The Monkey Gamer Mural
Mission Impossible? No chance. Move over Tom, This is Nicola Cruise! My mission, which I chose to accept, was to paint a mural in less than 48 hours. Set the alarm. Clear the decks. Coffee on tap!
GAME. ON.
As a surprise for their video game playing son, my clients commissioned me to paint a magical mural in super quick time (their son was staying with relatives for a couple of days). I loved painting this monkey, he was deeply cool, full of character, with bright and beautiful colours, and even featured neon glow-in-the-dark paint. The parents and their son loved it. Mission accomplished.
As they say… Life is a Game. Play it well.
It always begins with the eyes! I see you my monkey. I see you.
It’s all about building up the layers. One colour then another. Then another! And another!
This gamer is so focused, but I love the wry smile. A wise soul indeed.
Haha! Splat! Contrary to what it looks like, I don’t throw the paint against a wall!
It’s getting late on Day 1. Paints everywhere! Neon layers getting painted on.
Early morning Day 2 - Don’t even need to look. I now know exactly where everything is! Multi-tasking like only a woman can!
THERE. HE. IS.
48 hours later (in fact much less than that). The Gamer Monkey Mural is finished.
My client’s son was over the moon. Makes it all worth it. Life is a game. Play it well people. Play it well.
