So its a nice sunny day for a change. Had one on friday and my buddy was in from Ohio and we started a piece. We ended up not finishing and now he went back to Ohio leaving unfinished work uggh.  So i go out today to finish it and didn't like my part so much so i buffed it and started over... Nothin but time, and again...nice weather.  All well and good. So i put up the first outline, pretty nice, oldstyle stuff. I proceed to do the fill and enough of a background that i can outline the letters.  Well, that's where the good stuff ends.... For one, it was 2 words..one 6 letters and the other 7 so I had to do them pretty small...maybe 4 feet and i HATE small letters.  I outlined the piece and that went pretty well. Cut all the angles so they were nice and sharp....still winning...I grab a white to do the highlights and this full can of white sputtered all over the fucking piece. So, after all that work, I ended up covering it with a banner saying pretty much seeya nexttime lol.

Lesson,

FUCK SMALL LETTERS they never come out right anyway
Always make sure your painting partner is gonna be around to finish the piece
again, GO BIG...
an outline can sometimes be handy
and finally....DON'T USE VALSPAR PAINT FOR ANY DETAIL WORK....PERIOD

pics coming soon.

update: My painting buddy got the stupid flu and is still in town for a couple days.  Unfortunately, he will be predisposed and heading back to ohio anyway back to the old drawing board.

Where in Ohio is he from?
That's where I'm froommm.

[gone84]

He's from Columbus. I'm headed for Dayton in a couple weeks to go paint. If the guy gets back to me anyway. I'm not always so easy to reach

[Atmos]

I've only been to Columbus once, for a concert I believe.
I'm over in Toledo.
And yeah, it seems like you'd be a sort of guy who'd be complicated to reach.

sometimes. I juggle projects like a clown at the circus.
