PaintBox update: cleaning and priming my box in Roxbury!

Today I got to see my box for the first time in the flesh. Awesome location and a little more sidewalk space than the last time around 😂🎉

PAINTBOX 2022: Documenting my paintbox journey!

PAINTBOX 2022: Documenting my paintbox journey!

My journey begins at Walmart. 😂 Time to get some supplies! I love getting art supplies at Walmart because you really get a bang for your buck without comprising much on quality (I find these paints are just as good as anything you’d get at an art store like Blick). I got 51 tubes of paint for 25 bucks! Also, the ability to get a variety of colors saves me time mixing, or lack thereof, when I go to paint. 😂

Also got primer, brushes, paint trays, sanders, and top coat. The goal here is to preserve the box as much as possible. So the cleaning, priming, and top coat really matter.

The City of Boston pays each artist $500: $200 for supplies and $300 for labor. I’m in good shape! 😂

Some neat finds from my recent cutting haul. These cut outs come from Reminisce magazines. They were filled with nostalgic content - here’s a small sample of hundreds of cutouts!

Want to shout out @wendysartroom dropping off a huge stack of these incredible magazines - an absolute real one! 🎉🫶

What does your collage process look like? As much as I love collaging, it’s just as fun to dabble with digital design. Made this in illustrator and now hung up in the dining room.

*update SOLD*🚨ONE TIME ONLY IG SALE!🚨
I’m selling one HUGE 40”x54” (yes that is almost 5ft tall!!) canvas print of my Christmas in the City collage! Check out my pup Prue for scale. This thing is perfect for anyone who loves Boston and loves Christmas. And also great if you have any last minute presents to give. How fun would this be all wrapped up?

Colors are vibrant, canvas is durable and sturdy. Easy to hang.

Local drop off required, unfortunately no shipping at this time. $150 for this print. This print is not listed on my Etsy shop, please DM me if interested!!

Also selling two smaller scale versions that are still huge…. Two 36”x48” (3ftx4ft) versions are available for $100 each. Local drop off only.

Support small business this Christmas 💯🎄🙌

Still a work in progress, but we made some serious headway on the community collage project yesterday at HBS’s Case 100 celebration!!

It was an absolute blast to see how many people participated and what ways they approached the task to glue something down. Check back to see how it turns out!
