Vintage Fail

Today was the second attempt of trying to create a Christmas image to display on the outside wall of the Megaplex Theatre. My first images we're too childlike. A few people didn't like the cheerful cartoon images and want something more vintage.

I'm not an amazing artist and I usually just draw cute little characters. Vintage? What's that? Ok, so I have an idea of what vintage is but why would we want to display old vintage images on the outside of the theatre? We're a theatre, not a museum. In my opinion the banners should be more inviting.

So, anyway, I gave it a shot and failed. Now whoever is decorating the inside of the theatre with their "vintage" stuff might have something for the outside as well. We'll see.

The project could've been done and delivered on time for the December 1st deadline but now it's on hold. We'll see what vintage stuff will be displayed or if this project is simply forgotten about.

I won't be surprised if nothing is done.

So... after creating four different images,

I have done one of the freshest wastes ever.

Ok, so I created something that won't be used to decorate the theatre, but I learned a few new things about Illustrator and I've decided I'm going to use my designs for Christmas cards.

Plus, Becky, the kids, and other family and friends like my work and really that means more to me than what some co-worker thinks.
