Week 32 of 52

A frustrating week of trying to get the computer motherboards from the local repair guy. After multiple trips around the block to his shop, the effort finally netted a grand total of 3. I need to find a better and more efficient way of doing this, though I suspect going to the computer shops is still going to be the way to get the materials I need.

With a little over 2 months left to complete the work, I think I’m going to stop working on Surfing The Deathline 4 for a bit, and get the UWS sculpture out of the way, at least so that I’m not worrying about it.

So the plan for now is:

  1. Get Circuit boards.
  2. Mock up the sculpture, possibly in cardboard or foamcore.
  3. Build the armature.
  4. Locate braided hose.
  5. Finish construction.

Once that’s done, I’m thinking that I’ll start releasing an episode of Surfing The Deathline every month, which would give me 3 months to get book 4 finished, and take me through to the end of the ArtStart grant.

The other big news is that I’m going to New Zealand  in April for 3 days, to visit Gibbs Farm, one of the largest private outdoor sculpture collections in the world.
