On Monday February 21st, my friend Kendall invited me to come down to Provo to help him and his roommate paint their apartment. We first thought to paint something exciting but not to crazy so the next tenants might not make us repaint, however, with Josh as an art major and Kendall as an animation major, that idea soon went out the window as ideas began to flow. We set off to seek inspiration from a graffiti wall, but ended up going on a hike/stroll to Bridal Veil Falls.
We played in the snow and explored an abandoned building.
We traveled to the DI looking for inspiration... No luck. Until Kendall and I found this:
And so began our adventure...
What do you think? We didn't quite finish it so I'll have to post pictures of the finished product soon. Especially because one of my favorite parts, the kangaroo, is missing. But I'd say it's probably the most exciting painting job I've ever seen. I've never painted a mural before but I am totally inspired to paint one in my next apartment! I'll just have to have Kendall come draw it for me - do you see that beautiful sun?? All I really did was paint inside the lines... Kendall was the one to make it so beautiful. What a fun fun date!
Wow! That is quite the mural. Looks like fun. How did you meet this Kendall guy?
ReplyDeletehaha ya, it was a pretty exciting mural - we'll have to finish it and I'll take some more pictures :) I met Kendall through my old roommate Alli. She just married Kendall's cousin in February but set us up on a blind date a little while ago. He's fun :)
