DIY super hero paintings!

When we were redoing our boys' room, it was all about SUPER HEROES!!

I am extremely cheap resourceful.  I'm not oozing with artistic talent, but I knew that with the right motivation, I could do damn near anything I set my mind to. What was said motivation, you ask? Finding out that artwork would be around $20 for 1 picture. I searched everywhere! So, I knew that it was up to me.

My guys don't have any specific hero that they are obsessed with, that made things easier.

 

I knew a few things:

• I wanted them to be cheap inexpensive
• I wanted them to look good
• I wanted them to be relatively easily identifiable

Being on the cheap thrifty side, I didn't want to pay $5 for canvases. I'm just sayin' who knew how these things were going to turn out! 

Now, please, I ask kindly that you don't judge me....(you just put on your judgmental glasses, didn't you?) Well, here goes, I used pizza boxes. Yeah, that's right!  Come on, not the greasy bottom, I only used the tops. They only have a LITTLE bit of cheese residue on them. PLUS, I let the dog lick it clean - I DO have standards! 

So,  once the boxes were clean and dry, from the dog of course, I got my acrylics and went to work! I was able to find some REALLY simple symbols online - THANK YOU PINTEREST! Here's a link to my pinterest page with tons of superhero stuff..boy's room

Here they are, hanging together. I am pretty happy with how they came out. Maybe someday I will do them on canvases. 

Yeah, probably not!
