Sooo...
Rant for my own sanity.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I'm pretty much having a panic attack right now. The industry has been slow, for like the last the four years. I've been fortunate to have pretty much sailed through the recession without missing much for work. In fact we've prospered quite well.... up until this year. Just as the industry is rumoured to be heating up, I'm experiencing a lull. A lull! That's a mild way of stating that I'm close to losing everything and I'm freaking the fuck out.

Why is it that everything always seems to be riding on my shoulders? I have so many people depending on the income I bring in. I knew I would have December off. It was a nice holiday. I wasn't panicked. I had saved up for it and i was prepared. I got a job in early January and things were pretty much right back on track, but then, like they always do, the company hired too many people, and they had to lay off. Luck of the draw? I didn't kiss enough ass? But they don't lay me off, they ask me if I will take two weeks off. Two weeks turned into a month. Now add another week. We're running on fumes here. The money I owe is adding up so fast I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to pay my way out!



I've just spent my second month at home. It's hard to truly be productive with my time when I am making every effort to no spend any money. However I'm pretty happy with myself for working on two paintings. The problem is, I only seem to take on enormous projects. Namely a 48" x 36" canvas. I'm happy to have finished one project in December, that I started nearly two years prior.

Walk in The Woods

Now I've sort of surprised myself by starting another even more ambitious project. I won't post an pictures yet, but I've chosen to recreate a 256 colour image that was 150 x 95 pixels, adding up to over 14000 individual pixels, on another 48" x 36" canvas. Each pixel will be 1/4" across. I'm roughly 1/3 of the way done, and I just want to say. This was a completely retarded endeavor. This could seriously take me 100hrs or better.

Oh, I'm not done yet though, I have at least three more heavy duty projects on the books, not the least of which includes renovations to my house (once I get working again), the rebuilding of a vintage snowmobile, and my newest obsession.... laser pistols.

I have been a huge fan of Harrison Krix of Volpin Props for several years now. His recreations of video games finest arsenals has been outstandingly superb, and after scouring eBay, I've come to the conclusion, that if I want laser pistols, I am going to have to make them.
