Delays..

Oh man, I didn't realize it's been almost 3 months since I last updated. I'm taking a break from the painting, which I do love working on, until the summer semester kicks in gear. Acrylic paint by nature dries very quickly, and a single phone call is enough to interrupt a delicate gradient in progress. It gets frustrating and I don't want to be bitter at the person calling me or at my job in general. So I need to wait till things slow down in the summer.

In the meantime, I can promise that I have not forgotten the arts, and in fact I have been working on something really really cool, something I haven't tried before. I'll wait till it's closer to being finished before putting anything up, but I will say it involves epoxy, hardware, a firing gun, linoleum, hematite beads, and probably an airbrush. What the hell, indeed.

Here's a little sketch I did a while back just to prove I haven't been totally slacking. It's a simple drawing based off of a ring-tailed snake. These are tiny little snakes that display a brightly colored underbelly when started instead of biting or rattling. Neat things.
