well, this is what we did while i was bored one day over in the desert ^^

oh, and before you say it sucks, keep in mind we were using fat-tipped paintpens normally used for marking on metal, lol

Reminds me of van Gogh's painting, Starry Night.

It looks good. I wouldn't say "that sucks".

wow, very cool

i'm a guitar player here too, but acoustic. wouldn't want to do that to my cedar top.

Acoustic ftw. I can't play much (my repertoire: St. Judy's Comet, Blues in A, some exercise, Wish You Were Here) but I love the sound of a nice nylon-stringed classical guitar.

well, it's actually supposed to look like 'starry night', so i'm glad you saw that ^^

i figured we could do it okay. since all we had were paint pens, so i was looking for something that used the 'smeared dot' look, not sure what art fans call it. me and a friend did it in about half an hour.

and yea, not something you'd want to do to an acoustic, or even a really expensive electric, since i don't think this type of paint could be good for resonance.

@ bakemaster - eww, nylon strings.... yea, they sound good, but it feels really weird playing them. if it's gonna be acoustic, it needs steel strings for me ^^

graffiti ftw xD

nice, i especially like the bit around the knobs, looks like some weird eyes or something.

i graffiti too much for my own good, just recently painted over graffiti on my monitor, one thing i noticedd with every thing i draw over, i have some form of skull on it XP, the one on my bass there is one of my favourites

yea, it looks really nice. the only thing that seems odd to me is the bit around the upper left screwhole. it's all curvy where the rest is angular, and catches my eye for some reason.

If you mean Satchmo, he's not a guitarist...

joe satriani..unless you were being sarcastic

Bakemaster · Post by **Bakemaster** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:25 am

Oh, I see. Never heard him called "Satch" before. "Satchmo", of course, is the great Louis Armstrong.

Geobot · Post by **Geobot** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:17 am

heh, i've never heard satriani called satch before either... i thought you meant satchmo, and WAS rather confused, lol

americablah · Post by **americablah** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:35 pm
