The Alien Guitar
This was a piece I created in 2005. At the time I worked for Emerald guitars, when a custom job came in the door. It was a dream brief. Science fiction being the biggest consideration and the rest was all artistic freedom. By the following morning I had a handful of A4 pages, full of sketches. This continued for a few days until I stumbeled into one precious little doodle I was quite proud of.
I stayed quiet and let my boss Alistair flick through the designs and watched as this sketch stopped in his tracks. His next words were "This is it". His excitement was exactly what I was hoping for. Out came the pastels and markers and by the end of the day I had rendered up the design along with two others to pitch to the client. Later the following day we got the green light from an excited client and the build commenced.
