ASHBURTON ART GALLERY STAIRWELL ENTRANCE
in the weekend ghst, zom and i went up to ashburton to paint the stairwell entrance at the art gallery, coz it was an 'art gallery' it had to be on point, which i was aiming for... these are the walls just before we started painting, prepped, masked, drop sheeted... like woah, here goes.... good times
tenze's little nook and cranny wall
i got the small wall but that's cool coz everyone knows i take forever to paint... not this time, i caned it, heaps of beer drinkin chillin for me during this weekend... as usual i didn't have anything drawn up before i went up there, we had a cool wee drawing session the night before paint day, was gonna do an ashburton thing but had a mare with a few letters - R, H - so i decided to sketch up a stack idea that i had on the way up... tnz, dtc, 2007... loved the drawing and thought it would fit in the space heaps better, love this new style i'm playing with, hope i don't thrash it too hard, need to move on and progress from it at some stage, it'll always be there for me to look back on.... earthy colours, simple background, patterned ornate things with a light grey drop shadow on everything... simple, clean, effective... ended up being 3 completely different styles on the 3 walls... also busted out the 'art gallery' bit in about 15mins, haha, that was cool, semi rushed tho but yet again - effective
ghostie up in this piece
ghost went with the oranges and browns and dribbles and clouds and stuff, came out real cool, used my stencils to death tho (almost ruined them trying to pull them apart when i got home last night noel hahathey were so built up, i reckon the paint on them will never dry it's so thick...) but at least they got some use... character crest was churr, light grape bandit.... nice
