Did this painting of Reddy Kilowatt for my pops for Father's day. This is an old ad campaign/ logo that was created by the Alabama Power Company to promote the new technology (electricity) in 1926. My dad always liked this little guy so I painted him exactly how he is but a had to add a little creep into him by having him skating along on a lightening bolt skateboard. I painted this with acrylic and sanded the background to give it that old timey feel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddy_Kilowatt
