The irony of the cigarette being

name, Picasso’s life story, that sort of thing. I was thoroughly bored until perhaps a couple weeks into the semester, where things really started to get interesting. I had made extra money that week, and I had been entranced by the array of colorful paints in the craft store over the weekend. I ended up purchasing a several basic colors, a few brushes, and a two pack of 11 by 14 inch canvases. Monday, I brought them to class.

creating a uniform surface so that your asphalt surface is as impervious as a new one. In contrast, paint doesn't bond like seal coating.

Pausing, I remember that my art teacher had, in fact, prepared me for this. I just need to “go with it.” After a tense moment, I curve my brush to shape the smear into a solid line.
