States

Acrylic on vinyl
39.25 x 27.5 in (99.7 x 69.9 cm)
I found a pretty nice print of the United States and thought it'd be a good repurpose. I say nice print and I mean that for a few reasons. First, it was a pretty good map with each state's postal abbreviation. Second, and more for my purpose, it was taught on its frame. When I'm looking for repurpose materials, I do a quick tap test. If it's taught, it should work well with minimal effort. If it's loose, I'll likely have to re-stretch it. That takes more work, but it's good practice and lets me resize if needed. I didn't really have a plan, but I wanted to create something with the same idea as Skyward. It has been sold, so a companion of sorts felt appropriate.
The original vinyl print (hence the title) and a gif of the process.
3 days had passed but it sat for nine days before I got back to it.
I don't know if I will make a frame for it - the canvas is about a 1/2 inch deep.
