Delivery Accepted

Last night, Tuesday July 20th, around 9 PM a nice man from the north (with a crazy accent.. he said CAHDBOAWRD) delivered our backboard and basketballs to our workspace. We don't have a nice studio space like most, but we have some great friends who happen to have an industrial sized garage in their backyard, big enough to accommodate large canvases such as an NBA regulation sized backboard!!

Luckily there were 5 men there young and strong and able bodied to haul this thing down a loose stone driveway, through an oil spill, over a car lift, and onto our plywood base.



The delivery was smooth, nothing was broken or dropped, thank god. The backboard is ginormous. Its 6 feet wide and 3 and a half feet tall. We decided the best way for us to work on it is to lay it flat on the ground.


We cut the sucker open and stared at it in awe for about 30 minutes. We were at a loss of ideas when we first started talking about the project but once we got this thing placed and opened up, we were rambling ideas out like a freight train. This thing is going to look insane when we are finished with it and the process is going to be intense.

The basketballs are going to be a tricky canvas to work on, but nothings impossible. We each get to do an individual ball, which will be cool. Im sure they will look awesome together. My cat likes it.
