So I'm at Downtown Disney last week, and this chick wants her entire name painted out of villans. I tell her I can do a single letter name, but not the whole thing. This chick is being hardcore, and insists that I can, even though I explain time after time how unique the artform is, making it tough to pull new characters out of thin air without practice, plus I don't have the photo reference to remember what they all look like... sooooo.... "Which villain would you like for your single letter illumination?" She still wants the whole thing... with as many villains as I can. Okay, that's a little more fair. Then she starts telling me which ones HAVE to be in there. I remind her, I'll do my best, but I am making NO guarantees. So they pay, and she sits nearby to wait. (Oh yeah, they're also on a time crunch.) As I dig under the booth for a fresh piece of paper, I see a book: "The Complete Guide to the Disney Villains".
No. Freakin. Way.
And voila!






Her boyfriend watched me paint the whole thing while she sat nearby to wait. (She wanted it this bad, and yet was too lazy to watch?) So we pulled this old classic:

"Oh no! I can't believe I did that! What was I thinking?"
"Is there any way you can turn that 'B' into an 'H'?"
"I wish there was.... can you guys give me like 30 more minutes?"
"I... I guess we're gonna have to, huh?"

Yeah, she totally fell for it. But she loved the art and was really cool after that. And of course, it got matted and framed.

PS: Can you spot the Disney nerd insert?
ANSWER:
1- there are three sunsets (Ursula's curse- and yes, it was intended BEFORE I started)
