Here is what I will be calling the finished digital file for the time being. Again, texture and a more painterly look will be achieved upon the printing and rescanning of the piece. And as always, be mindful that scale is always a consideration: this piece will be nearly 2 feet wide upon final printing! Oh, a note on the type. I decided to use Meta Bold Italic as it was sterile enough not to intefere with the illustration but had enough of a playful curve to not look out of place with the more organic aspects of the rest of the composition.

I still think the original idea of a photograph would be stronger, such as a full shot of a tree covered in air fresheners. The illustration makes it too illustrative, if that makes sense. It looses it's strength and irony when it's a constructivist-like drawing. The reason why this idea was so strong was because of the actual contrast of the "real" and the "fake". With an illustration, all of it is fake.
