Design, Photo Compositing and Printing by Walton Mendelson for:

Bill Wennerholm—Shoot for the Stars—2009

 

Original art, design, and finished art, 23 hours.

 

A therapist by trade, Bill is devoted to helping kids. What better way to reach them than through his love of skate boarding? At sixty-five, Bill drives with no less than nine boards in his car, ever ready!

The space scene, Shoot for the Stars, was entirely designed and created in Photoshop. The scenic, Ride Forever, was trickier because it had to work with Bill riding the skateboard on the Corvette. I felt that the only way to get what we wanted was to create enough comps to explore all sorts of variations.
