.
