Let me be honest, I’ve been back for a while, but shortly after my vacation came to an end, my computer decided to take one of it’s own – A permanent one. One minute it was there and working just peachy, the next it was kapoot. No hard drive, no operating system, no nothing, just [...]
A few more days and I’ll be on vacation, off to the wilds of Northern Ontario. Thank [insert preferred deity here]. This could have come a lot sooner, considering my stress levels are so high they’ll take at least a week to normalize.
Some how I manage to do this to myself every year. The [...]
It’s bloody winter again and not just “Oh yay! There’s snow on the ground” type of winter, but “Holy muther of **** my tongue has frozen to the roof of my mouth” sort of winter. So, in true Grinch spirit, I decided to take yesterday, ignore the world, hibernate and paint.

You may notice that things look a little different around here (If you haven’t until reading these words you might want to look into glasses or avoid drinking before 11 am) I’m fiddling with the design here on Spacebublegum and it make take a few days, but bear with me and we’ll get through this [...]
More progress! Even I’m amazed at the speed at which this is materializing.
Also note in the background is the other large painting I’ve been eluding to. It was just started yesterday.
Often, far too often, life throws a wrench at you while your riding a high and sends you careening into traffic narrowly avoiding a mac truck, a handful of over sized roller skates (otherwise known as smart cars) and an old Portuguese lady flipping you the bird.
