Darren gets a new studio.

During the Easter week & weekend (as well as having the worst cold virus known to man... honest!), Jane and I were working to move me out of the small office I was working in, into a larger studio. Both rooms needed emptying out, and everything I was working on needed carefully packing away so nothing got lost in the move... but we finally got me in here.

(It's amazing how long it takes to unplug all your computer connections, power leads, USBs etc, and unscrew a desk that's actually made out of three desks put together - then reassemble it all!)

The good news is that now I can have both my painting station and my sculpting station set up at the same time. This has always been a thing that slowed me down in the past... If i was working on sculpting work but was struggling, and felt like doing some painting, it was a hassle to pack away my sculpting equipment and get my painting station set up. So often I wouldn't bother.

Now I can have everything set up - permanently!!

Also there's space next to me on the desk (with more to come when I get another desk added to it) for somebody else to sit to help me get through commissions faster. My space it now way more productive that the small room I used to be cramped into. Plus the window here is about twice the size of the old room, so I have much better, natural light to paint by... and that's always a bonus!

Now leave me alone I have lots of work to do!!! ;)
