Foggy Mountain Ad Breakdowns

The_wanderer_above_the_sea_of_fogIf you’re like us, you didn’t know nothing about nothing until you discovered Wikipedia on the Internets.

Actually The Raid started out as a homage to Once Upon A Time In The West, with more SWAT members in the front and the bad guys in the distance under the building. It got too crowded and we ended up with a much simpler image.

@Skinny Gene's
It was this one actually that I started out with.
