My Hat is BACK!
Well, I turned 32 last week. I got a bunch of super cool stuff for my birthday, but the best present BY FAR was a 2.0 version of the winged hat that I had since I was a kid (and lost in New York in 2004, as some of you might remember). Claire whipped this up based on one black and white photograph and my verbal description. It's perfect! She even improved upon the original design by making it out of wool (instead of acrylic), so it will be warmer and will age better. Now I just have to make sure I don't LOSE it!
It was this time last year that Claire moved in with me and I feel like we have been traveling through hyperspace ever since. Between teaching, working as much as possible on Basewood and spending time with Claire, the days have passed quickly. I guess time flies when you're having fun, eh? Or when your butt is glued to the drawing chair...
I hope that trend will continue! I'm currently 75% done with the last chapter of Basewood and I CAN'T WAIT to have it done so I can move on to other creative projects that are currently burning in my brain. I'm still on track to have it done by the end of the year, but that means drawing as much as possible between now and then.
31 was gone in the blink of an eye, and 32 is already shaping up to be an interesting year of life, with many changes coming down the pipeline. But more about all of that later, for now it's back to the drawing board!
