Cool skater dudes and cigars.

Well, inevitably Captain America had to come down. I must say it was more fun than it should have been to peel the paint off the window. My fingers got very pruny. Wish I had a better camera, but of course my batteries are dead, as usual, so iphone shots it is!



The new one! I got into what I call "work mode" and forgot to take process photos for you. The reflections are a big pain in the butt, there's a lot of detail there that is very difficult to capture, like the logos on the inside board, and that arrow says "Friends of Savers". The company this month is Longboard Living. The café is selling a bunch of boards and other merch, if yer in the hood you should check it out!



Aviv and I have an addiction called "Way too many cigar boxes" and we just got our grubby hands on more!

Super painting there, Britt!

Oh hey guys, fancy meeting you here! Well, since you're here, I might as well tell you AAAALLL about the things I've been up to this week!

It AAAAAAALLL started with this guy I made for indigo, and boy, was it a learning experience!




If you click on this little montage you'll go to a set with all images in it, so you can, like, see them all big and stuff. I'm sorry my stinky ex-roomate is in there, she insisted on visiting me, and keeping me company for the last leg of my 7am - 5pm shift.

Harry potter and Voldemort are long gone now, but because they were SO AWESOME, *wink wink* I got a lovely email from Josette at ING direct, who wanted the same treatment for her windows! They do something pretty awesome over there at ING, where they partner up with a local company and sell some merch at their café on Yonge and Shuter. The proceeds from said sales then go to a local charity. They were also holding a Kids Week full of fun activities for those little trolls that live in your houses. To help drum up sales and gawkers and bored people and the like, I did a little something like THIS:



AND THIS:



To see all the process shots click on the above images to be gently redirected to a flickr set.

And do you know what the best part about all this is? I get to do it again!! LOTS! So get ready for a bunch more of these guys and have fun watching me make a mess of myself, and stumble through the process of painting backwards.

Thanks to Josette and everyone involved at ING for the opportunity. And also thanks to Amanda and Rachel and everyone at Indigo for the ORIGINAL opportunity to paint all day instead of working.

And I guess I should be a good business person and throw this out there: if you're located in Toronto and you want your own fancy window that you're willing to pay for, gimme a shout at britt@brittwilson.com
