being alive and back on steemit

in ntopaz •  5 years ago 

hey people,

It's been really long !! And before even I start writing, I feel terribly happy being back on this platform. Almost a yeah , eh ! A few regrets few time for not being active here but was really stuck with some of my field work of mine . Finally, when this COVID happens , followed by a lock down, I got myself some real time to reflect on myself and lifestyle. Decided to be back on steemit but after done with de-cluttering in my lifestyle.

Earlier I ahd shared my issues on not being able to work on paper. I had literallly given on painting on canvas/ sheets. Gladly, I did paint some walls meanwhile which I would be sharing. But now, I had been back holding brushes and painting a few works.

The recent one that I did is a welcome /promotionqal board for a friend who runs his own cafe , working on the ancient cooking techniques and cooking with local and seasonal ingredients. So I have been helping him in creating his space with my ideas and doing some art work for him. I saw this board already painted by another friend as he needed it to display in front of it's stall in an event. I though i can do better and hence took this one home and started it....

This is the one I painted and the one on how it was before...

Since, he has been well known in the town for his wood oven pizza, pita bread and kambucha ( a drink made by preserving) and few more things, i too the few most famous and did some illustrations of them.

It's not how it was done originally by me. Following picture is the first draft done. but I thought of designed as to much unorganized and not the best. So I changed the font size and kept in simple in the lower half...

Funny part was how I misspelled the "hungryhitchhiker". I spelled it as " hungryhitchhicker". But i did correct it before I could pass on to my friend..

So this was my first attempt to make any kind of sign board/ welcome board. I did a simplistic one earlier for another friend, but was not much appreciated by the him and hence, I am on re doing it.
Given the texture of this one, it was not an even one. It got a texture of a leather cloth and hence one need to take the thick paint. And that's why, it was worth giving a try.

How about your reviews/ suggestions on this one. ?!!
