Designer Eggs
So my girl friend says this morning, "John, would you pick up some eggs?". Sure, no problem. Except she usually buys expensive organic brown eggs, but I usually get the cheaper white eggs. So to appeaser her, I bought the white eggs and some Easter egg dye and made some brown eggs (and blue, etc.). Don't think I saved any money, but had fun. Got a great reaction from her when she found the eggs in the refrigerator. Now she does not want to break them. Yes, they are raw eggs.
Actually, it's some stuff I found in the seasonal section of the grocery store with the other Easter egg dyes. This stuff is water-based and is brushed on. As it dries, it tends to run, giving it the streaking look. It is also metallic paint, with a gold supplied as well as three colors. i mixed the gold with the colors for the best effect.
I am a mural artist working throughout the West Coast. I also do fine art, specifically photography, painting, intaglio and serigraph printmaking and drawing. I am formerly a graphic designer from the "old school", but got out shortly after the computer came along. Did it for 23 years, though. Also taught several college art classes in San Diego and Lake Tahoe, but enjoyed teaching screen printing the most.
The picture of me is from Burning Man.
