Description
Idea inspired by the new iPod nano ad (nanochromatic).

I have to say, I am very proud of the way this came out.

This started out as rainbow-colored hands, but the more I thought about it, making all the hands one color just fit better with the play on words. The ad "nanochromatic" actually makes less sense to me now, as the term "monochromatic" refers to all the colors (tints, tones and shades) of a single hue. And in the ad there are a rainbow of iPod nanos. Meh. I guess it's eye-catching.

So my play on words is "mano-chromatic" - using hands (the Latin word manus) to convey a monochromatic color scheme. "Mano-chromatic" is only 1 letter away from "monochromatic". I used the hyphen in hopes that my text is not mis-intrepreted as a typo.

My intent in this piece was to illustrate that though the human race comes in many different colors, we are all humans, regardless of skin color.

Created in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
