Shark Bait

July 24, 2016
My baby is no longer a baby! And now that he’s “grown” we updated him to a big boy room. It started innocently enough, we moved his furniture to convert his crib into a headboard and I decided to touch up his paint which snowballed into me to painting his entire room a different color at 6:30 at night.

Finishing projects like this is kind of a big deal. As an artist I’m easily distracted, I love starting lots of things but when they tend to get tedious I always decide to come back to them later (and coincidentally), later never comes. This project was started in June-ish? So I was already MONTHS  ...
