I had another &#8220;studio&#8221; dream, where I see BTP in a better place. In this one I was in my own studio\/home out in the Oregon deep forest, but the older me was asleep in the other room. I was looking at my own accomplishments in the form of living paintings. Then I got in my van and drove back down the long road back to town.<\/p>\n<p>The boys were fritzing around with their nerf guns this morning.<\/p>\n<p>I have an assistant now. Today was his first day. He&#8217;s Johnny on the Spot. It&#8217;s pretty awesome. It really lightens the load. Don&#8217;t get emotionally attached, though, I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to work out. For all I know he&#8217;ll implode in a week. Like I always say, &#8220;you can&#8217;t hold in crazy for more than 30 days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, as a matter of trivia, my wife and I dated for 19 days before getting engaged. I wouldn&#8217;t recommend that for everyone, but it worked out for us. I remember sitting on the concrete stairs of her apartment complex (we couldn&#8217;t be inside alone together for the sake of propriety) and looking at her; in my mind&#8217;s eye it was as if a pillar of light came down to rest on her, that if I willed this would be a life match for me.<\/p>\n<p>For those that are courting, I recommend putting the physical relationship on hold while considering the weighty matters of marriage. If need be, have a chaperone at all times, and only be in public. That&#8217;s the only way we managed to keep our hands off each other!<\/p>\n<p>No other news really. There is ONE project (KODT) waiting in the digital photography booth. I&#8217;m expecting in a few more projects tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I am booking projects for painting the very last week of May, and for Assembly the two weeks just before that. If anyone is interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture: a new Forge World Reaver Titan (this was NOT painted by BTP). I just love the look and feel of this model.
