There should be a title here...

Usually do this in my Myspace blog...signed up here to make a comment on a friends blog...figured I may as well make use of it...as the name suggests I dont really have a standard blog...I just post random bits from my day...or week...or whatever...sometimes I'll post links or pictures referencing some project or the other I'm working on....



It's Wendsday night...I'm in the Baymont Inn, Layfaette La...Get to go home tomorrow....been struggling thru being sick...sinus headcold...general yuck...both my best friends have had a couple of crappy days...sucks being powerless to help...even being consilitory just feels lame...if it's not one thing it seems...it's another...on the upside tho...got some good financial news today...if things hold out December/Christmas will be less stressful than usual...works been really busy...looks to be even busier...it just occurs to me that I should beable to order my casting supplies in just a couple of weeks...I hope to have all three of my prototype figures ready for casting by years end...for anyone new that reads this...heres the first figure...

not to everyones tastes...but I'm enjoying the work...I've mentioned before that I havent decided on a name for the figures yet...or a domain name to attempt to sell them thru...working on a simple baggie packaging design...
You'll notice I dont have much to post about...besides my kids and my job...my attempts at art are all I really have...dont mean that in any down or depressing way...it's just how it is...
Anyway...not gonna get into personal stuff to much tonight...so I'll bid ya'll farewell for now...peace out..
