Well as some might have noticed it's been quite a while since I uploaded anything new.
Now it's not that I don't have any projects going on because if anything I have to many as is.
I have two drawings, one statuette, one katana stand and a crocheting project waiting for me. I just can't get myself to sit down and work on them. And well, forcing it doesn't work either because that's usually when things really go awry.
I'm bothered by some personal issues, like losing my best friend. And the temperature isn't helping either. I'm one of those silly persons who gets depressed by to much sun. I sincerely dislike warm weather, 14° celcius or 57° Fahrenheit is my personal favorite.
Ah well, three more months and it will be autumn, that will cheer me up.

I actually did get my first commission here, someone wanted me to make them a custom humidor. But since my lumberyard couldn't supply me with the most essential wood I needed, as it might not be available for perhaps a year or so, I had to pass on that. Nevertheless the gesture did lighten my mood!

On a completely different note I was wondering about something. Is there still such a thing as an original idea? Or has everything been done before? Everywhere I look I only seem to see derivatives of other ideas. Or at the very least recombinations of existing ideas. And the same goes for my own ideas; in some form or context someone seems to have beaten me to it every time. Is that just a causality of having an imagination that is bound by what is knowable? As every idea has to emerge from some form of defined base for it to be plausible. Even the fantasies are essentially rooted in what is known. So we have a limited pool of options to play with, even though it might be huge, there's still limits. And have we almost tried every last one of those in the centuries we've been at it? Now I'm not saying we can't use new media or a higher level of skill to express our ideas (original or not) and be different in that way. But is that it? Are we reduced to being content with dressing up old ideas in a new outfit? On the other hand, is that such a bad thing? Can or should we be content with such a prospect?

Well that's about it, hopefully I'll have something "new" to show for the next update.
