Progress you say! Excuses might be all I have at the moment, so I'll show you some past progress.
There are things happening in the studio at the moment. Yes, that does mean new artwork, but I'm not going to spoil all of the fun now am I?
However, here comes the excuse. My main workhorse of a computer started having issues a couple of weeks back. I burnt a serious amount of time trying to track down the issue. In the end, I had to give up and haul out my trusty travel laptop, a beast of machine that has often given me neck and shoulder issues after being on the road with it. But, it also had some issues to sort out. Finally that was all brought into order last week, but, it is now showing its age and I'm spending way too much time waiting on it.
So, let's use up some more time searching online for a new laptop. I could ramble more about this, but I won't bore you with it. In short, given some recent and decent artwork sales, I'll be able to upgrade to something with real grunt. I will even put the old desktop workhorse to shame.
What does this all mean? Less time waiting on computers and more time for artwork. And... I'm planning to create a few more art videos. I'm fascinated with vlogging as I have a background in media and video production. I would like to improve with my moving picture story telling. A new beastly laptop will handle my video editing requirements with ease. So again, less time waiting for computers.
I shudder to think how much of my life I have spent, waiting for computers. This is one of the reasons I said goodbye to digital work and committed myself full time to artwork.
Yes there is waiting and process with traditional artwork, but it is a craft that relies upon you, you're directly involved in that process. There's no progress bar to stare at.
So, yes, I'm on the eve of new progress.
If you didn't figure it out, the last image in the montage above IS the final painting. Here's the original post, "On the Eve".
