2 days til Figment First Night and I am still painting like a mad woman. I will definitely have 1 side of each ornament completed and I am thinking of puttibg #FFN15 on the back of half of them. I will be dropping off my ladder tomorrow night for it to be transported to the Commons by someone who is driving a truck on site. Wheee!!!

I have been painting like a mad woman. I have 14 out of the 24 ornaments at least partially painted and 2 that are complete. For now, I am just painting one side so that I know for sure I can get that completed in time. If I still have enough time once that is done, I will start painting stuff on the other side. Tomorrow, my lights are supposed to arrive and tomorrow night is an artist walk-through. I will get to see where my tree is located and I can plan how I am going to hang the lights and ornaments. Here are some of the painted ornaments.
I have all of the ornaments primered and painted with the base, solid color. Here are some pics, including the start of painting the icons on the first 2 ornaments.
I'm very excited to be VJing tomorrow night at Arc Nightclub for Mr. C, who was in the Shamen!!!! This is huge for me!
I am super excited! I decided to submit a project for Figment First Night 2015 and I was accepted and will be funded! I am doing a tree lighting project with blacklights and neon acrylic painted ornaments that will have icons related to the theme of Innovation, Imagination, and Celebration. This is the first time I have submitted a project proposal for funding and it will definitely be the biggest event I have ever done an art project for. My tree will be located in the Figment First Night section of the Boston Commons, somewhere near the Park Street T stop. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I want to do 24 ornaments and hope to make them 2-sided, which means 48 separate pictures.
I have started working on my Figment First Night project. I bought the wood, primer, and fluorescent UV reactive spray paint to start the ornaments. Here is a pic of some of the wood pieces after their first sanding. The jar with glowing liquid is my paint brush rinse jar, but it looks like it could be radioactive.
