Still Grinding


Here's a shot of the stump grinding sign still in progress. I am still experimenting on glaze colors to get a rich brown bark, but overall I am happy with how it is turning out. The signboard will probably get a few highlights and the lettering will get a contrasting color.

heatin' up


things are starting to look up for the work schedule. the stump grinder job is in paint, should have pictures up by Tues, today was spent cooking some chili and building a sign for tomorrows chili cook off at church, and I've been working on a three or four color t-shirt design for Strictly Foreign, and I've got a wheel cover to paint for another long time friend.

the cook off sign is pink styro foam for the chili, it was shaped with a pneumatic die grinder, and beaded white foam for the flames. the lettering is hand painted using Sherwin Williams resilience paint, it will be hanging in the shop after the chili cook off as another sample of whats possible for my future clients.

the t-shirt has a little more work to go, change the rims on the bus and add a bug, and determine colors and amount of colors, and then get it printed in time for a car show on the 28th of April.

and addition to all that we went to Medford today and picked up a little chihuahua for my girlfriend
