The image is Happy Hour Horace and he is enjoying his dark ale..lol. I also used Grumpy Sentiments Sheet for the sign. Horace was colored with my Prismacolor pencils, the sign was colored in Photoshop to the colors I wanted. I used an 8x10 canvas for my project. To create the background, some stencils with molding paste was used, then sprayed with inks, with the finishing touches of gold and silver ink. The gadgets around are metal and chipboard, that were gesso first, then sprayed and painted.
I added these charms to remind what we need to do with our lives. Sometimes we are so hooked in keeping up with the "Jones", we forget to live the lives that really matter to us. These metal charms were fingered painted with rub-n-dub paints (which is fun to use).
thanks for looking and reading :o)
