back to the power tools..

That cute little teeny tiny break I had from making shadow boxes has come to an end. Now that I don't work my second job there is no excuse to not make more art and get things in order. I also have a goal to finish my commissions by the end of the month... a good solid reasonable goal.

I spent most of the day outside cutting wood for 21 new boxes - 11 of them are already accounted for but the rest will make their debut on Etsy. Making these boxes is tedious and mind numbing at times. A positive thing that happened was that I took my housemates suggestion and moved my space heater to the studio space (the cold garage). I was toasty warm while I drilled, hammered, and painted.

The only hiccup I came across was the fact that I don't have enough backs to the frames. I need to call my buddy Trev who cuts large sheets of wood for me.

I also have been busy working on my collaborations. I have been really into using canvas.. in the past I have been into wood but I think it's important to open yourself up to new mediums.. pictures to come.
