Since I’m at the office now, and can’t really do anything about the newly impending move, I thought I’d take some time to clean off my desk. I came across this project I did for my old supervisor, and I thought you all might enjoy it.
The old department manager was extremely proud of his shiny black Cadillac Escalade. He never missed an opportunity to talk about how it had run-flat tires, 22″ wheels, sixteen-speaker stereo, held the Kleenex while he blew his nose, or that he vacuumed its floor in a checkerboard pattern like the outfield sod at Wrigley Field. What? You don’t?
Anyway, every time he had something done to it, whether it was detailed, or received newer wheels, or whatever, he wanted photos taken. Not particularly good with anything electronic, he had whoever was handy come outside and snap some pictures of him and his huge ride. This usually fell to our internal newsletter editor/photographer or myself, since I was the only artist within reach. Either way, a wonderful use of resources, if you ask me.
So when it came time for him to move on and sell his pride and joy, I was called upon to do the farewell photo shoot for the Classified ads. Given that it was hot outside and I actually had things to do on a deadline, I wasn’t thrilled with the latest assignment. I went out side, said some dumb things like “work it, work it” and “make love to the camera” while I stood there and pretty much just pointed and clicked. Back in the office I told him that it would take a few minutes to compile the photos and generate the thumbnails for him. You can’t see it in the thumbnail, but after the jump you’ll see my little parting gift to him.
