Redesign This piece was done for the R3 Designer Jam, the theme being a challenge to redesign Michael Knight's famous 'black T-top' K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. I'm sure I surprised absolutely no one with my choice here. However, i mildly surprised myself by actually fairly successfully drawing a MINI that LOOKS like a MINI. Cars are not my forte. I know it's black black black (well, not really, but dark dark dark) but that's the look I was after. Squint! See if you can find the hidden TRDL logo. You can see this illustration herein the TRDL Tribute Gallery. _________________

Actually I was expecting the logo in the windows for some odd reason. Or maybe Michael had been shopping in the TRDL store and had bought a license plate holder. Barring that, then in the sweeping lights of the front grill, never did I expect the lamps of the headlights but it's perfect. _________________

Though the first one, the logo hidden in the headlights, that one went right past me, cause I just figgered those were the yellow part of any headlight! TRICKY! _________________ : : : "...drop some of your needs. life is a zero-sum game." george carlin THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE MOTORIZED "it has begun to feel too in my face, like I'm riding a pop-up window."
