The New Studio Space! (Patreon)

Well, it's been about 2 weeks since I told you that I was moving into a new studio space. I thought I would have everything set up by now but they are still adding the finishing touches, and electricity is being installed on Monday. 

So to make due, I have an extension cord running to my desk that is in the middle of the room so I can at least finish editing videos for Cognitive Drawing. I'm happy to say that I finished all 90 videos today. Now I can finally check THAT off my list. :)

The floor still has a faint smell of newly coated varnish and I have been given a second desk (for my assistant) that we will try to haul over here tomorrow. Right now all my stuff is just in a pile in the center of the room. At the rate I am going it will be the end of next week before I have 80% of things set up and functioning again. 

I still need to build a bookshelf that will act as a room divider. And I plan to install a utility sink and counter in the back to go with my coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave. 

Even with all the work needed, I really love the way this new place feels. 

I have to admit that I'm stressing about how long this move is taking though. I was expecting to be fully settled by now but the building manager is promising me to have all the work finished (molding, electrical and other little things) by the end of the month. 

On the bright side, the building comes with free internet and it's super fast. I'm walking distance from restaurants and located on, what I consider, the coolest intersection in all of Pocatello. This is what I was hoping to find when I first moved here to Idaho, five years ago, but nothing was available at that time that worked for me, or it was completely run down and abandoned. Better yet, it's only a little more expensive than what I was paying at my old office.

So what now?

Well, now that I just finished all 90 Cognitive Drawing videos that I promised backers I can start thinking about my next steps and projects. Aside from getting the studio set up, I have new plans for Youtube that I am eager to start. I still feel unsure if I can pull everything off that I want to do with Youtube but once I get set up here I'm going to give it my best shot and see what happens. I'll keep you in the loop as I start working on a new video. ;)

Cognitive Drawing books are being shipped to me now too and it looks like they will be coming in August now because of the new virus fears again. Anyone else here tired of fear controlling the world? I believe that if fear controls my decisions then I'm probably making the wrong decision. But that's all I will say about that.

Phobos Kickstarter?

I am eager to get back to work on Phobos soon too. I don't want to launch a Phobos Indiegogo until I have all the Cognitive Drawing books shipped out though. And so it looks like the earliest I will be able to launch the Phobos campaign is probably September now. 

Well, that's all I got for you right now. I'll be sure to give you a new update when I'm fully moved in and back to drawing and storytelling. 

Thanks so much for your support! See you soon,
