The nice thing about being a professional photographer is getting to choose your projects.

Art director: You know what this poster needs?

Editor: Uh, some weirdly proportioned, blurry baseball bats in an Escher-like arrangement falling in front of him?

Art director: Exactly! It’s like you read my mind!

Editor: How about I cut in a whole bunch of baseball bats in his left arm that all have different light sources?

Art director: Yes! Oh, and make sure they don’t leave shadows on each other!

Editor: Sweet. Done.

Art director: Oh, and where are my creepy halos?

Editor: Halos?

Art director: You know, those things that I like.

Editor: Oh, you mean those completely unnatural outer glows around pasted objects? Let me put one around this guy’s hand. How’s that?

Art director: Awesome. Man, I love those outer glows.

Editor: It’s still missing something.

Art director: Hm.

Editor: How about we put an upside-down baseball bat under his right arm, but then, but then–get this–we won’t put a bat handle among the bats on his left side!

Art director: You’re a genius! Remind me to give you a raise some time.

Editor: Give me a raise.

Art director: Done! Let’s go charge someone a ridiculous amount of money for this poster!

Editor: Hooray!

Jonathan: Okay, now give me angry.
Snail: …
Jonathan: No anger in you, eh? Okay, give me sexy. You’re a tiger. Rowr.
Snail: …
Jonathan: Um, just give me something to work with. Pouty? Happy?
Snail: …
Jonathan: That’s the last time I’m using this agency.

Taken from my iphone, but neat nonetheless.
