SP Photography

Two weeks ago I was called by a lady who wanted a graffiti painting done in her sports training center for highschoolers and she needed it done in two weeks. I am more of a person who is good at drawing more than painting so I was a little nervous, it'd been a while sense I had painted last, but I needed the money and I knew it was a great opportunity. I had two days to get some sketches, which I found to be alot harder to come up with under this much pressure but one was finally created. I met with the ladies, Angi and Jen, and showed them a sketch, I told them the story behind the lion I had drawn and how it stood for a skier who was a huge inspiration and had passed a while ago, his name was CR Johnson and he was very close with Tanner Hall. CR was said to have the heart of a lion, he had had a major head injury and had 10% chance of walking. Not only did he walk, but he regained his place as a professional skier. Angi and Jen loved it and I was set to start painting the next day. I was nervous because I wouldnt be able to trace the sketch onto the wall I just had to go at it. When I have people with high expectations in my work there was going to be no way I could let them down. I started with the lion and worked my way across the wall ending with writing like a lion next to the painting and signing my name of corse. I finished today in two hours after finishing up the last graffiti word and signing my name. This was a big accomplishment for me and I am proud of my work. These photos were taken by my good friend Kristen.
