More Live Painting/ Benefit Concert

About 3 weeks ago my Friend Malissa asked me if I wanted to be involved in her benefit concert and I agreed (without realizing how much work she wanted to do). I thought it would be a great opportunity to expose my work and even launch my clothing line.

Before the show, she wanted me to paint two of the artists performing that night, so I went on MySpace to look for these underground hip-hop artist and end up with these low quality picture:

Since the day she asked me to do the show and till the day of the show, I finished the painting through finals week and here are the results:



I also made a few buttons/pins for merchandises but my t-shirt didn't go through. I realized I should have consider the legalities of starting a business before making the designs.

The event was a huge turn-out, the restaurant was packed, sold some paintings (most of the profit went towards the benefit), and I got lots of reference/business card from "clients".

I don't have any pictures of me painting at the show; I'm still waiting till my friend send me them.

I'm extremely burnt out, and I'm ready to hit the sack.
