Self-Isolation: Week Sixteen

This week looks busier than it actually felt with the long holiday weekend. I mainly worked on repainting Mary’s office, which while heard work, is something I always find really rewarding. I’m most of the way there, but will probably end up finishing it next weekend. I finished off Rise Of The Tomb Raider, and got about 40% of the way through Marvel’s Spider-Man, which I’m really enjoying - they’ve got the experience of swinging through Manhattan’s buildings executed perfectly, and it’s a beautiful game.

I’m thinking about taking on Injustice 2 next, but it’s been so much fun to finally branch out of playing Destiny, and just enjoying playing through the story arcs of other games. I’m also working on getting a PS5 later this year!

Design-wise here, just a few small sketches more than anything, which have been fun to just sit in front of the TV and work on (some of these were done while watching Hamilton, which I found to be great). Mainly just type experiments more than anything. I’ve started a longer term project, but it’s not ready for primetime just yet, I want to give it a few more weeks before starting to share out, which will make sense when I do. I also can’t believe we’ve been doing all of this for 4 months already.

Musically it’s been a mixed bag, with Birdland, Bleach, the new Khruangbin, Pop Will Eat Itself, Gay Dad and Thousand Yard Stare in the mix in the office and while I’ve been painting.
