Artist's Comments

My loving tribute to the comedy trio of the old 'Road to' movies, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorthy Lamour. This piece isn't based off any one film in particular, just the three of them. If you've never seen any of the Road to films, I highly reccomend them. Road to Singapore was the first, but Road to Morraco is my personal favorite.

The films all have a very campy-fun style (a forerunner to the more recent Mel Brooks comedies, really) and I wanted to keep that feel to this piece which is why I used that retro/Shag style again. I think it carries the energy and light hearted feel I wanted.

Medium: Original sketches taken into Photoshop 6.0 and colored over there. No, I did not vector it. I did not figure out how to vector until the very end of the piece and am now kicking myself because that would have made it about a hundred times easier. Next time I do something in this style, I'll try the vectors.

WOW!! I love this. And I just happen to own a few of the Road movies..my favorite being the 'Road to Bali' fer some reason. This retro style you did for Bing Crosby and Bob Hope is well done. And I think it pays a nice tribute to Bob's passing. Excellent work. ^.^

Yay! Someone else who even knows what the Road to movies are. You so just made my night ;) Road to Bali is another great one. I love the gag with the Oscar ;)

Thank you very much. I'm having a lot of fun playing around with this style.
