Had a productive few days, Sorted out and wallpapered the spare room downstairs ready for some display cabinets to go in. (Not a job I relished but it had to be done as the Disney collection is getting out of hand). Finally got round to framing up a bunch of coasters the wife bought, Artist is Angel Egle Wierenga, Need to adjust beetlejuice slightly but happy with the result otherwise. Oh and the wifes christmas present arrived just in time, should keep her busy for a while. (I got the full castle kit and the LED addon) |

One thing that has been quite surprising is finding out how many people we know that have struggled with it either personally or within their immediate families. She's doing some fascinating work with genetic analysis of brain and blood samples. The kind of stuff that was science fiction 20 years ago. Two other things in my life. Last night I went to a successful defense celebration party. And it was at a mezcal bar. Now I've had mezcal and worm salt and they were amongst the worst things I've ever tasted. Also, brisket was $1.50/lb today. Pics related. |

So about a month ago my company lost 2 projects that our publishers pull out from. That was a huge blow, that crippled the studio. We had laid off over half our staff, and if we didn’t get another project signed before Christmas break, the studio would have been shut down. On Friday, our CEO told us he came into the office with the intention of laying everyone off because we weren’t able to get anything signed, until about an hour before his lay-off meeting with us all, he received a call from a publisher we were talking to, and they offered us a contract!! Talk about by the skin of our teeth! This was definitely a Christmas miracle, and has been a huge weight off my shoulders. I’ve been working crazy hours the last month, from trying to build up demos and pitches, to updating my own portfolio for my contingency plan in case I got laid off. I was pulling off consistent 14 hour work days, and sleeping maybe 4 hours a night. I’m chuffed I have a job waiting for me when we get back from break, and I get to spend the holidays relaxed and worry-free with family. *phew* |
