 Ok, THIS is what I wanted. I just had the whole thing backwards. I needed Silas' graffiti to take a new step, be something expressive and be something that likely wouldn't go over well with the rest of his artistic community. That's this. I took a bunch of screen shots from the "Gotta Dance" section of "Singin' in the Rain" as it's Gene Kelly at his best. At first, I did a paint-over of one of those to see how that would work but then just freehanded the whole thing which actually came out a lot better. I wanted that movement, expressiveness and very quick feeling and this is it. Now I have to come up with a lettering style to go with it which won't be as easy. It's finally some progress forward.
