It is the day. The day I get my half sleeve finished. I am so excited and I can't wait to see how it all comes together. For three weeks I have been imagining my art filled with bright colors and beautiful representations of the pinball machines I play. So far I have gotten many compliments on Skull adn the colors that were put into the piece. In a strange way skull turned out to be beautiful. I get some people who just assume its a skull and thats ok. They think its cool looking and to my eyes I know the story, the game, and why I wanted it presented on me.
The rest of the piece is going to take a while. I plan to bring in headphones, a charger, water, and a snack for when we take a break. Im going at 2 p.m and were just gonna go until were finished. It was be the longest session I have ever done for a piece so we will see how it all goes down. I know for three hours I was pretty exhausted and unsure if I was going to finish. At some point it felt like sandpaper and I really wanted to kick the guy. Luckily he was almost done when it started to feel that way so I could ignore the pain for just long enough for him to put in the finishing touches.
I know that once this peice is done I am heading down to the bar and having a triple sprite and vodka. Maybe a snack. Im not sure yet. All I know is that it will be a long day and it will be pricey. Yet I also know that it will be worth every cent.
I am ready to be back in the chair to finish this masterpiece.
