| "... i did a painting of Mother Theresa on some plywood and it turned out
really nice... so i looked for a piece of wood to do a painting on and
take around with me. i found this wooden door i liked that had been
sitting in my friend Jason Painters garage for about two and a half
years... thats how the journey of the door began...
"
January 25th - 27th
Keith set up outside the lobby of the Federal Building
in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA... it was kinda funny getting started
because the painting starts with stick figures and smiley faces(see
attachments to see image of the door)...and all these FBI agents going in
and out of the building are looking at me like im some kind of freak cuz
im painting stick figures on a wooden door outside the lobby....ok,
that is odd, but they(FBI) were
smiling....by the second day, the painting style had reached a point
where people were giving compliments and thanking me for being there.
