Kevin’s got a Flickr set detailing some of the renovation. The photos aren’t great quality, since they’re mostly taken with an iPhone at night in a dark room, but you get the gist. (Also, I’m not that fat. It’s the painter-pants, I swear!) We’ll be taking some better shots once everything is actually set up, […]

KEVIN (surveying vast piles of supplies): Out of curiosity, how did you fit all this in your studio? URSULA: Um. KEVIN: Can you fold space-time? Do you carry a portable pocket universe? Was the closet actually bigger on the outside than the inside? URSULA: Pact with the devil. (The sad truth is that the stoffice, […]
In one day of lunacy and madness and moving, the floor got down, minor crises got dealt with, and I have everything moved out of my studio and into the Stoffice. Not, y’know, organized. Lots more furniture is required for that. At the moment, everything is simply stacked haphazardly, canvases are propped against walls, books […]
I…think I just had an erotic dream about Alton Brown. *cough* ON THAT NOTE…somewhat belatedly because I was pulling staples last night and didn’t remember to post, there’s a new Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap! We explore the terrifying notion of Lutheran-Indian fusion cuisine, drink cheap wine, and eat substandard food. There are frozen pot […]
I tell ya, if you’re ever lacking in creative inspiration, pack your whole studio up in boxes for a couple of days and go tear up carpeting. Apparently there’s nothing quite like it to get the creative juices flowing, because I found myself digging up my watercolor trays (which hadn’t been jammed in a box […]
…Merry Dies Natalis Solis Invicti! For those new readers, that’s the Mithraic holiday that hits around this time–I long ago came to the realization that there’s no fighting the season, so, like everybody else, you must simply slap your own name on it and reach for the liquor. And having somehow come to picture Mithras* […]
So I had a crazed day, picking up the flooring, painting, packing up the studio, discovering that they had shorted us a box of flooring, picking THAT up, driving to another Lowes to get the thing that they forgot to order, etc. I got home to find a package waiting from my parents, which included, […]
The great remodelstravaganza that will consume most of this month is in full swing. We have dragged out most of the non-essential furniture–the rest will probably go tonight or tomorrow, leaving only the Highly Essential Stuff which will go this Saturday, followed by the tearing up of carpet and pad on Sunday. The kids have–with […]
My sketchbook indicated that Arnold had a brother. Still fooling around with the birdhouse shape. Interestingly, I think it works better when it’s more vertical, or maybe just when it has a deeper overhang on the roof shape–the near-square of this one came out somewhat less dynamic than the first birdhouse. But that’s why we […]
I had doodled Arnold, and felt he needed a home. Put this together from clayboard and foamcore wrapped in rice paper–coat the back in ultra heavy gel, and it becomes surprisingly sturdy!–covered with various papers and random bits. Original for sale–drop a line if interested–and of course, prints are available.
