AXE Detailer TV spot concept art

March 29th, 2010

Hi there -

Here are a few illustrations I found recently that I did for Motion Theory, for the AXE Detailer Shower Tool commercial. The video is linked below. Click on the images to enlarge. This was a pretty fun job, in a sexist pig sort of way. Which seems to be the AXE style…

Electric cars are the future! We need to have a 21st century WPA project that retrofits the nation’s highway system with some kind of capacitive inductance dealio so that cars draw current from embedded elements in roadway surfaces. Reduce the need for a mass of heavy batteries in the car, and charge (ar ar) drivers by the amount of current they draw.

Anyway, just an old doodle I polished up and decided to post. It’s been forever since I had a minute to do non-client work. I really miss it.
