This cool idea i got from one of those guy that paints at the drawing group i attend. One night he was just using his oil paints on cardboard. Just plain everyday shipping cardboard and to me at least that seemed cool. Other ideas of places that i've gone to and how artist have turned their cardboard boxes into artwork. The best example would be California Pizza Kitchen. The way the boxes are mounted and displayed it doesn't seem like kids scribbling any more. It's legit artwork! I had just finished a box of cereal and i thought what better time than now to paint on it. Worst case scenario if it was so God awful i could just say i was practicing but it actually almost turned out well. At the time i was finishing i wasn't sure if i was going to save it or use it for a Valentine's Day package. Just so happened that it all came together.
I really didn't get a chance to use oils on this one it was basically all acrylic and a little marker work.
