Project Paint My Wall à la Collage?

Alrighty!

I have come up with a breeleeyant idea for a project! And I'm really really excited and the reason I'm writing about it is because I have a tiny issue with commitment and I feel once I have put it down here, it'll help me get started for real. It's kinda like I'm signing a pre-nup with my idea. Hahah.

Basically, it's a little like Project 365 which I've seen lots of people do for awhile now, but I'm not going to do that because I am a lousy photographer. :P

The idea is to pick a wall in the house, and divide it into squares about 7in x 7in, and basically just fill in those squares with whatever I feel like painting in.

Seeing as to the fact that I don't actually have a diary, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to chronicle this current point of my life, but not really, because a lot of the squares could quite possibly be picture gags like this one. Because I have a sophisticated sense of humour like that.

Just stuff. I don't think I really need to explain it.

Also I think it would be great to develop a brand-new skill and hopefully I'll even learn some cool stuff along the way.

So anyway! I will be going to to hardware shop for paint soon (tomorrow?) and I have already chosen my first piece! It's really simple but I might be more ambitious in future and paint someone's face! Any willing contributors? Anyone? :D Of course I would have to learn how to vector your portrait (I'm no Van Gogh so I'll need to cheat!) but if you're cool enough to contribute to my silly little project then I shall be cool enough to learn how to use Photoshop. :)

One of the rules of setting goals is to set a realistic time period in which you hope to achieve that goal, but I don't really know when I will be done with this, or whether it will end up like most people's Project 365's. But the wall would look really strange if I painted in like 10 squares and lost interest so yeah. I may not be brave enough to get tattoo sleeves (I chickened out, did I tell you that? After the disaster with my first one. I'm still in the process of getting rid of it and I'm horribly embarrassed about it and in case you were wondering, YES IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH!!) but I can still decorate my wall with random pictures!

Wish me luck! ;)



PS: OMG the post has been sitting here for like an HOUR. I'm getting cold feet?!? This is ridiculous. COMMIT!! *clicks Publish button*

sometime late last year. brave? currently i just feel really dumb >.<

project 365 is (if i'm not mistaken) about taking a picture and blogging it, for a 365 consecutive days. i think. pretty neat huh.

no matter how dumb would that be? It's already a pass tense. Couldn't undo that. just embrace it.

So, you're starting your own project huh? yah, guess that willl keep you to blog more often about the update of ur drawings. haha. Looking forward to you own MonaLisa. sweet!!!
