So I was commissioned to do a piece that had mainly to do with the sea. First thing I think, epic, kick-ass sea battle. Lord of the oceans, Poseidon versus the Kraken with all awesome manner of sea beast in-between them. I started with Poseidon himself and was rather pleased with my initial drawing. So pleased that I sent it to the people I had taken the job from to let them know how things were progressing. Time went by the battle grew fierce, there were giant squids pulling submarines under the waves and narwhals going apeshit on some seahorses. Then I heard back from my contact. Poseidon was too angry looking. The people that would be seeing this thing (at a music festival) would most likely be having a really, really good time, and most definitely be really, really on drugs. So, no mean sea god going to battle... no battle, man! Mello that dude out. Hippies don't want chaos and mythic figures going at it in an appropriate and awesomely rendered venue, they want some crunchy oceanic nugs, like that turtle from Finding Nemo (you know he did bong rips, bra) frolicking around the picture, enjoying some tasty jams. So I tried to mello big P out, not once, but twice. One stoney P and one creepy old LSD P. These are the results, and more than anything I find them rather funny. I hope you do too. None of them ended up being used.
