I draw the grid, and in the 90 degree heat and high humidity, I sweat all over the pavement.

I draw the outline for the logo, taking care to make it as exact as possible.

The finished white outline, I am now ready to start adding the color, and my back all ready hurts.

Everyone has left the convention by this point, all by myself I begin to color the logo.

The finished logo, about 11:30 at night. I order a pizza and have it delivered to the convention center front door, they are sceptical that I will be there. I local policeman vouches for me on my cell phone... no joke!

I draw in fake cracks... the pavement was actually really smooth here. Up close they are ok, but from a few feet back many are fooled.

I begin the words, and the Bioshock people are impressed that I match their font so well. I end here the first night about 1:30 in the morning.

Morning on day two, a huge line waits to get into the convention, right by my piece.

So many logos to add. 2K Games, Games for Windows, Only on Xbox 36 and Windows, Xbox Live and the ESRB rating! Whew.

I start the "Big Daddy" (that's what they are called in the game!) and the pool of water.

The finished "Big Daddy" and pool of water. I like how it turns out, and people are impressed with the shading and detail.

The convention center people are awesome, they bring out a portable life and raise it 20 feet in the air to get this photo... I am so happy I have this record.
