I feel like I am fuzed to the bed.  Reading and learning French.  Sorting out music, files, backups.  Catching up on emails, posts, and thoughts.  I posted all the 35mm Montreal pictures :

We have decided to officially host Game Night here on Saturdays at 6pm.  You are all invited.  I want to start having other things here like meditation, wheel throwing, glazing, etc.  I feel like we have so much space and equipment that it would be a shame to not open it up to friends.

I have been thinking about scales lately.  Models.  When in Montreal there were three different pieces that were works on model scale.  I couldn’t take pictures of two, but I thought it interesting that it was at three different museums.  Also, since we got the train set (!) I have been trying to think of how to make a cohesive environment for the tracks to be laid.  Now that we have a kiln I can actualize some of what I was intrigued by.

I’ve also been thinking about madness, magicians, carnivals, and hospitals.  Looking at that typed out made me think, ‘things really haven’t changed.’  But the difference is that I am not just working as a reactor and loosely manipulating what I already know of these subjects and placing them in charicatures on a paper or canvas.  I want to do the research justice.  I have found that if I am going to make it a cartoon, then instead of making 300 little vomitous representations I will sit and think before I execute.  It has been a hard habit to break, but I think I have finally reached the point where I am not just reacting (where the worth is defined by the amount and suffering).  And the comic is still going to be a reality.  Keep an eye out for news on its release.  I don’t have a name yet, maybe I will suffer through that.
