When we're on tour, despite my best efforts, my hands seem to be perpetually stained (Jonas Brothers) blue. I do wash my hands, I promise, but it seems like after every show, I get messier and messier with my painting. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, I hand-paint custom WTL shirts after shows. Click to see my favorite fan pictures of this process.)
I think I solely finger-painted a shirt one time. That definitely didn't come out of my skin for 3 weeks. Don't finger-paint with acrylics at home, kids.
Anyway, we're getting pretty close to the end of the "Better than Bob Ross" Paint-Your-Own-Shirt contest, but there's still time for you to enter! And for those of you that are on the We Team, there's something you could do to help out a bit!
Post this cute little banner up on your myspace, blog, or whatever. Get one of your friends to enter the contest. Try to convince them they can beat you, or that they can't (depending on what kind of friend they are).
I also want everyone to be aware that I'm trying to get my mom to enter the contest. She can paint like a madwoman. She's basically a better looking, female version of Van Gogh (not to be confused, of course, with Van-Go.)
So here are some of my favorites that have already been posted. Watch these and get some inspiration, then go get painting!
Dear my favoritest Matthieu,
ReplyDeleteI got uber excited about this contest but the last few months have had no time to paint a shirt. Sadness. As much as I love you boys and wanted to do this, I had to cut out ALL forms of dance, almost all writing except bad poetry and still have only managed 3 hours of sleep a night since I got home from Quebec.
HOWEVER!! I do have:
1) A camera
2) A youtube account
3) A best friend who did a kickarse tee that you will covet the way a dragon covets gold.
We just finished editing it not even 5mins ago. Expect to see it tomorrow night.
