Towson Vs. UMBC College Beirut (Beer Pong) Table
As a celebration for the end of my college sophomore year, I decided to paint our Beirut (Beer Pong) Table. Below are pictures of the final product and the process of creating the table.
First I needed to sand off the paint that was currently on the table. Once this was done, I primed the plastic with a plastic spray paint primer. Before painting the table, I needed to tape off the sections with the design I created earlier. First two equilateral triangles were made; Each measuring 14" and centered on each side of the table. I then made a 1" border around these triangles and another 1" border around that border. This will create a 19" equilateral triangle on both sides so that 10 and 6 cup Beer Pong can be played. I then taped off the two middle stripes, both measuring with 1" widths. Using acrylic paint, I painted 3 coats of bright yellow and 2 coats black. Once the table was dried, I began to stencil the logos for each school. I then painted, 2 coats of black, 2 coats of white, 3 coats of yellow, 2 coats of brown, and 1 coat of gray. After finishing the logos, I stenciled out the logos to be placed on the sides of the table: Under Armour, Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A and Warrior Lacrosse. Once these logos were painted, I let the table dry for 24 hours. Triple Thick Gloss was then applied evenly over the table, sealing the paint from being exposed to any liquids. 1 heavy coat was applied and then a touch up coat was applied 12 hours afterwards to areas that might have been missed. After 24 hours of drying the table was ready to be handled.
Donald Duck Toilet Seat
I am a big fan of Donald Duck, so when I moved into my apartment for school, I decided to paint the toilet seat cover. Take a look:

Assignment: Use the "Chuck Close Method" to create a self-portrait drawing/painting that combines representational and abstract elements. We were to develop a system of color, design, and mark making that reinterprets the self-portrait image through abstraction as well as continue to explore color interaction and the principles of organization.
