people walking in and out all day the
weekend I was there was also a mom's
weekend so a bunch of them brought their
moms this is my mom that is the nicest
thing about this entire
building can you paint the entire
building also apparently at these fat
houses if you leave anything up on the
wall it'll just get taken right away
that's why so many of the walls are
painted cuz they can't like hang
anything up it'll get stolen after I had
the base colors of the wave I started
working on the sun oh that's so sick oh
you guys oh swe you you a little
breakfast burrito dude I'm good for now

wave were done I added Kappa Alpha on

beat you in chest can I paint your
house paintt my house like paint your

who's uh willing to let me paint their
dorm or just like an item from your dorm
that you can give me for a couple days
I'll paint it and then give it back to
you like what kind of item could
literally be anything it could be like a
a desk a chair something under a
wall I mean I guess I can find something
could we do it now sure oh oh well great
what's your name uh Mimi Mimi Marco nice
to meet you oh she ended up just taking
us right to our dorm and she said she
had a couple things in mind for me to
paint here's the table if it's too big
I'll find something else smaller it's
kind of big I don't know if you want to
take that what what are the other
options she also gave me the option of
her purse or a laptop cover to paint you
would be fine with me painting that yeah
it's fine I'll do the laptop cover is
that fine yeah it's fine all right cool
thank you oh she's gone I know a laptop
covers a pretty simple item so before I
went all the way back home I wanted to
find another stranger to let me inside
so I can take both items back to the
warehouse and then get started that's
you guys obviously are the reason I'm
here doing this video I also 2 weeks ago
I went to Pennsylvania and I was asking
Amish people to paint their house so
that obviously did not work at all but
this is you know this is my second
option asking college kids this is the
this is option number two you guys
should let me know where you want me to
go next though cuz I think I you know
when you leave the is up to me it
obviously doesn't work out too well
sorry I'm on my way to
class did you live here yeah can I paint
your dorm room uh I don't think so what
about an item from your dorm room I
can't have it be like Furniture cuz like
oh what do you have in there then
otherwise uh any cool stuff do you want
to come see it yeah it's in the tower
let's go I want to see yeah let's see
what it is what's your name Leo Marco
nice nice to meet you this guy ended up
being so nice and he was already on the
way back to his dorm so he just brought
us up with him and showed us around the
whole place we've got some some art up
on the walls too we like all Drew
ourselves this is uh this is kind of
like homey it's homey we've done the
best we can with the space we have it's
pretty tight I don't know if you're
interested ining this but um I do have
it I don't know if it works for what
you're looking for no this is great
where'd you get you sold this no I found
it on the ground and it was uh it was
there and and
uh yeah but I didn't steal it that was
awesome that dude was so cool that guy
was so nice he was like a gave us a full
tour and everything we got the laptop
cover and this sign now I just have to
get to work I guess that guy was awesome
oh okay I got both items right there
it's pretty big he definitely stole it
also he also ended up calling me that
night and telling me what he wanted on
the sign he asked me to do like a comic
book theme with this girl this guy and
then 605 I also thought it was a good
idea to sand off the spot I was going a
paint but it kind of didn't work I'm
using acetone and rubbing it on here to
try to get it off I'm kind of scraping
it once it's soft this is going to take
a long time I ended up spending like an
hour and a half grinding the top of this
thing and then I spent another hour
sanding it so it was smooth and then I
took it outside and spray the whole
thing white okay now it's all white I'm
going to put this thing back up on the
wall and outline all the characters so I
can start filling those in with paint
after I had the outline done and I
started filling in the colors I was kind
of having like second thoughts about the
design I feel like this honestly happens
all the time where I think of something
better while I'm working on something
and then I can never end up liking the
design I'm working on cuz I know there's
like a better option this is all dry so
that's all dry but I kind of realized I
don't like it I ended up just respraying
the whole thing white and then I took it
upstairs and kind of just focused on
getting the sign done I think the
problem with the last one is none of the
things went together like they were all
on the sign but they didn't flow
together my new plan was to make like a
comic strip art and then have all the
things he asked for inside of that I
already love this way better than the
the last one the comic look is so cool
oh I feel so much better I spent the
rest of the night working on it and then
in the morning I finished up all the
little details all the black outlines
and then I started the black borders for
the comic strips this might have been
the best day of my life I love when I
peel off tape and it's like a perfect
line it's honestly the best feeling in
the world oh my gosh that's nice woo oh
my gosh no better feeling in the world
wow wow oh that's nice dude oh my go I'm
just going to go across this with like a
shaky hand so it looks a bit roughed up
once I go across the whole thing then I
can do the clear coat and I'll pretty
much be done this is definitely
something I would hang up in my own room
I honestly love the way it looks it
really has all the things he asked for
it has the comic strip art it has the
girl he asked for it has King DDD it
also has 605 it honestly just looks so
good all that was left to do was to
deliver it okay it's delivery day today
we're going to drive back up to UCSD
deliver this right now I am outside so
whenever you get oh there he is hey
don't look look okay I won't I won don't
even try to peek let's just go up there
I won't I'll take you I'll just follow
up from behind you okay how how you been
I'm good how are you good sorry it took
so
long oh holy [Β __Β ] oh my God that's

better than I thought it wouldest I have
no idea still have a thing this it's
just so cool what is up with what's the
king DDD what's all that like what's
that all mean so we have a bit of a
smash um problem in this house uh where'
you actually get this um I there's a a
lot of construction that happens around
here and often times they like forget to
pick up all the stuff that they left
there when the SES are done after I said
my goodbyes it was time to go back to
the warehouse to work on Mimi's
laptop okay now we have to start the
MacBook cover i b my head so hard I
don't even know this is her is it her
busted MacBook cover I'm just kidding it
did have a crack in it though I asked
her what size her was and I just
reordered the same thing new white so I
don't know if you guys saw in her room
but she had like a bunch of posters up
on the wall I kind of thought it would
be cool to make the laptop cover look
like a poster I feel like it's also the
same shape as a poster and that's kind
of all she had in her room she also
texted me she likes nature and her
favorite color is blue so I kind of
wanted to do a bunch of flowers with
different shades of blue once all the
flowers were done I added a title and a
subtitle kind of like a real poster this
might be one of my favorite things I'm
not going to lie I don't know it looks
cool huh obviously what does it say up
there what I write I wrote blue flower
box because it kind of looks like a
flower that's blue and it's a box and
then I got her name right there Mimi and
at the bottom like a subtitle or
something I put University of California
San Diego pretty cool I think this looks
really good I did like a matte clear
coat once the cover was all done before
I went back to deliver it let me just
explain something cuz it's going to be
confusing if I don't I thought it would
be cool to also buy a real laptop and
headphones and then paint both of those
so I can go back to the school later and
go like in the library and find someone
using the public computer and then also
find someone wearing like wired
headphones and then give them the custom
new thing so before I went back to the
school I also painted the laptop I kind
of just did a simple design that
probably anyone would like and then on
the headphones I also did something
simple I did like a nature Leaf theme
these look awesome these look so cool
laptops all after I had everything done
I packed it all up and went to the
school to look for some people in the
library also if I look awkward and
nervous in these clips it's because I
was I didn't know what to say when I
walked up to these people I also like
had the camera like hidden I like stuck
it between books and the Shelf it just
felt weird but I got the job done excuse
