Homz Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 My boredom led to this. I took some printer paper cut out a stencil taped it to an old POS acoustic. I used the only paint I could find around. It was silver high temp paint used for outdoor grills or hot water radiators. The design was supposed to be a dragons head over a mountain. More resembles a rabid horse, but what the hell. I kinda like it. What do yaz think? I ain't sensitive so don't worry about sparing my feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh, I forgot to mention the edges weren't quite clear enough due to spray over, so I used a black Sharpie to outline everything. The guitar is an early 90s Samick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Pretty cool. I wish I had some talent when it came to tangible (not electronic) art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey Homz, Glad to see someone bring my old avatar out of retirement. I really liked those guys when I used them a year ago. p.s. I like the stencil work. Looks like it could be a beer company or sports team logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hmm' date=' is that sarcasm? [/quote'] Not at all. I do web design for a living so I'm pretty good with PhotoShop and Illustrator but I can't draw or paint very well. And I just stay the hell away from power tools. True story: I took a woodshop class in highschool and one of the assignments was to make a pencil holder that consisted of three squares of wood, each smaller than the one beneath it, stacked up like a pyramid. The first part of the project was to cut out the base as close to perfectly square as you could get it. After that, you took a plane to adjust the sides and get the angles to 90 degrees. After you got it, you took it to the teacher to get graded on that part of the project. So, I took my base up to the teacher and he put it on top of a larger piece of wood where he had penciled in lines marked "A" "B" and "C" - the smaller your base, the worse your grade. Well, mine was waaay inside of the line marked "C" so he took his pencil, traced my base on his grading template then labeled the line "D".

Hey, It's all good. I mean it's not exactly "mine" but I have used it. I call them Zeke, and Clem. (Zeke has the lightning fast hands, while Clem has the club foot.) They both have mad skills though. ~peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonicchaos Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I thought it was a dog. yeah, me too. :- It actually turned out pretty cool though Homz, I like the silver/black combo. I agree, It does look like it could be one a beer can or a logo! Boredom suits you Homz. Embrace the power, the power of the SCHWARTZ!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of surprising to me. She is a wizard on the piano and can't play **** on the guitar. She wasn't thrilled when I told her about the paint job.

It'd probably take a stencil of a pinup girl (or whatever they're called) to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
