heres the final:
and the layout:
and here's where it gets a little wild - this next one was meant to be a straight up info piece showing a bear a cottage and an electric fence - heres where we began:
then I thought it would be fun to include a funny one of the bear testing the fence...
then it was suggested that i draw the bear doing a sort of limbo under the fence...ok, that could be funny...
then it was suggested that it would be even funnier if we ditched the cottage in the bg. and focused on the bear, the limbo and toss in a hawaiian shirt and a fun drink, and so...
its true, it is pretty funny. and it looks nice in the layout:
Thanks as always to Steve - he's clearly a very fun AD - who else would go in this direction??!?!

"There's only two kind of guys who wear Hawaiian shirts: gay guys and big, fat party animals. And Bart doesn't look like a big, fat party animal to me..."

Killer stuff Pete! I love how you push your ideas and thumbnails always looking for something smarter and stronger. You make me want to do better work. Continued success to you.
That bear is totally not straight edge....
Great stuff Pete!
thanks for the kind words everyone -
Fish, the edge is strong.
Did that bear go through Rick Sealock's closet? Good taste.
