This work is dedicated to one of my colleague that is also one of the most famous characters of the city where I live.
The inspiration of this work came out during a coffee break, when I seen him standing like a statue wearing his huge sunglasses.

I tough it was very funny to image him leading troops in battle, so I made him a space marines boss!!! U-BOSS!!

Loads of hour of Photoshop and many suggestions from other artists. I tried to add some more strange color to my style.

Special thanks for the suggestions to Keith Thompson, Euna Lee, Diane Ozdamar, Anne Pagoda and Benita Winckler.]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:24:53 +0000 http://marioveltri.cgsociety.org/gallery/730489
