okay now you saw it's painted in a corner booth with the corner adding the depth to the forced perspective I created looking down into a '50s diner car

remember I told you GET YOUR CLIENT THINKING CREATIVE?

as soon as the client suggests a creative idea to add to the art HE'S ALREADY DECIDED HE'S PAYING YOU

So go ahead and get him thinking creative with you

This client wanted me to paint his son sitting at the table with his grandparents who he never met

understand? It had a personal meaning to him SO I COULD CHARGE HIM WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANTED

He was a millionaire... I could have gouged him but I only charged $12,000

It's not my best work at all lol far from it It doesn't need to be Michelangelo art

It's simply needs to be something that the customers can look at while they eat their meal and take a pause from talking

no customer will ever complain to the owner "I think he should have put more shadow over there" hahahahaha

IT'S THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

okay so I painted his son the way he looked at the time (his son is now probably almost 40 years old? 35 maybe? lol

And I painted his parents sitting at the table, And I asked him for pictures of his brother and sister and I put them in there as well

and the soda jerk guy standing on the other side of the diner?

That was his asshole business partner and it was a personal jab at him... Long story

That was Bob Sotis, The business partner of Darcy Messina, the millionaire client who had a wicked sense of humor

He paid me to make fun of his business partner and make him feel like a junior partner

But this is one wall and it represents $6,000 and it only took me a couple days to paint
