languishing.

Here are a couple projects that have been sitting around our house, er, garage for way too long. The cups have been moved to and fro for close to 5 years. Sad, so sad.

I rinsed them off yesterday and will glaze them before winter break is over. Someone out there hold me to this. The kiddos will paint 2 of them and I'll do the rest.

The painting has been propped up by our water heater in the garage for a couple of years. The boy's wooden racer and the girl's piggy car are the main characters. A wooden train car and some foam bowling pins lend a supporting hand.

I added the pukey green yesterday. I don't know what to think about this one right now. I like the drawings a lot. Don't know about the color application. It's done on a hollow core door. This one is the biggest transportable image I have attempted in quite some time.

We're toying with the idea of sealing the heck out of the door and hanging it in the backyard...

mural at the 4-spot.

i just completed a mural in el cajon. at a couple of friends' house. it's my biggest one to date, 60 feet long. drawing took a couple of days and the actual painting of the thing was wrapped up in a week.

it got quite hot during the week. thank goodness i was painting right next to the pool.

a lot of the head and the heart, as well as the tallest man on the earth were pumping through my headphones.

if anyone out there needs a supercool mural painted get in touch with this guy.

ummm, that would be me.
