Home and done for the day... hopefully sleep will follow this post. Worked at Vera today from 6-10 and got a lot done, and am pretty stoked on the outcome... and am also a bit more confident that I'll actually finish this thing on time... tomorrow is still a big get shit done day, but I think it should go smoothly...
Here's some process pics of the mural so far... Pictures aren't much... most of the colors are a mix of an acrylic base with a 5 color blast of aerosol speckles over it...
Blank canvas...
day 1 - 4 hours in
Day 2 - 8 hours in, everything is sketched out, and just needs a bit of love. the Yellow is a bit intense and needs to be toned down a bit in the lower portion, but should work out.
Day 3 will be outlining and detailing the lower character and the yellow tone down.
After the Vera, I drove myself up to the studio to work on the lettering... I cut these letters out of 2 inch insulation styrofoam... then shaved and sanded them to shape, and gave em a coat of spray paint - on purpose as Aerosol will eat away at the styrofoam as it dries - I figured this out on a road trip to Mt Hood with Blue Mont while trying to fix a CAPiTA sign with spray paint. We ended up eating a hole in the middle of the letter... so basically, these ended up having a kind of weird wet water creature tentacle look and texture to them.... Pretty mellow up there tonight, some touch up and details along with bonding them all the tentacles together... Hopefully things dry up nicely so I can hang that first thing on Thursday...
