Follow-up on Rundum exhibition preparations
My long-awaited LEDs did arrive on Monday but turned out to be a completely wrong colour compared to the previous ones, making the pictures look purple. So yesterday I had to travel far and wide and visit parts of Tallinn I didn't even know existed to find more-or-less suitable LED lights for the new light boxes. The problem with living in Estonia as opposed to Asia is that people don't yet appreciate the tremendous greatness of LED lighting and thus they are A) not readily available on every corner and B) not affordable at all. Because I was desperate and didn't have time to order more lights from China I had to pay more than 10 times (!) the price I would normally pay per meter of light strip. I will put this experience behind me as a big lesson and next time will order a mountain of lights from Asia to be sure I have enough for any situation. Now let's not talk about it ever again.Instead here's a little sneak-peak of the mural I have prepared for tomorrow's exhibition opening. I am so happy I got to finally experience drawing on walls and I love it! If I could I'd do just that all day long: drawing on walls, on paper, on everything that crosses my path!!The wall drawing took me about 7 hours to finish and used up the entire marker nib along with several ink re-fills. But that's okay because when looking for the perfect tool for the job I discovered the amazing company called Molotow that makes refillable markers with inter-changeable and replaceable tips. They have the right attitude toward sustainability and a great product range so I am happy to give them a big shout-out.I'll post more photos of the drawing process as soon as the major running around and preparations are done with!
