I was recently asked to help with a project which isn't my typical line of work. I've painted rooms, houses, fences and gates. But, this was the first time I was asked if I could paint the mat to a boxing ring. A sponsors name had been painted on the mat at one time but had since become quite worn.
I decided to free hand it, as it would be difficult to get accurate masking to stick to this canvas, if possible at all. So using an interior acrylic latex paint and a 2 inch purdy, natural hair paint brush I restored the lettering as best i could.
I also painted sponsors names on the corner pads. The mat and pads were to be used in a professional boxing match, March 22, 2012. Bad news is, I don't think I can make it to the match. Good news is, my work will be on television.
