Sour Candy

 

I watched my niece make this then asked her for it then made a frame for it. I feel like it represents eating sour candy

Christmas Presents 2024

 

First design them, then cut them out of a table leg, then sand them on an inverted belt sander in a vice, then chop them on an ancient band saw, then burn them, then paint them, then seal them, then keychainify them!

The Back Burner

 

"It's on the backburner," For me there is only one burner, and making The Satan Killers was the first time it had even gotten warm in years. After writing this chapter with Dr. Kasamov and the test reactor I looked back through my scans and found exactly 8 years to the day was when I developed the concept initially.

The God Labs Rough Script Begins

 

Finally, finally finally, after 8 years, I've been able to go ahead writing the rough script for The God Labs. It consists of all the writing and thumbnails of the illustrations and is already about 250 pages having just started writing part 5. It starts just after the events of The Satan Killers, at Satan's funeral. This is going to be a lot of work. Originally I was going to paint in photoshop from my ink drawings, as I did in The Satan Killers, but this proved too taxing to my hand so I'll be doing another refinement of final sized pencil drawings before the digital painting, like I did in Red and the Wolfe. Finally.

Monster High Coffin

 

Finally found something to do with this coffin and monster high dolls.

Pedal Box Omega

 

Remade this anti-dust pedal box for the third time. I accidentally dropped a pedal on the second iteration and broke it but I was considering throwing the whole thing out anyway. Having to take the extra step of removing the lid made me not play as often, but I think this side mounted piano hinge will work out. Also has the benefit of blocking some of the loudness from the amp/speaker right next to it.

Lighted pedal case

 

Made a lighted display case for pedals and such. I didn't know home depot has big sheets of clear acrylic, this is the new future I've been waiting for.
