    1. omg your uncle was lowkey stylish! those overalls with the shaggy hair is such a look, wish more guys would dress like this today.

    2. those lines look clean as hell. that must’ve taken a considerable amount of work. i’m impressed. obviously it’s not the look i would go for but i can’t deny how good it looks

    3. And this is how HOA’s got started. The squares weren’t hip enough and had to put a stop to it before it corrupted the kids.

    4. I’m not even kidding when I say that I love this. I adore when people do whatever off the wall artsy shit they want with their homes. HOAs be damned. Someday I’ll own a house and do something similar.

      My first thought was that I would zoom in to see Bernie Sanders. You just know he would have done that paint job to his house.

      I mixed paint at Home Depot in college, and my favorite customer was this feral ass lawyer who’d come in asking for the craziest colors. He was in his late 50s or early 60s- probably retired, and chatty and opinionated as a mother fucker. One day, he comes in particularly heated, saying he’s taking shit to the next level, so mixed him like 80 gallons of random paint. While I was busy with that, he was busy going on a massive tirade on how he’s going to war with his HOA. Apparently, his neighbors didn’t like the mural he painted on his shed, so they complained, so he decided he’s going to paint every inch of his house however the fuck he wanted, and was going to drown them in legal fees if they tried to file a lawsuit. While they had to pay a lawyer an arm and a leg to lift a finger, he was just going to represent himself. Gave me a very strong “I’m going to eat every fucking chicken in this room” vibe. Hope he’s doing well.

      Giving me MAJOR vibes of Mr. Plumbean from “The Big Orange Splot” children’s book.

      “My house is me and I am it. My house is where I like to be and it looks like all my dreams”.
