I got a camera finally!

The full gamut of pics are on facebook for those who know me there, but here are a few from the condo painting festivities today! I had to get rid of the CRAZY ass mural. And speaking of ass, there was lots of it on my wall. No more.


just for jersey:





my huge window (8 by 14 heet):

my view from it:




the ghost of the aztec looming over darin and anxy:


and a shot of me in my new glasses, all tired out and haggard from painting all the livelong day.

1. The glasses are CUTE! You look fab!

2. Love the new place! It looks cute, too. You must be so happy with it.

3. That mural... omg. Just... wow! You should re-name your pad the 'condor' after that.


Very happy for you!!

the ghost of the aztec looming over darin and anxy:




what exactly is Anx doing?...he has NO paint drips on his clothes...he looks like he's critically assessing the situation...like a foreman or something. Perhaps he is getting ideas for decorating your condo?...like a mural of David Bowie..?
Darin on the other hand looks exhausted from having done all the work...

Thanks!!


I LOVE it. It's gonna take a LOT of work yet, but it'll all be worth it soon.

I think they had just gotten there. Darin was wearing painting clothes that were pre-spattered. Chris was wearing clean clothes. Although come to think of it, he came out more paint free than anyone else. I still have spatters on my arms and some in my hair.

he's a tricky one that Anxy

Very cool. Be sure to post pics when you've got the place all tricked out.

Good!!
is with good aspect, the house , and you are with happy air
Good luck for the works!
The mural is strong...
The panorama of the window helps to balance
(I believe that you begin to be tired of the works;has patience, it lacks little, maybe... )

I REALLY LOVE THAT MURAL

Very nice pics

What kind of camera did you use?

I really love murals on other people's walls. Not on my own although I have toyed around with having the Sesame Street neighborhood put on the wall of my Elmo room. One of my friends in Portland painted the Smurf village on his newborn's wall and it was great. But chances are the person buying his house wouldn't think so.

I can't wait to see the outcome. What colors are you painting the condo?

I love your view! your place looks very nice!

and that's a whole lotta mural

HOT GLASSES mamacita!!!

and the condo looks great!

Though, I wish I could meet the people who lived tthere previously...That mural is more crazy than I imagined

omg tell me how many coats that needed!!!

glasses = perfect for you

My friends who helped me paint found his facebook page.








I don't want to post it here. I mean, it's blocked but you can see a pic of him. And the background is clearly the red that used to be in the place so I am dead sure it's him. We think he was the model for the aztec warrior (not the one holding the girl, the other one). They decided he was compensating for something.

The one I got on sale at Target.

It's a Fujifilm, I guess. I'm no photographer. I never take pics. I just wanted something easy and affordable.

I love the idea of murals too. This one was just, I mean, I can't even say. If a friend painted something that wasn't quite so overwhelming and more in my general color scheme, I could go with that. I could see commissioning johnart to do something on my wall, actually. If I could afford him anyway.

As for colors, I just don't know yet. I'm having a REALLY hard time with that. I have very specific taste and I'm very picky and nothing I can come up with seems right. I'm planning to do a light bubblegum pink for the bathroom, that's the only thing I have picked out so far. And I definitely need a light color for the bedroom as there are no windows. I've been thinking about lime green and cream and grey and red but I just don't know what to do yet.

Actually, 2 coats of Killz (super primer) covered it. I'm gonna look again today when it's fully dry, but I think that did it.

You should do an episode of Cribs for us once you finish painting and organizing. The org edition of Cribs would be great.

Oh. My. CHRISTMAS!

The fucking MURAL!



I can't believe you painted over it. You totally should have left the naked woman!

Oh, and I love the glasses. They don't make your eyes look weird at all. And the pigtails!

JuliePurplehead said:

YES!

PunkMistress said:

omg, I can see it now: "VIDEOWHORE YOUR CRIB"!

I can imagine waking up to that every morning was just too much. Your place looks nice, like to see it when its finished.

LleeLlee said:

Yeah, at first look, I was all "wha? Why did she paint over it?"

But about three minutes later I was all "yeah, I get it. Maybe something different art could go there"

Looks like a lot of fun and hard work!

that shit is too funnAY!!!

you should have so left that tacky mural!!

all kidding aside, it looks like VERY cool modern space, with some old school style (like the huge window)

did you see alot of other condos before you saw this one?
