That's flippin' sweet! Does she just paint whatever she feels like or can for ask for color schemes or themes? Because all of her stuff does have a very specific style.cheesecats wrote:funny you should mention. laura just sent me a photo of a pedal she just did for someone. you can find her on facebook and message her--i'm certain she'd be happy to work with you.wfs1234 wrote: Has anyone here ever tried to get Laura Bennet to paint anything?
Unfortunately I don't know anyone... And I think I'd want the opposite kind of dipfriendship wrote:also cool (much cooler, in my opinion) would be getting a good artist you personally know to paint it. I bet you know one.

I don't think I'm crafty enough for that. Have you done any of that? Because it sounds awesome!Decibill wrote:Find some pics on the web of designs you like....Go to Michaels, get some paint markers and get inspired...!! If you don't like it you can just sand it off...And theres another idea--get a Dremel and etch some abstract patterns. Then apply and wipe-off paint marker over that....So many possibilities.
I've built pedals, guitars, speaker cabs, keytars, snare drums....you name it, I've probably tried it. The first hurdle is to say you are gonna do it. After that, the next big hurdle is making a plan. It's all just "could be" and "maybe it will happen" until you make the plan. Sketch out some ideas on paper, decide on colors and making a shopping list. Then commit to it by buying your supplies and reviewing your plan---are there layers and an order that the paint needs to be applied in.....? It's all up to you. Fuck it up, learn from it and start again....It's all part of the process. Its low risk, low cost, high reward stuff...!!!
