Surf Lifesavers Get Wet ‘n’ Wild
This is a fun job I did a while back – a life-sized illustration through The Drawing Book for Coca-Cola, Lifesavers Australia and Wet ‘n’ Wild theme park in Queensland.
Please scroll down to see photos of the art in the wild…
The final layout, below (please excuse the small size):
The hardest part about this project was the sheer working size. As they wanted a painterly style, I couldn’t do this as vector, so I used Photoshop and worked on the file at 80cm x 80cm at print resolution! That meant that every time I hit save, I had to walk away for a coffee. I drank a lot of coffee that week!

The lifesavers do a great job – if you’re at Wet ‘n’ Wild, get a pic and donate a bottle for a worthy cause.
Cheers,

Wow – that’s fantastic. After crazy mirrors, head-hole pictures are my favourite sideshow attraction. How many woogabytes is 80x80cm at print resolution? also, It seems cruel to try and trick people into sticking their heads into a yellow recycle bin by placing it juxtapositionly next to your sign.
Ha ha!
The file was about 800 shishkebabs, but when you opened it up in PS it became over 2 gigglebubs.i
