Our unique Reddy Kilowatt drawings and images were designed& brought to life by myself and others in my family in a span of over 40years. Several of these images are one of a kind and became a popular signatureof our work. Many of these drawings depict Reddy Kilowatt in several variationsand specific poses. Some of these drawings became very popular. We do not holdcopyright protection on “all things Reddy Kilowatt”. However, we do holdcopyright protection on several of our Reddy Kilowatt work.
A select few brought to life an unspoken underlying contentwhereas the viewer would see the work and develop their own idea of what theimages actually communicated. For example, one of our most popular works wasnamed “KNIFE SAFETY”. Originating and born well before the turn of the centuryby artist Timothy Covert, Knife Safety contained a 1950’s freckle faced boypoised with Reddy Kilowatt holding a very intimidating and dangerous lookingdagger. Throughout the entire design process a multitude of various adjustmentsin the content of our Knife Safety artwork brought out exactly what we werelooking to accomplish. Our idea was to get people thinking about that daggerverses Reddy Kilowatt simply holding a standard kitchen knife. Our designefforts were complex and detailed with an objective. Tweaking, (makingadjustments), in the conceptual design of our “KNIFE SAFETY” image affording usexceptional results beyond our expectations. No single change or adjustmentmade Knife Safety the outstanding successful work it became. Variousintentional subtle changes in the content of our Knife Safety artwork broughtout exactly what we were looking to accomplish. Just introducing a dagger inReddy’s hand or considering a small droplet of blood coming from the knife wouldnot, could not and did not bring about the successful results we achieved whenKnife Safety was completed. It was the combination of the innocent little boyappearing nervous, (almost scared), of “BIG” Mr. Reddy Kilowatt teaching thechild to be careful with knives. Reddy Kilowatt’s larger than life physicalsize making Reddy more imposing looming over the child with the dagger in hishand. Alternatively, Reddy Kilowatt displaying his standard friendly innocenceall of his images are known for. All of these factors provoked alternativethoughts from others. Some viewers would look at this rendering and come to theconclusion Reddy is about to do harm to the freckle faced boy. It is thevariables in the artworks content that bring about an express interest in ourwork. Interesting, unique & unusual.
Successful images and drawings don’t just fall of the table.I personally watched Knife Safety evolve on the graphics easel at our shop forover 6 weeks. It became a standing joke teasing our artist about finishing thework before he retired.
Marilyn Monroe’s famous iconic image was a completelyorchestrated venture. While the public was led to believe a photographer justhappened to be there at just the right moment when a huge puff of air from theSubway grate blew Marilyn’s dress up and over her knees. So provocative was thisimage in the days when a woman’s bathing suit was all one piece down over theknees and buttoning up at the neck. The famous photo carried that underlyingsexual connotation of which made it a big deal in September, 1954.
