Description
Welcome to MalMakes! I'm Mallory, but you can call me Mal. I'm a former high school art teacher who now creates YouTube videos! Video games are a big passion of mine, so I'm currently focusing on paintings based on some of my favorite games. This is what I do full-time, so when you buy a poster, bid on an original canvas, or become my patron, you're directly supporting me and helping this content to continue—from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Upload schedule: Video game paintings and art/instructional videos once a month.

Thank you I just got into my first gallery show and needed to learn how to do this it was simple to understand and a huge help

A very good explanation of how to hang a canvas piece. I especially liked the concept of securing the wire to make it look “professional”.

This is exactly the information I was looking for. You explained and demonstrated perfectly.

Hi, this may help but when I attach a wire to my paintings I fasten one end and then slip on about an inch and a half of heat sleeving or tubing over the finished twist. The sleevng is normally just slightly bigger than the wire. Then use a lighter to heat the tubing which causes it to shrink tight onto the wire. Always looks a nice job. Thought it may help.

That's way more instructive than the packing, thank you! If you're looking for game painting ideas, Jet Set Radio Future could be a fun one :)

This is very handy! I have the Nowhere Islands painting propped up on my wall with command strips, but I might wire it!

Thank you Mal, I'm doing this to a large oil painting today. Your clear instructions will help immensely! I also have to package the painting for a plane ride... I'm off to see if you have a tutorial for packaging!
