Studio!
 Finally got the studio set up!  Wanna see?   I also found this! My artin bag from like, 10 years ago. I thought I was sooo hardcore! But the pins do make a cool found-object collage of sorts. Ok, so the Obama pins are relatively new. And I’m not gonna lie, I still listen to most of those bands because the line between hardcore motherfucker and big-big nerd is kinda thin...

Boredom at Work
 So the other day our floor strip guys came in and I was caught unprepared. 2.5 hours trapped behind the counter with most of my work already done. Luckily I had a few pages from that day’s News and Observer, a pair of scissors, and some scotch tape handy. So this happened:  It was a good way to kill 20 minutes.  Also it was therapeutic as I still don’t have access to my art...

The Good News
 I was about 3/4 done with a charcoal portrait of Albert Camus, the existentialist philosopher at the time of the packin and movin. I’m happy he arrived unscathed (he wasn’t spray fixed). Hopefully, by the end of this week I can get into my art stuff and finish him off.  … I fixed his eyes after this photo, but riiiight before packing. I couldn’t let them stay that way.

The Previous Occupants
 So we’re in our new place which is a foreclosed property in a relatively normal suburban housing development in the middle of Rapeville, NC (at night, I swear I can hear banjos still a-pluckin’). Story about the previous family that lived here goes: Wife and kids left dad due to alcoholism - dad proceeded to let the house go to hell - bank takes property away - we buy property...

Okay, For Real This Time...
 Ok, so this time I’m actually moving. Time to pack up my toys and try to expedite the process of setting up my new studio space so I can get back to making things daily.  Imma miss these guys.  *sniffle*

Pages From Sketchbooks IV
 - I get bored at work during the last 5 to 10 min before I close shop. This remained behind the counter as evidence.  - One of the first collages I ever made. Aw, look at the air bubbles and the shaky cutting. :op

Hello New Followers
 And thanks everyone for checkin me out, hitting the like button, reblogging me, and/or leavin a comment or two.  Makes me feel all squishy. Like a pureed jellyfish.  In all seriousness though, it has definitely shown me that there was no better place for my art blog than tumblr. I know people who put their stuff up on blogspot or elsewhere and it hardly gets noticed. It just sorta says...
