Paints

When I began painting I was restless, unemployed, living in my car and feeling sorry for myself. But I had this desire to paint and I ignored it for a few days then I went to a store to buy paints and realized a tube of paint cost more than a tank of gas which I had very little of as well. Needless to say I left the store empty handed on the way home I noticed several paint cans on the side of the road, all I could do was smile at how the universe works. I picked up those cans and here we are today. I never took an art class and I never paid for paint.
When people find out how I obtained my paints they offer to give me there paint(s) because they really don't want to throw it away, I gladly accept it.
IF YOU HAVE EXTRA PAINT DON'T THROW IT AWAY....CONTACT ME I WANT IT.

Flat Cardboard and boxes

If you have too much card board call me I can pick it up in most cases. I'm always using boxes, flat boards, tiles, drywall scraps, boards. As long as it's clean I can probably use it. All of the artwork on this website was painted on items rescued from the trash. We also ship so all sized boxes are always welcomed.

Aluminum Cans

I know resourcefulness is a way of life for Insomnia Blues but we have expenses too and when we don't sell anything for months at a time. We collect and recycle cans, computers, and scrap metal to stay a float and the hardest part of collecting is knowing where to go. I will provide collection containers and pick up service for the donatation of aluminum cans, computers and scrap metal.
