Artistic Interpretation: The Elephant Car Wash Sign, Seattle

in OCD4 years ago

The big pink and neon "Elephant Car Wash" sign in Seattle has long been one of my favorite icons in the city of Seattle.

It's located at the intersection of 7th and Denny (approximately) and is a bit of a landmark. The above is a bit of an artistic interpretation of the sign... done up more as a painting.

Here's what it actually looks like:

I was originally going to just do a black-and-white, but pink is one of those colors that's hard to get much contrast out of. This was the best attempt... but the shadows seem too dark for my liking.

Thanks for looking!
