Behold the colorful monstrosity that is children’s book illustrator Will Terry’s paint palette. He explains:

This mound you see before you is constructed out of all of the acrylic paint I’ve used since 1990! It started out as my friend Carl Wayne’s masonite oil pallet which he thought was too big so he cut his in half and tossed it (the piece you see) in the trash. Way back then it was just a flat piece of 1/4 inch board but when I pulled it out of the trash and started using it as my acrylic pallet it began to grow.
