Secret Wall Tattoos by rongo rongo
August 12th, 2010 3:52 PMTextured wallpaper is tough on Sharpies

This hotel was in pretty bad shape. The faucets dripped, the shower only half worked, the carpet was grimy, and the electrical outlets were all loose. I think the addition of this secret wall tattoo improved the room.
Spray paint is faster than Sharpie

I got so excited about the secret wall tattoo idea and my phoenix design that I went looking for another good place to install it.
Replacing the radiator cover

And, a radiator is a pretty hot place. So appropriate for a phoenix nest.
Another fire themed location

I never realized that these fire hoses pivot out on a rack, exposing the wall behind.
The infinite corridor

The main hallway was too busy, even late on a Sunday, so my installation is in one of the side hallways.

Thanks! I had people walk by both of the last spots right as I was putting stuff away, but they didn't stop to investigate.
I love the phoenix. And yours is intriguingly abstract, and very elegant. Fitting.
Thank you. I based the design on a tattoo image, but modified it to work with stenciling.
The stencil in the firehose is heavy metal.
the art is nice too. :)
Wow, the firehose housing!
I guess I never imagined you 'd task in such a bad-ass style, I mean, going out to get a can of spray paint during an academic meeting? hats way off
Sorry to mislead---the spray paint part was after the meeting, once I'd gotten back to Boston and my personal stash of spray paint. I am not *that* cool :)
Thanks. I'm also pro-phoenix. Handy if one is apt to crash and burn with any regularity.
That is a very pretty bird! And you have some nerves of steel!
