me

If I had a nickle for every time someone told me I should quit my job and be a full time artist, I would be wealthy.

I recently painted for the family who's property I live on. It's a way for me to keep my rent supa cheap.They bought this cute shower curtain from Kohls, and it became the theme for their new play room, which I painted.


So first off I had to paint the entire room and ceiling "Waterworld" blue, by Disney Paints. Then I drew on large paper a tree and sunshine. They then took my drawing and had it cut out of wood so I could paint it like the shower curtain. (Their wall is too textured to actually paint the tree on it directly) From there I painted the tree and sunshine, and it was officially completed Wednesday and hung up Thursday. I snapped a couple pics of it once they had it up.


I'm sure I could do this "professionally" but I really like having a steady paycheck.
