The emergency call came into me, one of my customers was in trouble. Their Bowhunting group was going to a state cook-off and they had no uniform (t-shirt). The other problem they needed the finished pieces in a week, from conception to completion in 5 working days - No Problem. The next load he dropped on me was the content of the uniform - a beer drinking, bow and arrow shooting crawfish. And to top it all off he wanted to use 6 to 7 colors. Not only did we give him the beer drinking, bow and arrow shooting crawfish, but we made him a chef as well. This is what I was telling you in the past couple of days about being a commercial artist - you have to live within another persons boundaries and create their vision, not yours. Sometimes it's virtually impossible, but if you are good at listening and understanding you can usually make it work. The customer has an image of what they want it is up to both of you to bring that image to life. Enjoy!
