New start. Blank slate. Fresh wood.
Month 8, Day 30
So another month has come and gone, only 30 days in November. It's been another crazy month for me, one that has ended without me not being where I had hoped to be with this monthly piece. I have to say this has been the most challenging in the most unexpected ways. I really do think you learn more from failure than you do from success but success feels much better than failure but perhaps it does less for your character. I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to revise all 12 of these pieces once the year is over it just may take on an unexpected form. Thanks for your patience.
Month 8, Day 29
Juggling a few things, studio is a wreck, fighting off germs, behind on emails but I managed to get in a pretty full day. I need to set aside some cleanup time but not for a few days yet.
Month 8, Day 28
Trying to work when your sick is hard. Pretty sure I have the flu. As usual I spend the first few day trying to figure out what's going on and being mad at myself for not being more productive then before it dawns on me.
Month 8, Day 27
Moving along.
Month 8, Day 36
First full day in the studio in over a week. I missed a few days du to post project crash and a cold. Felt good to get a bit of work done around here.
Month 8, Day 23
Sometimes spray paint does what you want it to, sometimes it does what it want to.
Month 8, Day 22
Progress.
Month 8, Day 21
Feeling particularly appreciative of the manageable scale of this piece at the moment.
Month 8, Day 20
Line work.
Month 8, Day 19
It's taken me a while to learn to not despise small, even tiny steps in the right direction. Big things get done on the back of tiny steps. It takes patience to see it through but that is really how it works.
Month 8, Day 18
My days have been pretty full, by the time I get back in the studio I don't have too much juice left but that is the challenge of it really. Anyway... moving along.
Month 8, Day 17
Back at the lab making a few moves.
Month 8, Day 16
I actually worked on this earlier this morning but just no getting around to posting anything.
Month 8, Day 15
Just a bit in on this before I crash.
Month 8, Day 14
Back in the lab. I'll be putting in some pretty regular hours on site on a mural project for the next week or so, so in all honestly I'm squeezing studio time in. Not ideal but I can't recall many, if any, ideal circumstances I've dealt without th lately.
Month 8, Day 13
I pretty much work every day. I try to take one day off a week but it doesn't always workout all that well. I'm not complaining it's just what has become my reality as of late. Taking on commission work is great but I have to find a way to still get in my studio work without feeling like it's an afterthought. New heights new fights.
Month 8 Day 12
Working.
Month 8, Day 11
Chipping away.
Month 8, Day 10
Next moves.
