What are you up to wednesday - part 11

My last post was a what are you up to post as well. Yes, it's been a week already since I posted anything. The reason is that it's simply been a crazy and somewhat horrible week, where art was pretty much non existent.

All sorts of things were going on. I had several doctor's appointments (all is well, but there's always the stress of testing and probing) and when you have to see a specialist around here you have to leave the island, which pretty much means you're away for an entire day, which is exhausting if you have to do it three times within six days.

I was also confronted with a migraine attack over the weekend, which left me nauseated and dizzy and no good for anything. I must say that with age it gets a little easier (it used to be much worse), but it's still no fun.

And also two people I care about were going through the horror of loosing their baby, which has not been a mood enhancer either. I was away for that for two days as well (just got back yesterday). Art got moved to the back burner, which I suppose is to be expected. Although it has a high priority with me, some things will always come before it and frankly, there was just no room in my head for anything creative.

I have been drawing a little last week and will show you those in my next post. For now I'll just tease you with a nice little view of what the mailman brought today. I was kind of relieved this arrived, because I had no idea what to show you, since there's no progress on any project whatsoever.


Yup, it's a bunch of artsy books! Thank you amazon for your fast international delivery. ;-) And would you believe it: these arrived in their own postal bag as well! Just like the last shipment that I showed in one of my previous wednesday posts! I have no idea why I am being selected as the local  US postal bag receiver, but I do feel pleased with it! I'm thinking of using the previous one to cover the altered atlas I'm working on.

In time all the books above will make it to this blog for a review. I have about two or three lined up for future posts already, but I still need to write them in english, so be patient.

That's it for today. I just came home from work and now have four days off to look forward to and frankly, I am in need of some serious R&R after all the goings on of the past week, so I have no idea if I will be doing much studio work. I guess, you'll find out soon enough though if you keep up with this blog. ;-)

Hope you're all having a wonderful week!
