Thanks Ken, the difference is mood was to further seperate the new piece.

I've been up to something REALLY different lately.

DaddyKatz, the amazing local Tiki/Hot Rod/Retro shop needs a paint job, sign, and a design around its giant Tiki.

Owner Bill Winger asked for help deciding on which way to go.

I can't afford Photoshop, & don't like using pirated software, so I'm stuck with a photo editing program from the '90's. I used what I have to do some quick, broad color changes to help Bill decide what color to use:

This is the current color of the building. When this was taken the Tiki hadn't been put up yet.

I thought maybe a more 1950's car blue might be okay.

The next few were just wild swings at wilder colors:

Bill wanted a black background for the Tiki that I could design a background for.

The front of the building being in shade made judging colors like the white one above hard to do, so I took a new pic:

Yellow seemed to be the preferred color and I was given a particular one to use. I also started to do a more refined job.

We may be making a sign for the building ourselves. This used an existing font just to see what lettering looked like on this part of the building.

This has been an especially interesting project. After some roof repair is finished, we're gonna start really attacking the building color....
