Mad Dylan-tropolis-ish

I'm feeling like it's time to get the painting started this weekend. I've been working on a few designs for the 3 wood sides, and I think we're going with this direction. It's an abstract representation of how the box works. The back (center panel) represents the storage of solar energy and has a written story about the project. The sides act as the color that is reflected on the front screen, which might also imply the look of a root system or veins. I want the paint to be more like a wash rather than solid color. I did a quick sample in my sketches, but will really just need to see what the paint can do on the wood. My goal is to aim for a blend between modern-pop and post apocalyptic. Kind of like Milton Glaser's Bob Dylan poster meets the sun bleached world of Mad Max and the futuristic Metropolis. Yikes, well see.
