A portion of my initialization class, the part that handles the drawing.

	EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                introGui.setEnabled(false);
                introGui.setVisible(false);

                mainGui = new MainGui();
                mainGui.setVisible(true);
                mainGui.login();

                drawPanel = mainGui.getDrawPanel();
            }
        });

		while(true) {
			if (mainGui != null) {
				drawPanel.repaint();
			}
		}
