Superhero Art

After seeing the superhero art by I Am Momma Hear Me Roar, I was inspired to do a painting for my grandkid’s bedrooms.

Even though mine are over 4 feet long, they are still smaller than the painting at I Am Momma (they used a hollow core door). 

The superhero theme is perfect for Nolan.  And I made it first.  See, I thought because of the clean lines and lack of details, it would be easier.
Ha!  Not so at all.  At least not for me… it’s really hard to be that exact :)

Also.  I had to change up the heroes a bit.  We couldn’t leave out Mr. Spiderman!

I chose a Bible verse for each painting.  Nolan’s is Isaiah 11:2 --
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.
I’ll show you Skyleigh’s painting next week ;)

Jeremiah 29:11 subway art

I’ve been adoring subway art for quite awhile now.  I  so wanted to make one with a Bible verse. 

There are lots of great tutorials out there in bloggy land for subway art, each using a slightly different method.  I finally decided to give it a try, following these instructions from Tater Tots and Jell-O. 

First, I picked Jeremiah 29:11.   Then I played around with the words.  They looked much better with different font sizes and some of the words bold or narrow.  As per Tater’s tutorial, I took my file to Kinko’s and had the words printed there.  The black from my inkjet printer is not even close to true black.

I used a 12 x 16 art canvas and painted it black. Edges too.  

Hint:  Once you get the words arranged to your liking, BE SURE TO TAKE A PHOTO before permanently affixing them to the canvas!!  It’s super hard to remember the word placement and spacing once you start gluing the words down.  (Not that I would know or anything) K 

What do you think?  I love it and can’t wait to make approximately 67 a few more.
