Self-Isolation: Week Thirty

Looking back over the work here, it definitely felt less industrious than it actually ended up being. I’ve really been enjoying spending time in Ancient Greece over the past few months - first as a student, but also a ton this week as a gamer inside of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. I’m about 30 hours (or about half way… I think) through it all at the moment, and the game is vast. Happy to graduate with a 75% average through Wesleyan University’s Ancient Greeks course, which I’d been engaged with for the past 7 weeks.

Also had a little bit of a breakthrough on the painting front, switching from lines to squares, which are still in progress but there’s some sketches here which came together in the context of some thoughts around English bingo hall calls. I sent a couple of new books off to the printers, one documenting the past few weeks of creative projects (and archiving a whole bunch of time spent in Uncharted earlier during the Pandemic), and one for my time at QVC both in the UK and the USA. Both continued to be so much fun to put together, but it’ll probably be a while before I make another one of these as I’ve been on quite a tear with these recently. I did a little experiment with getting one of my pieces printed up as a small metal sheet, which came out much better than I’d hoped for, and I’ll probably do some more of these (maybe some more colored squares etc.)

Finally got around to finishing off the Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps DLC, which had been sitting on my PS4 for forever (it was surprisingly quick to pile through). Tooled around a bit with my new phone’s camera, and took some photos off the screen of Schindler’s List which I watched a couple of nights ago. Oh, and I assembled a giant new 4 seater couch for the deck!
