Really Pleased With How This Painting Turned Out!
The area over my desk always felt so empty, and so I decided to put a painting there. Problem: I couldn’t decide which one, and I didn’t have the money to buy a proper one. So, I ended up doing one myself, and what would possibly be better than my logo? The colors match my setup really well, and I love the minimalistic design.
In case you’re wondering how I did this, here’s a step-by-step tutorial:
- I painted the whole canvas white as a base coat.
- I printed out my logo and stuck some double-sided tape on the back.
- I carefully cut out the logo, and then peeled off the plastic over the tape.
- I stuck it onto the canvas.
- I went over the entire canvas with blue paint multiple times to get good coverage.
- Then I peeled off the paper, and fixed the spots were some paint had found it’s way underneath it.
Take a look at this gallery for some more shots:
So, hope you guys like this one as much as I do ;) It’s only my second painting on a canvas - turned out way better than I expected!

One day when I have enough money I’d love to build a setup similar to yours. I have couple friends who use led lights for decoration and they are really cool!
But right now in my current situation I’m stuck with this. Putting random stuff on the table just so it isn’t empty lol.
Looks nice! Is that a Logitech G510 keyboard?
What are the specs?
