Nice! If it's a nasty, cold Winter, you may be looking @ what keeps you sane until spring breakup-what did you use to do the artwork?

Well I start with the wifes cutting board :) she loves that.
I lay down a pencil drawing, layer on a heavy coat of matte acrylic varnish
I use a combination on acrylic and enamel paints.
Then I Varnish the whole thing. Its about a 2-3 day process, while watching the TV.

I used the same basic process on my Flak Bait Jacket seen here
