Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

Click to zoom in if you'd like a closer view. I'd say the painting is about half to two thirds done at this point. I still have to re-paint the octopus to give it some volume and shine (which I've been procrastinating on) because it's still just the original undercoat, and then I'll reline it all again.

I've told my property manager that I want out of my lease. As soon as that is approved (which I hope will be no problem), I'm moving into a studio that can not only be built up as a proper BME office, but also to house various art projects that have far outgrown this house.

Other than that I can't stop thinking about getting something like a ShopBot CNC router… I'd love to make custom carved frames for all of my paintings, sculptural door frames and baseboards, and all the neat stuff a tool like that could create…
