Hello good people of the newsletter mailing list. I dearly want to come up with a collective nickname for you all but my brain isn't up for that level of cleverness right now.

I do however have some skulls for you.

I've had to buy another drawing pad for drawing skulls. Which i think is the forth one I've bought. Each one is 150 pages. Which must mean I might have drawn well over 300 skulls now? I may have to count them. Its a wild thought that's for sure.

I end up having a four day weekend thanks to the public holiday. Still didn't get any major work done somehow.

But. I am working on some stall displays.

I've done more since I took these photos. It's taking longer than I would like.

I've even put the badges in individual packaging.

Which I'm less happy about as i detest plastic. But I'm hoping it makes things look more professional. I also crocheted a display whos it.

I also completed a glove commission for a work colleague.

Saturday sore me wondering out to st kilda to see Jeff Martin at the prince band room.

Honestly how good us live music. It was a more chilled out gig than I've been to this year. But Jeff is fantastic live. And it made me itch to art. Unfortunately bandrooms have terrible lighting for drawing.

Also the post gig existential crisis sucks and is probably part of the reason why the day job is putting me on edge.

I should be making things, not repeating myself on the wool percentage of a ball of yarn that is clearly written there. Yes. Right there. Where I am pointing…

Ironically I'm looking at a library customer service job….which will require me to be patient….oh boy…

I was also looking at park ranger jobs. But I don't think I have the qualifications for that….

Any way.

I'm also trying to figure out which art and craft markets to go to. And what art i can get done for at prizes. Maybe I should look up paid artist residences too.

Okay I've run out of steam. And there's still things to do.

So I shall bid you a good evening and hopefully I'll be more interesting next time.
