"Rock and Roll" Painting (inspired by "Back to the Future" and the Maxell "Blown Away" ad campaign)
This is my mashup of the film "Back to the Future" and the classic 80s ad campaign for Maxell audio cassette tapes called "Blown Away". This came about as I was revisiting the first film in the series. The whole opening wherein Marty jacks into Doc's suped up amp and blows himself across the room is an iconic moment from a film filled with iconic moments. It was tickling something in the back of my head. I finally realized that it was reminding me of the old Maxell ads that were everywhere back when BTTF came out. Once I made the connection, the whole thing practically painted itself. The painting has elements from both BTTF 1 and 2. Marty's whole look from the glasses to the guitar pick is drawn from the first film. I chose to put Doc into his get up from the second film as I thought it was more "Rock and Roll" than his Tyvek jumpsuit.
