Madison...through our weird college-tinted glasses

I finally got started on a piece intended for a friend that just moved away and I think it's turning out nicely. I'm getting a fairly strong Keith Haring feel from the piece, which isn't that surprising, but it has surprised me how much more lighthearted this piece feels from the piece from open canvas (http://marionart23.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-and-sold.html). Both were executed with the same media and technique, but the simple fact that one was largely symbol, while this more playfully illustrative, I think, has given this a far more easily accessible concept.

I'm not saying that's better than the piece from Saturday, it's just a different piece with different intentions. Take a look at the piece following a couple hours work...
