"It's just a little paint..."

Approved design

This comment was made on one of the facebook posts. If you’ve ever painted a mural before (and I know that some of you on this list have – kudos!)  you know that this is an understatement! Here’s a partial supply list for this project:

• Ladder

• Projector

• Bins

• Paintbrushes

• Paint tray and rollers

• Water buckets

• Cart

• Painter’s tape

• Gloves

• Hairdryer

• Chalk

• Large fans

• Dropcloths

• Spackle

• Paint

• Paper Towels

• Plastic wrap

• Trash bags

• QTips

• Rags

• Xacto knife

• Scissors

• Measuring tape

• Kleenex

• Markers, pencils

In addition to the supply list, there’s also a tiny bit of coordination needed:

• Socialize idea with friends and family to get feedback on project vision

• Design and develop a proposal for WSDOT including multiple sketches for different walls

• Ask close friends to review and give feedback on design and proposal content

• Gain WSDOT management and leadership approvals

• Create and launch Kickstarter campaign (ask close friends for video support and reward ideas)

• Make backer rewards (see photo above!)

• Meet with WSDOT to find time when ferry terminal is available (reduced foot traffic)

• Work with local paint store to find the right paint (low VOCs) in the right quantities and the right colors

• Coordinate with day job to get time off

• Practice painting mural in basement to identify any process issues early on

It’s been a fabulous 3 months of collaboration and excitement. Thank you again for making this happen.
