Hola Everyone!!! Dottie here :) Sorry it has been a while since I posted a blog!!! We (Mando and I) are crazzzzzzy busy right now working on so much stuff! See you all in Texas very soon! We usually make anything and everything for our amazing clients and customers! WE LOVE YOU! Well with Lone Star Round Up coming up in April, we had to get logos done to make shirts etc! We already had a few logos but then I realized I never had a had a logo for me! So I go and bombard Mando with this and i'm kinda complaining rambling on how I want a mermaid (I LOVE Mermaids-convinced I was one in my past life! lol) and this and that....
*Snap Shot of me when I was really into having green hair*
So while i'm ranting I am following Mando into the studio/man cave giving my demands/requests and he points to the wall and this beautiful gal is right there shinning in all her glory! Yes I actually squealed with joy! NO JOKE!!!
*Isn't she so beautiful??*
So after I finish having a mini-heart attack... I jump online and sent a scanned copy of her to our amazing graphic designer Chuko ZootSuiter-http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001481992702 and he sends back this beautiful logo!!! Yes oh yes you better believe I squealed yet again (Poor Mando I know!! lol) He also sent us Mando's new logo! Amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzing work!
*Beautiful! Love the font!!!!*
Soon after I start looking into getting our shirts done for Lone Star I then realize how pressed for time we are! So we decided it would be best to just make men's shirts this time around! Fingers crossed for Indy so hopefully by then we will have girl tee's! So any who i'm going through inventory and getting ideas for our Beauty Queen Collection! We have a few vintage purses that are brand new dead stock! I found this giant one in our storage and just was wondering what to do with it? Sell it on etsy as a vintage item or do it up all crazy Brown Magic Paint Co. style?
*She is really big! Measures: 10 inches x12 inches!*
*Jerry Moss Holiday brand*
*Love the orange inside! Are those cell phone pockets?!*
So after a day of doing so much for the store-getting all of our purses and cosmetic bags in order to start on our new Beauty Queen Collection for spring...I sat there looking at this giant purse. Wondering who bought it and why she never used it. There is not a scratch on it! It appears to have never been used just put into storage for some time. I sat there thinking and thinking and then I thought Well......its gigantic maybe Mando can stripe it crazy?!? So as usual.... I head over to his lair rambling off my demands how it should have this kind of lettering and striping blab blah blah (I imagine that is how he hears my voice when I get really into describing work orders hahaaa) And he looks up doesn't say anything (in true Mando fashion) I look on his work desk....he is already drawing her out on my purse! We went back and fourth on colors for about a good hour then we finally came up with a combo we thought would do her justice!
*I fell in love her mint skin and beautiful light violet hair!!!!*
So I run grab my camera and start taking pics like crazy! I am using flash on these and yes every time I so am pointing the camera right in Mando's eyes, if he has less than 20/20 vision by the end of the month- I will know its all my doing!
*In his lair creating my frankenstein!*
All of this is hand painted I am in awe of how little time it takes him to make such beautiful artwork-I could not paint to save my life! NO JOKE!!!! I fell in love with contrast of colors he used to "make'' her.
*SHE'S ALIVE!!!! Check out her necklace!!!!*
So soon after my jumping up and down happy with excitement dance......
I got back to start taking another round of pictures--and I missed it!!! Yes too much happy dance for me! She was all lettered! This font instantly reminded me of a mystery novel also a little Scooby Doo-ish!
*The orange font made me think of those Michael Myers Halloween movies!*
Just when I thought this work of art could not get any better....
Mando outdoes himself yet again! Love the outline on all the letters!
* She has been touched by Brown Magic*
*I wish I was this tall! I am on tippy toes-on a chair- spying*
*Yes back to my old trick: I told him there was a smudge and he believed me- in between looking for it I snapped a picture*
So just when she is about to be complete...I start my rambling how I want my name here and there with 'this color and this font or maybe that font with this color' Yeah no matter-half way in deep rambling mode-Mando picked up some sublime green(one of my all time favorite colors) and a paint brush and then I stopped talking! ha!!!
*Mando striping some oh so very special.... Brown Magic*
*Frankenstein is keeping very close watch*
and then.......TA DA!!!! ALL FINISHED!!! I can not believe it!!!! Well.... yes I can cause Mando created her! I am still in awe how an idea we spoke about many moons ago (about me having a logo one day) could have turned into this beautiful masterpiece! I am IN LOVE with her and can't wait to get really awesome girl tee's made! I already found a big pvc tote I am gonna ask for him to "Dottie-Logo" out! Jep on top of all the other request I have! Trust me, there is a really long list!!! If you think Santa has it bad....Poor Mando! I really can't help myself-trust me I have tried!
*BEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!SHE'S ALIVEEEEE*
I just had to run down stairs to snap a pic of her in the salon chair! No photoshop whatsoever-pinky promise!
*Basking in her extra special Brown Magic Paint Co. glory!
