Hi Neighbor!

This was the commercial I took the two characters from. Since there's no real images available to copy, I pretty much sat at my computer pausing the commercial from time to time trying to get the characters right. Kind of like what I used to do with movies as a kid:

One of the 10 finalists!!

I just found out yesterday my design for the Narragansett Father's Day Tie Competition is one of the 10 finalists!!

So even if I don't win first or second prize, I already win a case of Narragansett!! And that's pretty darn good ;-)

But here's my design again. I used the Sold on Merit image they supplied for the competitors and created my own image based on one of the old Narragansett ad's from the late 50's early 60's.

3rd Annual Narragansett Tie Design Contest

Although I didn't win last year, it naturally didn't stop me from entering this year's Narragansett Father's Day Tie Contest.

This year I used one of the images they supplied for anyone entering the contest on their website as well as one of my own images. I decided to recreate a couple of characters that were used in one of Narragansett's vintage commercials back in either the 1950's or early 1960's.

I love the character design from the commericals because they reminded me so much of Rocky and Bullwinkle. One of the greatest television cartoons of all time!

But here is the design:
