Burnin' Rubber Gloves


Here's the first in a series of three illustrations I was commissioned to do by my friend Jody. One of her final school projects has her taking the role of an art director who must search out a photographer or illustrator to help produce a magazine ad. The concept is that this cleaning product, Lemi Shine, cleans so well that it has the power to morph even the dirtiest of images. I may have gone a BIT overboard with the zaniness factor, but I think it still fits the concept, haha.

All that being said, I guess that Lemi Shine actuall does fit into the current Illustration Friday theme of "Equipment," since you'd need some heavy-duty equipment to tidy-up this fellow. AMIRITE?

  10. Thanks, everyone! I'll post the other two illustrations after work. Mita, that'll be around 6am your time, haha. UNLESS I'm sneaky and can come home for lunch and do it.

    But I do have to go pick up the new Black Keys album. Yeahhh! So that's my lunch break right there.
