Pissing Off The Wife With Art...LoL

Ok friends, here is a story for the records..hahahaha
So my wife wants me to do some handy work type stuff around the house ( when all I wanted to do was create)...Welp...figured I would kill two birds with one stone, did some landscaping and painting today.
The whole time working I spent day dreaming about creative projects I could undertake, like making stick figures out of cut grass..hahah.
When I finally finished painting the drive way back wall white, ALL I COULD SEE WAS A BLANK CANVAS!..oh yeah...time to piss off the wife....grabbed the ol rattle cans from the garage and went at it.

Did this little galaxy within about 10 minutes free hand, THE NEXT TIME IM USING MY AIR BRUSH.
"Evil Laugh". Cant wait to see what the other half has to say when she see's this in the morning, my neighbors loved it though...P.S.....If  I dont update in a week....Im in the hospital suffering from a frying pan barrage...LOL

AQU-ERO-VETTE...More Like Pain In The Butt Vette.

Dropping these preliminary shots of the Areovette before I do the final assembly, mainly because I have had to re due this dam thing FOUR TIMES already . I over buffed the first time and the paint came off, I had some kinda weird chemical reaction which caused pot holes the next go round. 

For the finale I got hit with a frosty clear coat right before this final run, I was finally able to produce what you now see..(still a few small flaws) 
Not that bad considering I did not melt the dam thing four times over stripping it with a 60/40 lacquer Thinner/alcohol mix , I'm still tempted to buff a bit more but might just call it a wrap..(cant strip it a 5th time, cause i would pass out from the fumes)

I will explain the paints used and what not in the final post with better pictures tomorrow.

Aerovette Awesomeness, Rebuild From 2001.

I was hanging out in my garage this afternoon, and took notice of a old Revell Aerovette kit I ruined way back in 2001. figured I would strip the two tone crap paint job I tried to achieve way back and redue this baby.

Did a quick rattle can job on the internals and hand painted the small details, did a gloss black base for the body with plans on using one of the duo tone paints I have collecting dust in my stash.

Included a shot of the real thing, this car was always a dream machine for me when I was a kid.

The Actual Monster.

Pacific Rim New Trailer.

The new Pacific Rim Trailer is awesome, The fact that mom is the sole reason behind my love of sci-fi and is no longer here to see this SUCKS.
She had to be 1 of few older woman who has seen howls moving castle, princess mononoke and the like,

here's to you mom.

Happy Mothers Day To ALL MOM'S Out There And To the One I Lost.

Firstly I'd like to send out a heart felt HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to any an all MOM'S who frequent or stumble across my blog, secondly to my MOM who was recently lost to me and my family.

After spending the day packing up her apartment it has turned a 220lb 6'.1" hardened man back into a weeping child yearning for his mother's unconditional love, So...Too the guys out there...I don't care how
bad a$$ you think you may be...Appreciate yer MOM....the loss of one's mom is inexplicable...no matter how close or detached you may be....it gets you in a place you did not think existed.

Happy Mothers Day To All Three Generations Of My MOM'S

Grammy, Gran ma, and Mom.

Miss you all something wicked.

Love Chris.
 

Debbie, My Mom, My biggest fan....I Miss you.

On April 27th at 3:06 am, My Mother Debbie passed away as I and my siblings held her tight.

She was......

My inspiration, My biggest fan, ....... My Mom.
she impacted so many lives, she sacrificed so many things, she gave her last so others could have, she loved when others would not, she fought when most would have given up.
All that I am and have ever over come is owed to her, all that I have achieved or tolerated is due to her.

Its a wonder that animals had never been afraid of her, and I feel that much poorer with her absence.

Thank you for being my mom, I miss you terribly.

Your Son Christopher.
