I have been working on a mural project at Gameworks down at newport on the levee and I have come to the sad relization that latex paints fucking suck. Some of the older cans that I was able to find have been okay but only the lighter colors keep an even consistency. Black was a real bitch until I figured out how to pull the settled pigment to the top of the mix. Even then the latex clogs your brush so quickly that fine lines are almost out of the question. Good ole sharpie started to come through for me, but of course sharpie isn't exactly archival on top of indoor latex paint so it could end up looking like shit in a couple years. Of course i won't be around when that happens and its just a hack job. Not really any kind of individual artistic merit to the project.
Anyways, atleast its a paying job to make artwork, even if its just a big company logo.

You have Van Gogh amongst your fave artists yet you're stuck copying photos... Maybe you should buy yourself a camera instead.
By the way, I LOVE your work.
