The Brewing Luminous

So I made some art

a long time ago. I showed it to the GF recently and I'm pretty sure she was totally unimpressed.

At the time, I was really interested in the portrayal of women in fashion magazines. The pretentious fuck inside me would like to tell you I was deconstructing something or another blah blah blah.

But what's funny is now, just a few years later, I really don't give a shit.

Except for maybe this one. I thought it was really clever that I cut out her bikini and gave her eyeball tits. And that bush is actually an eyebrow from another picture. I'm sure there was artistic intent there beyond a boner, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was supposed to mean. I like girls, really.

But you'd probably never guess if you judged me from this. God, I can be a real twat sometimes.

The trees are taller when you were young

And so are the battleships.

SBD Dauntless Divebomber

My most satisfying build to date. This is the Hasagawa 1:48 Dauntless. Came together like a dream and was a joy to paint. I didn't document the build as well as I should have, but I think the finished product speaks for itself.

Stacking rocks at Point Mugu

I went camping with my fair lady and her twin sister at Point Mugu. It's one of the few places in Southern California where you can camp right on the beach. But the strange thing about Point Mugu is the rocks. When the tide is high at night, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is coupled with the strange, haunting sound of the rocks tumbling over each other as the waves wash in and out. It's a wonderful sound to fall asleep to. And over time, the rocks become smooth and perfect for stacking.

I'd be remiss if I didn't post a shot of my fair lady. I have a difficult time imagining navigating the seas without her.
