post show

Hey well the show opened, and it was lovely to get some many people coming. Had a great night. Sales weren't massive, sold 5. If i sell another 2 i'll cover expenses. So, well, nu, but thats OK. Nobody makes art to make money. I really like not making a loss though, thats just arse. Its a dignity thing, once you been sculpting 20 years. But i'm sure a few more will go from the gallery over the next 6 months & thats how long they can hang on to em for.

Its a week after the opening & i feel much better. I've had some sitting about time, not too much, but feels really good. Only working one full time job is quite OK. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do one full time job that you really *wanted* to do. Heh. How damn relaxing would that be!

Getting there

Been a hard little track (just about the finish of me) but I might be nearly arrived at the destination i.e. Having the work ready 4 my show.
One positive thing happened today.. I discovered is that I have a huge bruisy lump on my foot, which is way cool cos I thought it was gout again.
Have buggered my right hand from overuse so I'm calling it mostly done.
There's 2 more castings i could easily finish if i had 2 functioning hands but, what the hell. Reckon I got a bunch of stuff, should be ok. Just a bit more colour touch ups on a couple, n we're done.
As usual have lowered my expectations to suit the product I'm able to produce.. Well u got to.. But even then was pleasantly surprised with some of em.

One week

One week to set up of show. Think I am in the shit really, cos I'm also sick. Think I'm just exhausted, getting a wisdom tooth pulled last week has set me back a ways I think. The bronzes are coming along ok but the stainless are a pain in the ass. Might need an extra day orf work.

Can't wait till it's all over. Damn I could use a year off..
