Back to the Studio

I seem to be having awful difficulty in the studio lately. I tried getting vinyl cut for this piece for a sign makers which resulting in a terribly stressful experience. When I asked for a vinyl cutting and specified the size, the assistant literally cut a piece of vinyl off the roll and handed it to me. When I explained that I wanted a sign cut and gave them my memory stick, they told me that it had a virus. (I really must take a more sexual health attitude with my usb drives and be more careful of whose port i stick these things into.) Neither of the three staff could independently serve me. One was giving me prices, another was relaying file types to me from somebody else in the back. It was so stressful I ended up leaving.

So I tried using spray paint. It worked, but I foolishly tried to touch it up in a spot or two and then proceded to try and fix what I had just fixed. It ended up being a bit of a "Fr Ted dent in the car" sort of a thing.

Tasty Paint

I think I may stay in my studio for too long at times, paint that has dripped to the floor begins to look like drizzled chocolate!

Back to the Studio

I was in the studio for the first time since before Christmas and making things in the studio the first time in a log time. The place was empty and too quiet, I think I was the only person in. It would have been very easy to convince myself to go home again but I stuck with it and mashed up a few maquettes and had a flick through some books. I hope to make these much larger from wood but I realise that I may need to grow another pair of hands first. New year new efforts.

Home is Where the Heart is. Studios are Where you can get Them

A quick look around my current studio/work space. I have a bunch of pictures from my studios down through the years but I am afraid they are not very interesting. Unlike most people (I think) I don't tend to hang up the things that I have made or the things I am referencing, unless I am currently working on them. I did it more so in college, perhaps because it was encouraged. Possibly to make group critiques and tutorials more useful.

It is my method of working, no one comes to my studio so there is no need to engage in the showmanship. (Perhaps that is why no one comes to my studio.)

P.S You can see the racks in the first photo as mentioned here
