According to my horoscope today, (from msn.com)

“This day could prove to be a mixed bag, Von. A warm and loving letter or phone call from someone far away could come your way, making you feel great. However, visits with people in your neighborhood could result in some confusing conversations. You’ll need to clarify some of the information involved so as to avoid future misunderstandings. Finally, you might be in the mood to be creative, but inspiration could well elude you. This is a day when your aesthetic desires are best met by studying the works of others.”

Well, when I read that, I thought to myself: Hey! Maybe I’m gonna write something cool today. But I didn’t know that creative meant all the wayyy creative. I was reading Chemistry today. And if you share the same middle name as myself :procrastinator, you’ll get what I was actually doing: daydreaming. So I saw my walls were pretty empty and I thought: wouldn’t it be cool if it had some sorta grafitti? *visualises* then I snapped out and said to myself: why not? *jumps and grabs pencil and started sketching*

Sketching process:

And 6 hours later:

It was a gruesome task and time sure flew by as I did the whole thing. Spent 6 hours listening to Spanish/Italian songs: Reik, Sin Bandera, Francesco Cespedes, Laura Pausini, Alex Ubago and followed by Frank Sinatra and Lounge songs.

My fingers are bright pink from the Magenta poster colors. The worst part about this project is the physical demands. You have to starve, hold your pee and not drink. Certain parts and stages requires a lot of bending. I think my muscles are harder than steel now! Sunlight and fresh air are luxuries when you decide to embark on this kinda project.

Anyways, it sure gave me a peace of mind and its a great experience to have. And I got to practice my control with the brush! All in all, its an awesome project.
