This image (from Reader’s Digest Books for Children) represents the newer, cleaner energies “knocking on the door” of big oil. To get that grunge look on the door, I pulled out an old baking sheet (yes, we still use it) and scanned the bottom of it. Perfectly icky.

I was asked to put together a KIDSBILL for Music Theatre of Wichita, so I decided to try something new. I saw Bryan Ballinger (breadwig.com) doing some cool stuff with Maya, so I tried to replicate it in Adobe Illustrator, eventually winding up in Photoshop for some of the details. I really liked the “onstage” look of it.
