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??

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

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?

As a New Yorker I have just one question. Where's the antenna on the world trade building?

Maybe it's the pre-1978 NY skyline!

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

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

Did you draw the nyc skyline yourself or print a template?

There is one stripe for each of the children from Eight is Enough and one star for each of Donald Trump's toes.
