Out of the Ordinary



Occasionally, all of us are called upon to create a piece that falls outside of our "style" or thematic approach. Sometimes that can be frustrating, other times great fun. In this case it was a pleasure working with The Archer Group in Wilmington, Delaware to create a poster for an IMAX movie called "Wild Ocean". Timing was tight and there were many decision makers, common on high visibility projects like this. The Archer Group was great, working very closely with me to create the image the client wanted. Is it a masterpiece? I doubt it, but it was gratifying to see the image at the prestigious Franklin Institute in Philadelphia where the movie was being shown on the Institute's terrific IMAX theatre. Above are two images: The top image the client-approved version and my preference below. Click on the images for details.

Beautiful poster! To bad sharks are being hunted to extinction with 90Million+ a year being killed for fins and dolphins being killed (in the 10 of thousands) in many parts of the world. Is this oil on canvas? Or made in illustrator or photoshop?
