Around the new studio...

it's been over a month since we moved to a new apartment in a new neighborhood in Brooklyn,

and i feel like i've finally settling into my new work environment with some comfort.

the new studio is a small nook in the living room - quite a change from the big room i used to have before,

but i feel like this fits me & my radius of activity better - kind of like my old studio in the apartment before the last.

some things that's been going on around the studio :

speaking of the old old studio, i found these papers i've splattered ink & gesso on in '08 or so,

and put some faces on it - maybe i'll fully paint it later on at some point.

and some paintings :

(a study piece on hands.)

my sculpture crate above - now that i have a rooftop access, i can work messily up there!

which means that i can start slowly acquiring some power tools. yay!

and look what matthew made :

there was an unfortunate bike accident (a hit & run by a car) but luckily he came out unscathed,

but the bike didn't - so with the crushed bike, he made this little stool.

yay for making!
