This was the first initial design a couple commissioned me for to paint on an old tv satellite dish. I started in black and white and illustrated it in photoshop. They asked for a more 1960's look with a vintage Volkswagen van, mushrooms, a peace sign, and the leaf.

This was the second design with just a large back peace sign added to it and the leaf hand taken away.

This is the final design that the couple enjoyed the most. We went with bright colors for the van and background with a beach theme, and a thin outline peace sign over the top. Once this version was approved I was given the green light to paint it onto the satellite dish.
