The Chosen Sketch

This is the sketch chosen for the illustration to be done in collage style. The art director ruled out the vintage figures in front, and my instructions are to replace them with more modern figures. I totally agree, it is the reason I wasn't totally happy with this sketch - it looked like a bread line in the Depression instead of lobbyists! The art director laughed when I said that, and remarked that perhaps, in today's economy, this was the more appropriate choice....The pink Caddys flying around the Capitol refer to the article's mention of the Mary Kay company habit of rewarding the hardworking staff with pink Cadillacs as work incentives in the 1960's.


Here is the first photo that I'm working with, unchanged.


Here he is after some Photoshopping.
