of these skis were all bashed-up. My brother fixed the ends
and primed them. Instead of simply repainting the original
boring design, I added something with a little more kick.

painted during a rough time in my life...I prefer to leave
the interpretation of the painting up to the viewer, since
it can mean so many things to so many people...so, I will
withhold my story behind the painting.

this is my first attempt at painting a computer case. This
one is an old 486 case that measures a whopping 26"
high x 7.5" wide x 16.5" deep. The sides and top
feature Star Wars themes while the front features chrome
flames, wild tribal pattern and water droplets. The base
is a metallic red with subtle metallic orange flames along
the sides and part of the tribal pattern on the front and
back.
You might think this is an odd combination of colours, styles
and themes. That's because it was my first attempt at a
computer case plus I want to use the opportunity to experiment
with different designs,
themes, etc.
I also have small holes drilled on the side that will have
fibre optics placed in them. The fibre optics will them
be connected to the hard drive light so as the hard drive
turns, star will flash in the night sky.
