After successfully making Subway Art on Canvas I decided to try cork board. A few months back I picked up a framed cork board at a garage sale for a couple dollars but never really knew what I would do with it until now! I spraypainted it black and found it would fit perfectly by our basement back door which leads to our back yard. I came up with a list of rules specific to our back yard and my boys' needs and went designing. I did each line in a different font, laid out the rules in alphabetical order and used white vinyl to complete the sign. I did not spray any gloss or seal over the final product so I could easily remove a "rule" as the boys outgrew them and may need different rules down the road. If this was displayed outside then I would have used some sort of acrylic spray to seal and protect the letters. Here is my finished product!

Subway Art with Canvas
After seeing many different types of Subway Art either sent to me by friends or viewing other people's blogs I decided to try it out. I bought 2 canvases - painted them the same yellow that is on another wall in our family room and dedicted the 2 pieces of art to my 2 boys. The first canvas describes my oldest son, Brady, all of his characteristics, his Birthday, places he lived, favorite hobbies, etc....
The second Subway Art is of my 2nd boy, Kevin.
And here is our finished wall that has been bare since we moved into the house over a year ago!
