ACRYLIC POUR GUITAR, 2019

 

Starting in Feb 2019, after seeing a video of this technique, I “discovered” acrylic pouring, where one pours several colors of acrylic paint into a cup, and then pours it onto something, creating intricate swirls. This led to me creating numerous pieces (some are featured later), and culminating in this last one, which I did after gaining some experience and developing confidence that I could do it without ruining the guitar or wasting a lot of paint (again, this was shortly after my divorce, and even $20 worth of paint was a hit). I actually messed this up a bit, when I accidentally touched the guitar after a few days and realized the paint wasn’t 100% dry (you can see the bluish spot on the top, just above the bridge). Still, this is one of my most striking pieces ever, I feel, and it hung prominently at my club Spoonz and was revered by many guests.
