After the move it took me forever to find all of my spray paint since there were three, maybe four boxes full. Finally I found every precious can and they’re all sitting right next to me in my supply cabinet, each awaiting its call to action. With Halloween coming up, matte black stepped up for […]

Dollar Store Spooky Plates

I often don’t know what I’m gonna paint on stuff I buy. Hence my workshop is full of shelves brimming with “paintables”, as in To Be Painted. Like TBD (to be determined). Like FOP (full of potential). But when I saw these black plates at the dollar store, I knew exactly what I wanted to […]
