Perks of dating a painter

Betcha there's some kind of market for art works of musicians' instruments.

That's what we're hoping. She recently left her day job to pursue painting full time. Because she also happens to be an amazing photographer, she is going to start offering photo shoots and/or oil paintings of instruments.

And get this: A buddy of mine recently decided that he wants a replica of Clapton's "The Fool" SG, so her next "canvas" is going to be a Gibson '61 reissue! She just got it from him and is beginning the process in the next few weeks. It's a grand experiment, and if it goes well, she's going to start offering custom artwork OF instruments and ON instruments.
