'Grease' Audition Poster

WOW this thing took forever!
This is the artwork and poster design for the Walla Walla Community College's Summer Musical, which will be Grease this year. The digital painting took at least 70 hours to complete over 3 weeks and, if you know me, you know how frustrating this thing was. I HATE chrome now. But it turned out fantastic and looks PHENOMENAL in print.

Grease credit goes to Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
Design owned by Walla Walla Community College.

Painted in Photoshop CS3, layout in InDesign.

EDIT: Updated a better looking poster for these posters, if that makes any sense. Now it looks purdyful.

EDIT 2: This was just the audition flyers-- By the end of the run of Grease (which was July 10-26) I had completed over 80 graphics projects for this show, all centered around that car art. So that 70 hours to paint that car? Just a drop in the bucket towards the hundreds of hours put into this musical.
