And the winner is...

You might remember my previous post about my newest submission to the local Tijuana Flats ceiling tile contest, well they finally tallied the votes and declared a winner. Apparently it is me! Free tacos for me for awhile... OM NOM NOM NOM NOM. They were eager to give me some more tiles in preparation for their next contest. Haven't taken them yet, but most likely will. Here is a photo of the tiles in place at the restaurant.

Tijuana Flats Ceiling Tiles

Back in July I took part in a ceiling tile painting contest for a newly opened Tijuana Flats Tex-Mex restaurant. They announced that they are doing a new painting contest and I jumped at the chance to have some more fun with real paint.

If you are saying to yourself this is all just an excuse for me to paint Godzilla for once... well, you might be onto something. I meant to have this done a lot sooner but being sick last week really put a dent in my production schedule. The contest does not end until the middle of next month so it will be awhile before I know if I won any tacos. I must be patient! Here are some additional images of the tiles...

After an hour or two of sketching out the drawing and laying down some base colors. What you can't see in this image is the hair dryer, because acrylic just does not dry fast enough.

After a couple more hours. Almost done now. At this point it really began to move quickly.
