Making Money on the road (from TRASH) for almost NOTHING (time lapse

A lot of people often ask how I make ends meet aside from all the tiny house stuff (books, builds, cabin designs, cabin plans, and all that). Well, this is one fun way (out of about 30 others- I have A.D.D. big time). In this video I talk about one of my side passions (salvage and thrift shop flipping) ....and much in the way of the show "Flea Market Flip", I purchase low cost prints, art paintings, and "wine night" canvases, and repaint them with my own original work. I often find these paintings on the side of the road for free too- VERY frequently to be honest. Most of it (the art) is done in a pretty wild pop art or graffiti outsider style, but I occasionally do some more realistic pieces. Mainly, I'm trying to impart the idea that you don't necessarily need to buy expensive supplies and canvases to create and sell art- I've sold hundreds of pieces this way over the last decade. Also, for the tiny house folks in the audience, if you approached this idea with small canvases, it could certainly be a creative way to make money from the road without worrying about having to store much before these pieces went to market or sold. I call it "thinking outside the box money making". You'll see what I create in a time lapse in one part of this video. Thanks for watching!

Have enjoyed watching your channel over the years. Love your creativity. This one turned out great.

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

I appreciate that- have a great holiday!

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Not the usual fare, but its certainly related to salvage and reuse- which I'm pretty obsessed with....

[@chezmoi42]

Punk space bird! Gotta love your sense of design and your sense of humor. And your steady hand - those framing lines! What kind of clean life do you live?

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

@@chezmoi42 My wife says I'm anything but clean.... ;) No, thanks for the kind words.

[@grdelawter4266]

I don’t know anyone that does anything like that because I don’t know anyone that has as much talent as you have and just your little finger! This work was 2/3 done before I thought it look like anything but trash, now I’d buy it for 100 bucks

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Thanks so much! These are fun and often pay the bills, or occasionally through networking lead to other gigs/art jobs, which is always fun.

[@jfederle1872]

Super cool! Great video🌺

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Thanks so much!

[@keenowl1410]

That's awesome

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Thanks so much!

[@philiater1]

Love this. Have you heard of Boss Brown Art? I have a few of their early clocks, but they do some repurposed art similar to yours.

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

No- is that a channel? I'll have to look it up. Always love seeing that stuff- thanks!

[@ActionJackson321]

I like it :)

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Thank ya- always my LEAST successful videos on this channel, but I still love doing them....

The best spray paint is always the cheapest spray paint 😉 Years ago I was at Walmart and they were liquidating some Krylon for really cheap, so I got a bunch of colors. BTW, do you have tips for salvaging paint that are in gallons that rusted-out from the inside?

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Rusted cans- I just drain out what I can- if the lid is too crusty and risks dropping too much debris in the paint I'll punch or drill a hole and empty what is left from the underside. Btw, a good many of the spray cans I use are from recycling collections (stuff being thrown out)- the price is right!

This painting SOLD btw....
