Plain Jane Car Decal

[zwanzig]

Day eight. Five hours. 

Project status: finished.
Total hours: 36

 I haven't updated for a while. Because I was embarrassed.

On the 24th of July, I was ready to be done. All I had to do left was the biplane. And I felt confident that in 6-7 hours, I could knock it out of the park. At some point in the painting process, I think this thought, this goal post, overwhelmed me. Because all of a sudden, I started painting shit. And I kept going and painting more shit. So, by the time I was at a stopping place on that day, I had not only NOT finished like I wanted to but also now I had shit on my dad's car and would need to fix it.

I promise you; 90% of my artist identity is wrapped up in ego. So, it hits below the belt to fail this badly on a surface that you're not supposed to fucking mess up on. Only magic all the time, get it right, Andy!

Okay, got the stencil on there and starting the values on the wings.

Oh, sure, go ahead and just take a dump right on there. 



Hey, might as well keep going. Why not? More shit right on there. Go to town, buddy.

So, I didn't wanna talk about it. I didn't want to post my failures without having my success waiting in the wings. Because I get the feeling some folks anticipated this sucking or turning out crappy. And the less validation I could give to those guys, the better. So, yeah, I screwed up. But then I fixed it.






Holla at yer bad self.

It's not 100% perfect but it's enough that I'm satisfied that my father won't be driving around with shit on his car. 



I also went back in and redid Jane's eyes blue to make it more accurate.



Thank you for following along.
