We were given the go-ahead from the wonderful people at Revive Marketing Group to paint a mural on the windows at Bakery Square. I’ve never done this before, so it was quite an adventure. First I had to go to an art store and be dumb and ask questions like, “What kind of paint do you use to paint on windows?” and “Do you have like a wax-pencily thing, so I can draw level lines that don’t get erased by the paint?” I was really nervous about that (because I hate feeling stupid), but thankfully I went to Artist & Craftsman Supply. The kind gentleman that worked there held my hand (figuratively) and helped me to figure out what I would need. He was really great. You should buy all your art supplies there.
I’m going to let some pictures do the talking for the moment:
So that’s how it began. Thank goodness there was a lovely aluminum ladder just hanging out in the space.
Here, I’m mixing the color for “Friends” or as you’ll see in the next picture, “Frienbs”. Yeah, I messed that up every time I painted a ‘d’.
The full text of the message was “loveoffrienbs.com, Love of Frienbs, 2.14.12, See you on the bance floor.” until I noticed what I was doing and got severely annoyed. I blame it on being in the zone; I’m not going to hate on myself for that. No way. Plus it looked great in the end:
I mean… seriously. Cool. It spans four enormous windows.
Plus the sweet peas at Revive Marketing Group said, “Love what u did!… The 3 of us passed it like 20 mins ago! It’s awesome!!” I am such a sucker for compliments re: work I’ve done!
Come out to Bakery Square, Tuesday 2.14 at 7pm.
See you on the bance floor… Wait, I mean dance floor.
