The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can

This is another one from my show, the largest.

Studio times!Man I’ve been working down in my cave hole (its actually really rad but it is in a basement sooo) like 12 hrs a day for the last couple days. I’m actually starting to see a show shaping itself out of all the chaos, so i’mma keep at it and hopefully i wont flail and i’ll get it all done for the 15th. Im the worst procrastinator ever i swear, if i’m not under some crazy pressure i’ll probably be looking at internets instead of doing my work. Le sigh. anyways, heres a little sneak preview of some work in progress stuff for the show, all brown paper and paint pens and so much drawing. i really hope it all comes together, i have high hopes that it’ll look pretty cool when it happens so yeah the 15th hooo boy.
