The making of last nights piece.

Last night alot of things were accomplished. I started out by cutting two separate ideas out that I felt were important messages for flyers. "I'm starting with me," and "Hey Pittsburgh, think positive." I decided to see what would happen when I meshed the two ideas together and made a few posters to put up around town. I pasted one on the southside and had to hurry home because my friend Kara Sambrick agreed to sit for a portrait(one that was really fun and candy themed-pics soon.)

So I painted her for about an hour and then she set up her tripod to photograph herself so I could finish the portrait later from a picture. She also asked if I wanted her to take a picture of my poster. Absolutely!

So we taped it up on the wall in her garage. I thought it would be cool if I took a marker to it like I was writing on it. Then said, " Wait, I have something EVEN BETTER!!"

She came back with a can of Montana Spray Paint. I held it up and we started shooting some photos of me holding the can.

She entered it into photoshop, then she started to add effects. She asked me to pick a color. Of course, RED!

Thats how this came into fruition. The photo was an awesome collaboration between the two of us. Thats what this the NAJP is about. Its about collaboration to make positivity flourish.

Alone we are nothing, together we take a stand. Together we can change the world to a beautiful positive change.

Have a wonderful day, everyone! Think positive, and start with yourself. Positivity is contagious.
