This was my first time painting a custom hat, the client friends kid passed away and she wanted to do something special for the father. He loves hats so we decided to take this route so he could always be with him wherever he goes. stuff like this remind me why I chose this path it’s not the easiest but I’m grateful for my clients / collectors and opportunities to make an impact on people’s lives. Enjoy the vid more Great things to come love y’all 🙏🏾 and a special thank you to @_.b0nnie.__ #portrait #checkers #checkerportrait #mindgasumart #Art #Portrait #newyorker hat #customhat #mindgasum https://www.instagram.com/p/CTYT6vpjADP/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s a pleasure to share the process of this commissions painting of @doctori2.0 with you guys. The story behind the background is that most people see the world in a grayish setting .If you flip the painting you’ll see the colors are happy and the sky is bright. Due to her vibe / personality I felt like that was appropriate for her. #checkers #checkerportrait #painting #art #portrait #mindgasum #mindgasumart westcoastart #westcoastartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooartist #chicagomusic #bostonmusicscene #portlandriots #minneapolisriots #newyorker #detroitriots #detroittattooartist #detroitart #detroitartis #miamiartist #wynwood https://www.instagram.com/p/COiYxuSjFN0/?igshid=1nfly1uiakwky
