Summer is definitely here in Alaska. The days are exquisitely drenched in sunlight that lasts forever and the nights are cool and refreshing, with no hint of the bitterness associated with the winter cold. I'm taking this time to focus on myself, and my interests. Working on getting a day job that doesn't suck so I can quit my night job that sucks a lot. And as soon as I get all of that settled, I'm going to start branching out as far as my art goes. I'm going to try oil painting this summer, and I've got my next project lined up. I'm collecting models for the 12 piece series and hopefully I can get all the photos and angles I need before I buy all the supplies for the paintings. I've never worked with oil, so this will be an experiment in style and color and technique that I'm really looking forward to.

I still need to cast 4 more masks to finish my 7DeadlyS7ns project, and then decide what to do with them once they are cast. Do I just finish them off as masks? Or should I use them as a mold and cast the faces in lucite?

So many choices....
