Taking the back roads on a hot summer day, it is still possible to find a gas station that offers Full Service. You pull up to the pumps where you notice a sweaty young attendant trying to keep his cool by eating a popsicle. As you roll down the window, the icy air conditioning gives way to the hot, billowing summer air. You cannot help but let your mind wander as he asks, "Fill it?" with glistening, cherry-flavored lips.
I have spent a lot of time on the road recently, which inspired me to explore and render roadside fantasies like this one. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy creating them.
