I am excited that Monkey & Bird<\/strong><\/em> <\/a>is starting a new chapter,<\/strong> and thanks to Tina’s<\/strong> brilliant work on the colors and creation of the Open Air Cinema<\/strong><\/em> sign, I think we started off this chapter with a bang!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tina and I were kicking around ideas for what Mickey<\/em> and Sylvia<\/em> were going to do on their second date. We’ve already done dinner in the first chapter so how about a show? Tina and I both love drive-in theaters, but animals don’t drive! It didn’t matter. We still wanted to do a drive-in so we came up with the idea of a car-less drive-in. I worked on the drawing and handed Tina this crude sketch of a composite of several drive-in marquees that I love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tina imported the sketch in to Illustrator and went to work tracing and cleaning up the forms within the drawing. Essentially she made sense of my scribbly lines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once that was finished, she applied colors. All the way, she was fashioning a silk purse from the sow’s ear I handed her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> The Queen of Bezier Curves filled in the considerable gaps in my drawing and created this vector version of the marquee. The vector version was exported as a layered Photoshop file, and Tina and I huddled around the monitor trying various layer effects and blending modes until we winded up with what you see beneath.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An Electrified Gold Star for you, Tina!<\/strong> Thanks for making Monkey & Bird<\/strong><\/em> something more than the little strip I was going to cobble together!<\/p>\n
