Artist's Description
Colorized photo from 1943, May 14
Original title: Filling up with gas on the day before rationing
Photographer: John Collier Jr.
Location: 1399 Belmont St NW, Washington DC
This picture shows just before they started to implement a gas rationing system that only allowed 4 gallons of gas, or 8 gallons if you were a medical worker or factory worker. As it happens this particular station got in trouble for breaking the rules a year later.
Finding this location was hard, luckily someone found it for me, its currently an apartment building, but the two in back are still there.
I used 1930 colors as the building had a Deco flavor, it could have been painted all one color, but its more fun to have a few colors. I was able to find too much information about the Hood Tire man, but I couldn't find a neon version, just every other version. I used the colors I found and used that for the lights. The sign was designed to animate.
About Mike Savad
My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
