A Little Help (Kokua Please)

Hazen the Artist
The Awesome Helper

After my first day shift at Motel 6, it was now time to head over to The Lounge 22 and work on the mural.

Sax, Dancers & Chick in Front
More Outlines..
I stopped by at home to pick up my son Hazen and have him try and layout some penciling on the mural.

He did an awesome job! It's hard to see the penciling from the photographs but you can see what he did after I painted over it with black paint.

We wrapped up at about eight o'clock and called it a day. Got home skipped dinner, took a shower and crashed out..

Today we'll probably do the same thing (except skipping dinner). Hopefully we can get all of the outlining done today and start filling in the rest of the mural with color! :-D

Got a Job at Motel 6

Logo UpI got to work on the mural late today because I had a surprise orientation at Motel 6.

Motel 6 hired me on as Maintenance today so I start next week Monday as the new Maintenance guy.

Anyway... Tomorrow I gotta play drums at Church till about noon.. Then I'll get back to work on the Mural again, so I can get as much done as I can before Monday.Sharing a Drink

Almost Pau.. Yeah Right..
Almost Pau.. Yeah Right..
The projected Grand Opening of The Lounge 22 is in May. So I gotta get crackin'..

Today I was able to draw the couple at the bottom of the logo in pencil and paint the logo.

My son Hazen helped me paint the outline of the woman on the right and the sax player on the left. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow!

Working On a Radius Ooh La La!

Mural Wall
Mural Wall
The Mural wall is on a Radius which makes it a little difficult to transfer an image into it.

What makes it more difficult is that there is a column in front of it, so that rules out projecting an image from a projector onto the wall.

So how do you get the image on the wall?

Grid..

To start the grid at every foot you have to measure along the floor and make a mark.

After you have all your marks at every foot you have to make marks straight up the wall at every foot until you have grid marks at every square foot.

This mural measures about 136 square feet and at $10 bucks a square foot which you can see on my (price page), they're gonna want their money's worth!

Usually it costs more per square foot to do such artwork on a wall that has a radius, but because I'm such a nice guy (shhhh don't tell anyone).

Using The Level
Using The Level
I'm gonna do it for beers! Just kidding..

Anyway.. today I gotta start painting it in and finish up the sketching on the wall at the same time.

Soooooo.. Laters -

Together Again After A Whole Year!

Forced N2 Submission - April 2013

Yesss..

We kissed and made up!

Our band "Forced N2 Submission" is back.

After the 5K run we're gonna finally throw a jam at my house after a whole year hiatus!

This Sunday at 4PM we're gonna rock it out at "Hale Ai No Kea" (my house) in Loma Linda.

You can bring something to throw on the barbecue because Lloyd's got enough propane to light up the whole night LOL!

Text me if you wanna chill with us, have a brew and throw down on some barbecue! \m/
