My Work Art Project
 
My Superintendent came to me a few months ago with an idea of painting an American flag on this 40ft container. He also wanted some kind of logo that represented who we are.

So I made a few sketches, came up with a logo and got it approved. First I had to pressure wash the container, level it, prime the are you see, add 3 coats of bright white and finally start painting the flag.

Using simple math to scale from a small existing flag, then sizing the stars and lettering correctly and ordering from the vinyl graphics shop.

Took me 5 days in the hot sun, was a lot more difficult than I previously thought.

Because our shop is the smallest of the 4 facilities in the county is the meaning.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1559765939.jpg

Need the domain name underneath in smaller print, and possibly a QR code.

You did a great job making that look great on that surface. I'm envious of your skills. Congratulations.

The corrugated wall really works for the flag. Well done.

You could take it to another level if you put your Gary Larson avatar about 4 feet high in the lower right.

Somebody with mad Photoshop skills cook that up using the top photo and post it here. Please.

^^^^^ That's funny man, that image of how that would look in my minds eye - made me spit coffee out my nose this morning! Great idea^^^^

Yes, definitely, hand painted! ;)

Oh well... I don't have Photoshop, so here's the best I could do. If someone else here would do a proper job with the transparent layer thing happening so that bright white disappears, I'll gladly delete this post.
