Description
-Gotta click to enlarge for the details-
Having purchased the Acme Company in the late 60's, Wile E.Coyote soon turned it into a multi-national conglomerate. Working hands-on well into his eighties, Mr. Coyote, despite his successes, is still plagued by a longtime nemesis.

A tribute to Looney Tunes and specifically Chuck Jones.
Like most of my images, this started out as a straight image, but went wacky rather quick. I made the "ACME" sign to replace Stonemason's "GARAGE" sign, just because the bulding never struck me as a garage. Of course, Acme is a well-used company name, but it only reminds me of the endless devices that the Coyote used to thwart the Road Runner. So I went with that idea.
Added the text in Photoshop. Use Stonemason's Backstreets and Dreamlights Light Dome Pro and Mask Creator (for a slight distance haze).
