Promised Pics of Painted Vintage Radio - Contemporary Aquarium Stand

  Good morning! How are you on this unseasonably warm day?
I promised you pics, and here they are.
  My newest adventure, in art, has been to airbrush contemporary painting on vintage and antique furniture... Yep, the transformation is astounding- but there isn't an old pic of the old radio to show you, yet.... I'm still searching.
  This was so fun and turned out so well, I think I will offer this as a service. Send me your furniture or order something, before my prices go up- I have half a dozen old radios that could easily be transformed (ok, not easily, but would look great).
  This is a vintage radio that had two speakers in the bottom, covered by an old metal grate and crusty brown fabric. It was a yucky light brown and so it was sanded, primered, painted, then I airbrushed it.Yes, I know the handles are crooked (I noticed after I loaded the pics), they will be updated and these were just stuck in there for your viewing pleasure.
  The transformation happened within a 48 hour span, I won't tell you  how much of that time was spent airbrushing it, but let's just say it was a considerable amount of the whole project. ;)
