Chaboo Artist- Jennifer Mercede, Chris Haberman
Last week artists started coming by my shop to pick up their chaboos. I had made ten and now I only have 2 left.

Jennifer Mercede and her friend Chris Haberman were the first to pick up and got the best selection. They often collaborate on large scale murals around town where their styles really compliment each other. As you can see, their work is amazing! Jennifer had several ideas for what to do so I gave her two chaboos. Her work has a youthful exuberance that will add alot of energy to this project.

One concern of mine is that the artists will be hesitant because they are not used to this medium. Jennifer told me its going to be hard for her to hack into such a finished, beautiful piece. I hope this hesitation/intimidation to use a finished piece of furniture does not hinder the artists from being able to release their full creativity. Being able to let go is the critical ingredient for a successful transfer from idea to reality.
