Dear friends of our family... well, their son decided to go and break his arm so that he could have a cool cast... who am I do deny him on that train of thought!
;)

I did this over hte couse of an afternoon. It took about 3 hours to mask, draw, cut and spray. Lemme tell you, cutting multiple layers of tape on a frikken fiberglass cast is a MAJOR pain in the a$$!!!

I was pretty happy, and so was he. He's gotten some comments on it at his school. I think he will be the *only* kid to have a custom arm cast! ;)

All things that I can do to help a kid be a kid... *grin*

Enjoy!

Color choice was his. It ended up coming out a bit more than the ghost flames we were envisioning, but pretty damn cool none the less.

Looks cool. The Canadian Club box in the background brings back fond memories also.

I believe that should be "memories" and not ... memories...

The quotes add the needed emphasis... ;)

Wow. What's the quickest way to break an arm, and are you busy next week TD?

Hope kids don't start breaking their arms now and start showing up at your door step. That would be one painful fad you just created.:p

He did not want yellow. I wanted to go with something that was more contrast, but he wanted more of a ghost flame effect... His cast... who am I to impose my will! ;)

And yeah, Rob, you go break something and come see me.... I'll hook ya up!

I seriously considered putting together business cards and brochures. There seems to be a steady stream of peeps breaking their appendages... why not make them more appealing? :D
