There’s always lots of stuff going on around here. For instance, over the holiday I totally rearranged a few rooms so I’d have a better studio setup. The living room became a music room, which is still a living room, technically, because in my view living involves standing up and playing the guitar and making songs and recordings and practicing instruments and doing art pieces, NOT sitting on my ass and watching TV. One and Zero.
Amidst all that chaos, real work continues unabated. Here’s a little rundown of stuff I’ve got going on, continuing from the last time I did a post like this:
painting a guitar Aztec Gold—I’m really into gilding things atm, so it’s of a piece with everything else. The guitar is going to need some electronics work, which I’ll get to when I’ve acquired the necessary tools and supplies.
painting gold circles inside of squares on wood or plywood in several sizes
still going through my archives of CDRs and cassettes (hundreds of hours of home-recorded music) and notebooks (songs, song fragments, lyrics, album plans, cartoons, drawings, etc)
the big one is that my cassettes came in for my upcoming release of It’s Him! by Dim Jim. I’ll have these for sale at my next show (January 29, Inchoate Art Gallery, Greenville, SC) and will do a post and social media stuff about it within the next 5-7 days.
Still jamming guitar and switching out my switches, auralizing and visualizing the upcoming show.
