Steve's Pet Peeve
The colors on this one might just be too wacky. I'm thinking of adding a Sunday newspaper-type texture multiplied over the background. Can you guess what my environmental pet peeve might be? Probably not. This becomes more of a exercise in bright colors rather than concept. This one has been too much of a struggle to nail concept and composition. I remember Beck saying something about ditching a song idea if it doesn't gel within the first half-hour. At first I thought that that was callous and wasteful, but now it seems like a valid system.

volcanos? erosion? beached whales? I vote for beached whales. I think thats a whale. Oily water whales? I like it whatever it is.

Looks like manual labor is your pet peeve. Don't be afraid of a little hard work! Get out there and saw down an old growth forest or two. The colors add to the explosive anger. I like it muchly.

Is it a dentist? No, no ... someone cutting down trees?

Thanks for playing the guessing game, everybody. It was fun to see all the crazy tries. Beached whales is my favorite. It is suposed to be two men (in busines suits) cutting down some trees with a two-man saw. This is by no means a finished illustration. I still don't know how that onw will turn out, but it will by Monday.
