(painting) Paul The One Eyed Pants Monster

So the other day I was opening a fresh jar of gesso to get a canvas ready, but the lid was on really tight. I braced the jar against my leg and gave the lid a hell of a twist. BLAMO the lid was off but a dollop of the white primer had landed on my shorts. I quickly cleaned as much off of my shorts as I could, but was left with an unfortunate stain.
To be honest it looked as if I had been having some alone time and had accidentally missed my tissue. This wasn't good. They were my only shorts and it was getting hotter by the day. "Why don't you just buy another pair of shorts?" one might ask. and the answer is five simple words; rents due on the 1st. so with my money tied up and my next paycheck still a week away i decided to fix my problem creatively.

I had been given acrylic paint markers for Christmas and hadn't really had a chance to use them. I packaged the markets into a plastic bag and brought them to work, something I couldn't really do with regular paints. When the food orders slowed down and the dishes were all caught up I broke out the markers and began to paint. When all was said and done there was a one eyed monster on my pants. I've named him Paul.
