I’m on my last two plushie commissions for my Christmas rush time, they’re both for my homie Tony who lives like three blocks away from me, and he needs them by Christmas Eve so I’m good… but wow… I’m like literally burned out on making plushies… I still have two more to do after that, one for my Clone from an alternate future Alex, one of my frequent collaborators, and the other which has taken almost a year to actually get past the planning phase thanks to the fact that my homegirl Kelli is like the wind… but that’s beyond the point, the point is that by the end of December I’m gonna need to take a break from plushing or I’m gonna go nuts. I have pics for 9 creatures to upload to deviantart now from this recent batch, and two more to add to that shortly… I’d really like to give myself a little time to recover… but I know that it can’t be much of one because I have to build up an inventory for Valentines Day… my only other big selling time… so I guess I just need to keep going…
In other Creaturey news, D-wayne Came in the mail today back from my buddy Patrick Carrie, of Limbeck fame, along with a CD full of pics. See, D-wayne went on tour with Limbeck (well… half of Limbeck at least) during their recent Acoustic Tour, taking pics with D-wayne at a few landmarks during the trip. it was pretty darn rad of them to do that, I’ll be postin the pics fairly soon. I hope to get more people to take d-wayne with them on any long distance treks and shoot photos with him like this in the future.
Fortunately I have a few things to work on to keep me occupied on the Nerf Front that will keep all this sewing from driving me completely crazy (see I’m only mostly crazy … which is how I prefer to remain) , including a few new modding projects that I’m jumping into straight after Christmas. Also I’m going to really be kicking into gear on re-building these websites too… really.
on a side note, I’m currently watching The Muppet Christmas Carol for what I think is at least my tenth time for the month… and I’m not tired of it in the least… in fact I think I’m gonna be sad when Christmas is over and I have to let this excellent film collect dust on my shelf for a year… le sigh. Seriously I put this right up there with White Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life, and A Christmas Story, as one of the best Holiday Films ever… I mean, it just isn’t Christmas without the telling of the story of a Christmas carol by a blue, furry, Charles Dickens and his food-obsessed sarcastic rat sidekick.
On another side note I somehow got dropped from one of the classes I enrolled in for next quarter at UCI… which I’m still confused about, but not concerned; I’m still a full time student…and seeing as now that means I only have to be at school on Monday and Wednesday… and that my school day starts at Noon… it’s nearly the prefect Commuter Student schedule except that I get out at six… and right in the middle of rush hour traffic… but it’s not so bad. This also means I can finally not rely on this hit or miss unemplo… er…I mean Freelance… thing, and perhaps land a standard job, nothing fancy, I’m hoping for a shot to work at my local Toys R Us or as a craft teacher at Michale’s… just some sort of part time gig that will give me steady pay.
