This image was done for B & S Fab - Buckabilly Sluice Box for use on t-shirts, business cards, and the web.

Now I honestly wasn't sure what a sluice box was when I took this job, but the illustration that Bill & Shelley were looking for was right up my alley. After visiting their site http://www.buckabillysluice.com/ I found out that a sluice box is a tool that prospectors used and not a musical instrument like I was picturing when I first spoke to Shelley...ha.
This was a really fun project and Shelley and Bill were great to work with. It was sketched and built completely in illustrator cs3, based off of the idea sent by Shelley.

 I also wanted to say thanks again to Tina - TnT Graphics and Kelly - Kelly Graphics for passing my name along.
