I was contacted by the makers of Havana Club rum to do some live painting for an event they were throwing in Sept. Ever since my voyage to Cuba I fully and completely endorse Havana Club rum, I still have an unopened 7 year old bottle in the kitchen. Anyway the first two sketches below were submitted, when I mentioned that the letters could be filled in black they of course had to see that as well. In the end, in true corporate fashion they felt it was not legible enough, so as requested I dumbed it down for them a bit. On a sunny day I would have really enjoyed myself, the Cuban music was good, i had a nice big canvas, Yet unfortunately all it did that day was rain nonstop. Barely a crowd of 30 at the event's peak and as any promoter who was involved would tell you, it was a complete failure and in my opinion a huge waste of money. Except for the money used to pay me. Because I worked so hard all day with no umbrella, in a complete downpour. And I didn't even have one mojito, rum and coke or anything.
Here is the 'more legible' sketch that finally got approved.
This is what the sketch I brought ended up looking like at the end of it all.
It literally never stopped raining the whole time. How aerosol even managed to adhere to a dripping wet canvas is way beyond me.
