Sometimes my website is slow on the uptake.  In my flickr stream (linked above) are all the photos that *should* be on the website.

October 13 - 5 Hours

Saturday - Open Studio Day for Vine Art Center/Ivy Art Building.  The day was rainy, which is perfect creative weather.  Not so perfect for enticing visitors.  However, the slow foot traffic was conducive to a very productive day.  Thanks to all who came out (friends & strangers alike), your presence was wonderful!

My salon-style studio wall

Soundtrack - Grizzly Bear (Shields), The Lumineers (The Lumineers), Frightened Rabbit (The Midnight Organ Fight), Frightened Rabbit (Winter of Mixed Drinks), Tallest Man on Earth (There's No Leaving Now), Cat Power (Sun)

Piece(s) worked on - Eric.  Almost done.

October 11 - 2 Hours

Thursday - Another productive work-exercise-studio day.  This is a good routine.  Perhaps I'll stick with it a while.

Soundtrack - Band of Horses (Everything All the Time), Feist (Let it Die), Gotye (Making Mirrors)

Piece(s) worked on - Eric.  Getting more done on the first layer.  Maybe will only get one done this week :/

Wednesday - Today I forced myself to go for a run after work.  This was a good thing.  I had a rather productive evening with all that energy I acquired from being active.  Maybe it is true what they say?

Soundtrack - The Pines (Dark so Gold), Perfume Genius (Put Your Back N2 It, Learning, then Put Your Back N2 It again #obsessed)

Piece(s) worked on - Colin; Eric.  I know, I know, Colin was done.  But I just did some more beard work today.  NOW he's done.  And here's the update on Eric:
