ORANGE

a three inch fiery skull?

i can hang out with that.
i think i'm getting more comfortable getting looser and easier with these little guys.
when you sit across from the gallery wall,
they look so freakin' great, peeking out between all the frames.
there's not a ton of time to make 'em right now-
i've been busy busy over at AMPERSAND TATTOO,
so the next few days aren't likely to see many little circles of dead headbones
getting produced in any large quantity.
i'll paint some base coats maybe.
in between big appointments and long days of appointments and walk-ins
there's usually five minutes to do somethin' productive on the personal level.
it isn't easy to devote attention to every direction all at once,
and some of the peripheral bits are left fallow for a bit here and there.
i've got things poppin' for the next few days, and that's good.
nobody likes to sit at work for free.
i doubt most of y'all know about that, but it's a real thing.
i don't wanna waste time,
and these last few days have given me an idea of just how tight timelines
are likely to get as new experiences draw closer and closer to fruition.
i'm talking about babies and children and work and houses
and homes and dogs and dinner and adult interaction
as well as intentional and inventive business operation and creative time management.
it's all got to get restructured, which is a massive undertaking...
meanwhile, i'm still doing what i can to be present and productive in all aspects of studio life.
i'll admit i fall asleep exxxtra hard these days.
i think that's due to running marathons in my mind all dang day...
now, if i can just manufacture a second and third set of hands,
maybe i'll be more effective at doing all the things i'd like to get done.
we'll see what happens.
meanwhile, if i get a moment, i'll make a few more of these skulls.
i know i can at least manage to do that;
never quiet, never soft.....
