Cool Poster: We’re on a Mission from God

 by Rob Loukotka

It’s a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Clipped from Rob's site Fringe Focus: I made this print as a part of Gallery1988‘s surprise SNL themed gallery show in Los Angeles, titled “Is This Thing On #2 Too | A tribute to SNL”. The gallery show is open March 29th – April 29th, so if you’re in Los Angeles, go check it out. But you can buy my Blues Brothers print online.
 
Rather than strict black and white, this print uses dark brown ink on warm ‘Sand’ Speckletone French Paper along with the red and blue ink. I thought there would be no better way to light Jake and Elwood’s faces than with police lights in the background, so I basically split the whole piece using red on the left, and blue on the right. It looks REAL GOOD up close in person.
