Well.
I'm not much of a handyman although there are some things I've learned over the years through home renovations.
Those regular visitors know that I'm finishing a few bits and pieces of my house so I can sell it.
I've spent the last few days clear coating architraves.
I did the last coat on the skirting board last night with the last dribble left in the tin.
When I woke up this morning I discovered that the end of the tin was all tained and it looked like I'd been painting with glue.
I was not happy.
A quick sand an a repaint with clear coat was all it took to fix, but they will never look as nice as they did before I fucked them up.
I also did a tiny bit of painting.
It's remarkable really - give me a brush and a pile of colours and I'll whip you up something spectacular.
A blank wall...can I ever make it look good?....
I would never ask my builder to whip me up a commercial script or a mural would I, so why do I tackle these little things???

Next time try it with Photoshop or Painter 5.
Funny illo. What a multi-talented guy.
Excellent! You make a fine Saint Sebastian.
Oscar - I'll do it in Illustrator then I don't have to worry about the resolution.
Kactiguy - multi talented?
Hardly.
Theo - I was a little rude to you back there, I didn't realise who you were I'm sorry!
Who is he?
Theo is the uncle of good friend of mine - a regular visitor and no-one who deserves my smart arsed mouth (...he is American though...)
very funny drawing Elliot! good luck with all the fixing and renovating around your house.
Not a problem, Elliot. With a couple of nails in my forehead I'd be a bit cranky, too.
Not handy? It takes precision and skillful know-how to place those nails in your forehead and still have it read in silhouette. Bravo!
Stef - Thanks mate. Repairing the damage was a fairly simple affair fortunately.
Theo - Ha - cheers.
Smooker - I'm vaguely handy, but not very...
always fertile, always funny...elegant too. You're one of those guys who puts on his tuxedo to draw.
Neil - quite a compliment from someone whose work I've very much come to admire.
I also thank you for the link.
All means a great deal.
Cheers.
