I was all over the place with ideas, ranging from moody paintings to papercraft monsters. I found it a bit trying to settle on one idea, though eventually, after sleeping on it for some days, I knew exactly what had to be done.
The image "Shades" conjured in my mind was one of those horrible 'Shutter Shades' that were really popular a few years ago.

So what better use for them than an odd juxtaposition between something I loathe, and something I love!
Ah yeah, the good stuff hits at about 1:00 in.
So I wanted to assemble these two things, and hopefully create an image that was both humorous and iconic.
I had stumbled upon a piece of art by a Mr. Milton Glaser, and wanted to take some of his blocky colours and limited palette and spin it into my own style.
I left my heavy lineart behind, once more, for this piece, and I have to admit I'm really feeling it.
Check out my process video below, but to hold you over until then, here's my initial sketch and the final piece!
aaaaand-
And now the video!
Enjoy and thanks for reading!
