FINALLY!

It took me almost all year, but I finally got to paint a mural// I was starting to get a little worried that my painting career was drying up, but I found the key: DIVERSIFY! "Don't put all your eggs in one basket.."  I believe is how the saying goes. I have been so busy going after the BIG FISH, that I hadn't been pursuing anything else. The moral of this mural story is that you must always be hustling to make things happen- you are either growing or dying.. there is no 3rd direction.

Anyway, this little project I did over the weekend (just 2 days after the NIGHTMARE and all the frantic planning and prep that precedes) was just the shot in the arm that I needed to get my ass in gear. Literally.. My arm was killing me by the time I finished! I did this one for another liquor rep. 9'x6' reproduction of the label for FIREBALL WHISKY. Long drive for this one- it was up at PURDUE in West Lafayette- but only about 6 hours of actual painting time (thanks to my LOVELY assistant- THANKS CAROLE!!).

So if you are ever up at THE NEON CACTUS in West Lafayette, LOOK FOR IT!

The NIGHTMARE was a huge success once again this year.. This event is going to kill us eventually- it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Lots of work and lots of fun, but I'm glad it is only once a year!
Pics coming from the party next time, but I wanted to get this MURAL up first because I am so relieved to finally have one done for the year.

Thanks to REPUBLIC DISTRIBUTING and NEON CACTUS!

Painting is very nice and interesting professional. But we should remember that this is not a child"s play, it need struggle and passion to show to others what is in your mind.
