Take 2

So recently I was invited to produce an image for a poster art show here in Cleveland.  My mind went right back to my Donkey Kong piece from our Exploitation Film poster challenge.

I enjoyed the old piece but it wasn't the correct size for the show and there was some stuff I needed to fix (cause as you may know, as a creator of a thing you are always going to see the bits that need fixing).  SO pressed for time and the want to set some stuff right I revisited Donkey Kong.

Here's the newest version complete with text!  Hope you enjoy.

(I'll throw up the info for the show when it's available)

Wk 23: Mamma Mia!

While thinking about the exploitation movie poster it would seem that it requires a few things, a bad guy, a lady and a promise of extreme action.  Donkey Kong seemed the all too obvious a choice, right?  We got a ape with destructive intentions a damsel in distress and a working class hero, how this was never a movie in the seventies I'll never know!

This one, like the most of the others, pencil on vellum colored in Photoshop.  To be honest there are a few things I am not entirely done with in this piece but I like it well enough to jump back in at some point in the future to finish it up.  Until then I hope you enjoy.
