so im finally home... and i realised that i need a steed with which to commute to and from work with, so i got together this here franken bike complete with basket.... i have been dreaming of this thing for a long time a flat bar single speed front and rear brake freewheelin basketed beast of burden.... and today i made it happen with used cables and housing and od parts i had sitting around. the best part was that the basket wouldnt fit so i went over to maintanence and used thier angle grinder to shave some metal and make everything more agreeable betwixt bicycle and basket. i also chopped the bars down to the same width as the basket on the back so i know by feel just how wide my bici is when dodging inbetween those infamous new york plated suburbans.... its fun as hell and looks good too... only things i might add would likely be a hanle bar mounted light that i would keep the batter ziptied to a front wheel mounted basket that would be on either side of the wheel panier style in the same fashion as the rear basket.... also a blinker on the back and i may eventually be convinced to rock some fenders for those less than lovlely days that are oh so common here in the 413.... anyways that is all....

went backpacking this weekend, it was fun!
and here come the promos
the first of many promotional materials!
the story of the mural thus far...
this is a picture i took for the proposal actually... it was so bare! lucky i still have this pic!
computer generated image i made of my proposal sketch laid into the space
just finished taping it off and sketching it
sketched and taped
day one- having just dropped 95.37 on paint i wanted to put it on the wall right then and there! started and out and had a horrible first day the blue sky on the far left came out looking like blue and green camo with semen flying everywhere....
this is such a huge moment for me as an artist, i had just painted blue over the blue and green camo with the semen and just tried again in a different way, i stumbled on this new technique that got me the vangogh look i was really digging for, it took alot of hard looking at the wall but it came to me!
the finished product after the day i discovered the new technique
big jump forward, have all of the back ground done and am starting to work on supporting elements each layer is a process i've decided to go background-supporting elments and finish with the portraits i was so sick of painting swirls by the end of the background i was pumped to start working on the other stuff like the camera and the cieling fan that i was close to finishing today!
here i am working on the camera!
had to take pictures of my progress so far in pannels, this is the far right panel
ths is the middle panel
part of the far left panel
heather made me take this picture
i pretty much live in and own this stair well at this point, people are always worried they are going to knock me off the ladder but i haven't fallen yet, i think the worst so far was when i dropped a paint brush with out paint but nothing major yet! thus far my color choices have been good with only a few minor complaints here and there, but aside from that not alot!
more when i have it!
