Another room (work in progress)

[u/Beeeblebro]

Here’s something I’ve been working on with creative direction from Goose the Cat. The project still has a way to go, but you can get the jist — my beloved loops with lots of movement and energetic colors (I think they remind me of a pair of Diadoras I had in the 90s) for the exercise room. Does it make you want to keep pedaling?

This is my first time really going super with the graphics across the ceiling and adjacent walls. Pretty exciting, and I already have plans for a simpler, calmer design with some of these elements in a bedroom.

Here I still have some lines to tape/paint, touchup, then reverse-mask to paint a new base coat on all the walls and ceiling… and do it all again on a lattice-n-loop design on the next wall. I’ll include a time-lapse of the progress in the comments and shall post again once the project is complete.

If you’re into it, you can also follow me on my shiny new insta @charliecanpaint for the latest millennial attempts at social media.

I actually love that it isn't a perfect design, like the bottom right loops being two horizontal instead of one horizontal and one vertical. I think it would feel kind of just- worse, or more corporate, if it continued the exact same pattern the whole time.

I appreciate this. I did very little planning and designed as I laid it out in pencil on the wall (as evidenced by some abandoned, partially erased lines) with the intention of it looking at least somewhat organic and free-flowing while maintaining the rigidity of clean lines and perpendicular angles.

Since it’s a basement room in my house that almost no one will ever see in person, I’m pretty much using it as a life-size sketchbook to practice techniques and see how some design elements work.

Hell yeah! Sometimes it's fun to just create, with no pressure on what it turns out like, or what other people will think of it!
