Kingston Technologies ad
watercolor and airbrush
20"x 30"

"Part of a series of illustrations for Kensington Technologies (which had changed its name to Kingston by the time this ad was produced). The client wanted an edgy, high-tech look, which at the time meant surrealistic. The success of their first ad in this series (see the 'Kensington ad') prompted this spin-off, and a series of increasingly sillier concepts which don't fit the science fiction category at all.
"The product was a removable drive that could be stored remotely or ported to other computer systems. Like the Kingston ad, this was drawn to the client's specifications. It's even less science fictiony than the 'improve your memory' ad, but it still has a futuristic appeal.
