We manually cut and formed a piece of reclaimed 26 gauge galvanized steel into an interesting sign-canvas. It comes ready to hang from a hand made steel clip. All edges have been manually filed smooth and the edges are folded to the back, which creates an attractive rounded edge and a sturdy base for my art.

After cleaning and priming the metal I lay down a vivid green field of color and hand drew a wonky plaid. Between layers I lightly sanded the piece to give the pattern a worn, fuzzy effect. In contrast, the bright purple cat with pink highlights is painted in a straightforward cartoon style. The colors are bold and vivid, and the tiny detail touches in the mouth and white highlights make it pop from the background. A tan baseball cap flies above its head, and the silver jacks are made with metallic paint.

Art is protected with a Matte clear coat.
