BUILD NOTES
I made this shortly after college, during a time when I really wasn't creating much of anything. I had the urge to make something. I bought the canvas and paints, and realized I had no paintbrushes. I laid the background down with my hands, then loaded plastic shopping bags with paint and pressed them into it. I finger-painted the figure over three evenings after work, and then stopped because I liked where it landed.
THE COST
I bought the paint and canvas, and I'm relatively certain my cell service was shut off later that week.
