Here's the 1" x 6" x 4' pine boards nailed together
The wood stain that I used
Also I beat it a few times with some chains, a hammer and some nails to make it look distressed
Finished the stain
Look at those dents
The chains won
I then took so white paint to begin the first part of the painting
Starting to look a little flag like
OMG 'Merica
I cut the stars out of painters tape
Taped out the outline of NYC pre 9/11
Finally sprayed it with some black spray paint
The final product

When did we agree to stop putting the finished product first??

Looks great. Art isn't meant to be loved by everyone. That's what makes art pieces great.

This is a disturbingly dark look at what you think patriotism is. Always living in the shadow of a country that no longer exists. Trump?
z3lfmoord
Sucks.

Love it. Love the subtle 9 stripes 11 stars +1

As a Canadian I liked it just as a flag looks better with out the towers

Unlike other's, im more worried about the mi'splaced apostrophe than the NY s'ilhouette

That's really nice.

Whoever said "These colors don't run" clearly hadn't seen this

"OMG Merica." The priceless moment when you see it coming together.

And stained it why?

Holy shit 'with chains?' I usually just stick to Jergen's, or petroleum jelly on cold nights.

You should have painted a Union Jack on the back and presented it like that, then been like "nah jk" and flipped it over lol
tampabay1990
That is very nice good job

So... what's going on with those Twin Towers...?
BaelTheBard
8 stripes and 10 stars? What country is it you are coming from?

As a New Yorker I have just one question. Where's the antenna on the world trade building?
Douglas747Tristar
Maybe it's the pre-1978 NY skyline!
MikeTornado
You totally ruined it with the ny shiluette.
hblb229
Yup. Was onboard till that point.
DanCutter
Agreed.
MyNameIsTaquito
Cold and to the point.
clutchthepearls
Not as much as you ruined the word silhouette.
TheStealthHippopotamus
I'm not going to use the word ruin. But it wasn't an improvement
VajrapaniP
Eh.
EmWatsonLover
I'm surprised you're not getting downvoted but you're so right. Looks ugly as Fuck now
SixHundredThousandBees
I happen to agree.

To each their own, i guess. Personally i liked the skyline addition.
TheIncrediblePirate
Me too
Mathafok3r
Auhm, I don't how to tell you op but...You need more stars and stripes
tigergoroooar
9 stripes if no NY and 11 stars
Zombeavers
And less twin towers...
Da3n
There is one stripe for each of the children from Eight is Enough and one star for each of Donald Trump's toes.
Mathafok3r
oh ok, thanks that makes sense
jimmythejedi

TheRealKhy

SatanHerself
Did you draw the nyc skyline yourself or print a template?
Igotagnomecrush
I just free handed it with some tape
SatanHerself
That's impressive! Looks great
