Art Lair

The Art Lair a.k.a The Art Hole

Mother guilt be damned! I kicked the boys out of the Snit Room and let them move all their Xbox crap upstairs (which I may live to regret). And I took the room for my studio. I had been thinking about getting a studio downtown, but the more I thought about the odd hours I'd be keeping, the more I got a little freaked about running into unsavoury characters. The idea was a good one- I just was getting scared with the possibilities. I knew that would affect my creative time.

So, a studio at home seemed the next best thing. Plus the fridge is close. So is the computer. After spending $5000 at Future Shop to buy a 52" tv and complete home-theatre surround sound, the boys will be happy upstairs. And I can close the door to my studio downstairs, light the candles, look at my flying Bird Muffies, and relax.

I feel this is a step in the right direction. My goal is to produce 10 very cool shadowboxes by the end of 2010 so that I can have a show in 2011. My working title is "The Far End of Something". No, I don't have a window, but with all my cool stuff around me, I won't even notice.

Bring on the ideas! Where's my Muse? Now I need a Muse.
