clavus · 04-27-2005, 01:52 PM

Mom always said, "Don't color on the walls."

Well, I have my own place now. Checkitout.

the artist known as "clavus"

Still have the window taped up...

AAAH! Where are all these wires supposed to go?

Magpie0001 · 04-27-2005, 02:16 PM

That is AWETACULAR!!!!!

maleficent · 04-27-2005, 02:18 PM

First I must say.. topless.. oh :applauds: :big grin:

It's cool looking... but busy... you gonna be able to concentrate with that going on? It's really very neat looking though.... Nice job staying in the lines

clavus · 04-27-2005, 02:45 PM

Ah, yes. I'm suprised that any of the office is visible behind my massive, muscle-bound torso.

I have no trouble concentr...oo! is that a bug? Neat! Hey, want to ride a bike?

ARTelevision · 04-27-2005, 03:05 PM

Nothing like an art environment.
Cool clavus - sort of a winter camo effect.

kramus · 04-27-2005, 03:08 PM

tres groovy man, tres groovy!

Lead543 · 04-27-2005, 03:13 PM

That's amazing and very original. Good job!

VarsityDrinking · 04-27-2005, 03:45 PM

Did you buy that desk from Best Buy/Staples/Office Max?

clavus · 04-27-2005, 03:47 PM

Nah. I got the desk from some artsy-fartsy furniture store long long ago.

Thanks, all.

hambone · 04-27-2005, 03:50 PM

that looks really really cool. Nice job.

I laughed out loud at work when I read that.

Lol that's awesome clavus!

Very camouflage like - what inspired these patterns?

blahblah454 · 04-27-2005, 11:29 PM

Wow, that is really, really cool. I like funky paintjobs like that, so much better than drab solid colors.

Who knows. I just started sketching, next thing I knew I was painting. I think it has a very Tim Biskup feel to it.

Mondak · 04-28-2005, 08:51 AM

Great job. I painted my office as well, but nothing like yours! It was the first thing I ever painted and I am about the only one who likes it - most think it is too dark. Usually that is a good sign for me

Astrocloud · 04-28-2005, 09:50 AM

I think it's very nice.

J-DaWg · 04-29-2005, 10:39 AM

thats wild .. i'd love a room like that!

clavus · 04-29-2005, 11:52 AM

Thanks. You have my expressed written permission to paint your room like that.
Materials needed
- (3) Cans of Paint
- Brush
- Roller
- Beer

Directions - Paint the lighter colors before the darker ones. Drink the beer.

FngKestrel · 04-29-2005, 11:48 PM

Not really art related, but I gotta know. Any amusing mishaps occur during the painting of the room?

Fly · 04-30-2005, 06:17 AM

looks good clavus..........you sure you didn't drink the beer first?

superiorrain · 04-30-2005, 07:16 AM

Just goes to show mom isn't always right, usally is, but not always. Important lesson in there somewhere. Good Job, looks awesome.

questone · 04-30-2005, 04:24 PM

groovy man

cinnles · 05-01-2005, 03:49 AM

that's pretty cool! Nice work.

I painted my room bright yellow. That's about as out there as I can get with decoration these days...

My desk on the other hand is a possibility. I was contemplating using water stains to my advantage, it's a dirty old hunk of maple and the stains go very light.

any wood knowledgeable types recommend against this?

I locked myself inside a can of paint, naked, with nothing but a sawzall and my foul-smelling thumb.

At least you weren't hydrating your self with the toilet brush cup this time!

bernadette · 05-03-2005, 02:44 PM

pfft! what does mom know?

looks fun!

majik_6 · 05-03-2005, 11:02 PM

That's really nice!

I can see the Biskup relation, even if there aren't any freaky twig-armed psychadelic mythical characters!

It almost has a quality reminiscient of Shag (http://www.shag.com/gallery.html) on lsd. Somehow.'

Good show, chap!

Hardknock · 05-06-2005, 08:44 PM

Wicked!!

I like it!

I could use a desk like that too.
