First thing in the morning I was approached via e-mail by an FMBC member to ask if I'd be willing to paint a vintage 1950's bicycle. As I really love just about anything antique and mechanical I figured this would be an excellent opportunity to branch out from painting vw buses. I think he wants me to paint it in solid colors though, gloss black and gloss white. If that's what he wants then I would be happy to do that i suppose. ...but I am going to practice my pin striping first!
Later on in the day I got an e-mail from Steelersbus saying (among other things)that the FMBC moderators want me to do work for them. Then tonight I was contacted by Snoopy (another FMBC moderator) saying "2-3 paintings." ...and yesterday VWgirl (also from FMBC) asked me a similar thing. The funny thing is that no one will tell me what sort of paintings they want or for what. I guess i will find out soon enough. So mysterious!
...and regarding SB's painting I received some new pictures to work off of so I can continue on that. It seems he was not entirely set in stone regarding what image he wanted, so I will take some liberties. Look for work on this one tomorrow!
Finally, there seems to be a little turbulence in terms of my much anticipated California trip. Without going too much into it, I am slated to paint two westy vanagons out in California. One in Southern California, the other in Northern California. It is going to be a pretty fun adventure if I can work everything out, so lets hope that we can find a happy middle ground and I can order my plane tickets! 3 weeks wandering a 600 mile stretch of California all while visiting with some long time friends and leaving my art mark just sounds like a good time to me!
