I’ve had notions to make murals since we saw Beckie’s friend’s son’s room when we were picking up the trailer to move.   It was gonna be a castle around the big window, but G got all into dinosaurs and dragons.

We were in town, all my other projects were days off between contractors and shipping; i really really want G to sleep in her own damn room.

A ride in, a ride home, and some chatter led to idears. a bottle of wine, a basket of crayons, and i am a french master in the art of shading and scale. this is so much more inspiring than ceiling fans, i’m so stoked for it. hopefully i can muster technique enough to pull it off. There is NO TAPING, and wont be torturous roll-it-out bootcamp. More like a hobby when i get a good buzz on between games or am feeling creative over the next few weeks (months…) .   There will be a lot of layers and a lot of sessions and many cheap brushes.

Alana’s sketch

Guido: What’s that?
Vicky:Some glass, artsy-fartsy thing.
Guido:What have you got left, Joel?
Joel:$40.
Guido:I don’t think I can go $40 on the artsy-fartsy thing.   What do you think, Vic?
Vicky:He’s only got $40.
Joel:I only have $40.
Guido:We go $340? I’ll spot you the $300. You’re good for it, right?
