- Hello and welcome to another episode of, you guessed it,
the shirtless painter.
Anyone can paint and anyone can paint anything.
And today you're joining me on a very special day,
it's music day here at the shirtless painter.
So I'm gonna be painting a very special, one of a kind,
iconic album cover using this Whitney Houston
self titled album as a base.
And don't worry, I have two copies at home,
which is why I'm willing to part with one.
This one has some scratches on it.
So all you Whitney heads out there,
don't think I would waste a perfectly good Whitney album.
Which I never would.
OK great so the first thing we're gonna do,
as much as it pains me to do.
We're gonna go ahead and sort of get rid of Whitney here.
But she'll live on in our hearts.
So just go ahead and start laying down a nice base.
And we'll be flashing some of the colors we're using
on screen so feel free to take off your shirt
and follow along at home, if you're so inclined.
Alright look at that.
Now Whitney Houston always said I wanna dance with somebody
but today I'm saying I wanna paint with somebody
and that somebody is you.
♫ And I will always paint with you.
That's a promise.
There's not a lot that's certain in this world
and these times but one thing you can rest assured
knowing is that I will always paint with you.
OK so just go ahead and sorta cross out your Whitney
or whatever album you're working with.
Could be Kenny Rogers' Christmas album.
Could be classical, could even be Miles Davis jazz.
OK so just sorta get a good,
good steady coat under there, over there excuse me.
I'm not wearing a coat but I like to apply a coat,
a coat of paint that is.
OK great so,
just really fill it in there.
Have some fun with it.
I'm going for white to just really give it the feel
of a sort of blank canvas.
But as you can see, anything can be a canvas,
and any color can be a base.
Purple,
white or purple, let's stick with white or purple,
just to keep it simple.
But if push comes to shove you can truly do
whatever you please.
OK so it might slide around a little bit
'cause it is a record album and not a canvas
so that is normal but just have fun with it.
Pretend it's a little ride or a little sort of,
remember those shake shacks that you would stand in?
Not the restaurant but the carnival ride
where you would stand in it
and it would kind of shake around?
Well this is the painting version of that.
Woooaaahhh, just kidding.
Just kidding.
I normally don't jostle my paintings,
but what the heck it's a rock and roll music episode
so we're gonna have some fun.
So just go ahead and fill in the lower corners
of your Whitney album,
or Kenny Rogers or whatever you're working with.
And perfect, look at that.
Just go across, to smooth out those seams there.
I'd say that's a pretty good base.
OK so we're gonna go ahead and I think you could come up
with any sort of genre of music that you please.
I think in keeping with you know,
this album was released in the mid '80s
so I'm gonna take that time period and go a different way.
This is a little bit mainstream, Whitney Houston.
But I think I'm gonna create an iconic punk album cover
for everyone to enjoy.
So let's go ahead and get our punk brush here.
And I'm just gonna create a band
that I would like to see exist.
And that band is gonna be called,
The Sleepy Punx.
So just again your band could be anything you want.
Could be a solo artist.
But for me I'm thinking punk baby.
So the nice thing about a punk album and a punk aesthetic
is that it can be kinda crappy and slap dash,
pardon my french.
But it can be kinda crappy.
Although there's no such thing as crappy,
only a pleasant, I would call it a pleasant whoopsy.
One man's craft is another man's favorite album.
Sound it out if you're having trouble spelling.
Of course.
And since, since this is sort of a punk attitude here,
I'm not gonna worry too much about accurate spelling.
In fact I'm gonna go for a little bit of a punk spelling.
By doing an N.
And this is a time saver for all of you people on the go.
Instead of writing out a K and an S,
I'm gonna go ahead and save myself a lot of time,
and just say X.
OK perfect.
Just fill this in a little bit.
Great OK so we've got our main album,
or excuse me band name there.
And then the next thing is some cover art.
OK so I think we're gonna go
for a sort of bare bones sort of xerox copy
black and white punk album cover.
And we're gonna show the band members here.
So I'm gonna go ahead and start
with the first sleepy punk here.
And I'm gonna go ahead and this is gonna be,
I'm not going for any kind of symbolism here.
I'm gonna have these punks be asleep.
So let's go ahead and just make some sleepy eyes.
Maybe they're all tuckered out from a long night
of being in the pit,
or you know just go ahead and give him a green mohawk.
Just sort of you know giving a big F you to the system
and to authority and stuff like that.
So go ahead and give our friend a little mohawk here,
our sleepy friend, he or she is all tuckered out.
And your punks can be any gender,
I mean they don't even have to be punks but it helps.
You don't have to be crazy to paint here but it helps.
Sometimes a little joke I say
to just anyone who will listen.
OK great so we got our punk head and he's all tuckered out.
And just right off the bat,
since of course we can't,
you can hear sound when you play the album,
but you can't hear sound with your eyes looking at the album
but ah ha today you can.
I'm gonna go ahead and just make some z's.
You've heard of catching some z's,
well this is exactly that so you've heard of this.
This old punk is all tuckered out,
he's a sleepy boy, or a girl.
OK so we got the z's.
Now we'll go ahead and give this punk a nice
sort of leather jacket.
We'll have him kinda just maybe sleeping on the street
or in sort of a flop house, sort of a punk house.
Maybe they sleep in the very same place
where they have their shows,
and dumpster dive for lettuce and nuts and things.
So we'll just create a nice sort of leather,
or maybe it's fake leather,
if this punk cares about that sort of thing.
But maybe he just don't care about nothing,
except for sleeping.
And I lost my pallet in a card game this weekend,
so not gonna be mixing any colors.
But I do think that sort of works for the,
stripped down punk aesthetic that we're going for.
So I'm just gonna make my punk's legs here
and punks have notoriously skinny legs.
And you know what, what the heck,
I think this punk needs a little something
to cuddle up with, always sleeping,
so we'll go ahead and give him a teddy bear.
But it'll be a purple teddy bear,
so it'll be sort of you know maybe the teddy bear
dyed its hair, maybe it was sort of a brown color,
teddy bear just dyed its hair.
Maybe it's a real bear, maybe it's a real baby bear,
let's go ahead and just say that it is.
What's more punk than that?
This punk has its little cuddle toy to sleep with.
And we'll just go off and give our little bear a face.
You've heard of the right to bear arms,
well you have the right to paint a bear's face,
and so do I.
I'm gonna go ahead and give the bear some eyes,
and nose and maybe a little mouth.
Maybe just a green sort of belly there.
OK great so we'll so ahead and give the punk
his shit kicker boots.
Stomping boots in case,
you know in case he needs to break anything,
or if some you know skin heads show up to the show,
the bad kind.
OK and sometimes you'll have a fly buzzing around you
and that's OK.
OK great so you got our first sleepy punk.
And we'll say this punk is a boy,
we'll call him Skiz, we'll say his name is Skiz.
So then next I'm gonna go ahead and add,
one of my, the most punk people I've ever met, my wife.
She does her own thing,
she doesn't adhere to society's rules
unless they work for her in which case,
let sleeping dogs lie.
Or should I say, let sleeping punks lie.
OK so I'm gonna go ahead and have,
I'll have my wife just all tuckered out here.
Go ahead and give her the sleepy eyes.
Just draw on some eyelashes there, gorgeous eyelashes.
And of course it wouldn't be my wife without those red lips,
those luscious red lips.
And we'll go ahead and give her,
her signature purple mohawk.
That's one thing that I'm not gonna mess with,
she does have a purple mohawk.
And we'll have this be sort of a straight ahead mohawk.
This one you can see we're sort of showing the perspective,
this one it's just,
mohawk like this, mohawk like that.
So do whatever you want.
Don't let me tell you how perspective works,
because let's face it I'm not an architect.
And I never claim to be.
OK great so I'm gonna go ahead
and make my wife's shirt here.
So I think instead of,
instead of wearing a regular shirt,
let's have her, she went ahead and she sort of repurposed,
sort of a burlap sack that she may have found
in a dumpster or on the street,
or pilfered from some sort of square.
So she'll just be sorta sleeping in a burlap sack.
Great so sacks are really easy to paint.
They're just sort of a blob really.
OK great.
And we'll have her wearing some just signature
black tights here.
Maybe with a little tear in them, I think so,
I think that's appropriate.
So there's her knees.
And other knees.
Great.
And we'll give her some nice green arms.
Which are just sort of rested in her lap there.
'Cause she's all tuckered out.
OK great so we got two of the band members here.
I think we're gonna make this at least a trio or a quartet.
So we've got our little bear friend,
let's go ahead and add another punk to the mix.
OK and you know what, I think,
I think it's,
I think it would be nice to show some,
differently abled punks,
so we're gonna represent one of these punks
being in a wheelchair.
Because you just never see it.
And you should.
Alright so of course we'll have our punk.
We just got sort of our main wheel shape here.
And again this is, feel free to have fun,
this one, everything can look kind of crappy,
and like it's been run over by a car,
and like it was done by, you know, someone's nephew
with sort of a copy machine.
Which I think we're pulling off so far.
And we'll just, yeah look at that.
All tuckered out.
I think this punk is gonna have some blue hair,
maybe some spikes.
I've got plenty of mohawk so let's go ahead
and get some just good old spiky, spiky hair.
Liberty spikes.
Give me liberty or give me, let me paint.
Sometimes I say let me paint or give me death,
that's kind of my mantra.
Just kill me if paint becomes illegal.
It will be over my dead body, I will fight for it.
That's when I get a little bit punk,
when people start to oppress,
little fly friend who's come to join us.
OK so we'll go ahead and get
the rest of our punk's body here.
We'll have this punk's arm just sort of resting there.
And the other arm will go,
the other arm will go here.
Just kinda resting,
on the back of the chair of course.
Alright and go ahead and give this punk some blue jeans.
Maybe these jeans are,
you know sort of, they were found on the street,
or maybe they're designer jeans,
bought by his family because this punk is actually a poser.
But we're not here to judge.
There's no posers on this show.
OK great so I think to prove this,
I think I've slandered this punk's name
by even suggesting that this punk is a poser.
So to prove that this punk is chill and not a nark,
we're gonna go ahead and have him smoking a cigarette.
Just to prove he's cool.
Smoking a cigarette asleep,
so that's pretty dangerous I would say.
I've never met a nark who would smoke a cigarette
awake let alone asleep.
Look at that, still lit.
And like every ice cream sundae,
every cigarette needs a cherry.
I almost wanna taste it but it'll just taste like paint.
OK cherry on your cig, perfect.
OK great so we got our main,
we got our main band members here.
So I think this album is looking pretty good,
but it needs a title.
So let's go ahead and give this baby a title.
And I think since you know in the punk spirit,
we're gonna name this album,
Anarchy.
Just sound it out, this is a tough one.
Anarchy.
Nap, Anarchy Nap.
OK so we'll go ahead and get some more of our purple here.
Alright well I've run out of room here,
but that's OK, screw it,
I don't need the system to tell me how many letters
to put on one line.
So we'll just go ahead and do our own thing,
be ourselves here,
and we'll put the P,
we'll just put it right up here,
right next to the wheelchair.
OK great so I'd say that's a pretty cool punk album
that I'd like to pick up.
I'm gonna take it home,
and I feel confident that the music on this record
will maybe have changed a little bit.
It might still sound like Whitney Houston,
but who's to say.
And if I saw this record in the store,
I wouldn't pay a ton for it.
But I think I would pay at least,
two dollars, I'd say that's worth two bucks,
come out you got two bucks.
Alright thank you so much for joining me
on the Shirtless Painter.
I encourage you to take off your shirt,
raid you or your friend's album collection
and create your own album at home.
I just wanna say (beep) the system,
and keep painting.
See ya next time.
(punk music)
