The mill that Tom works at is closing down. We just found out yesterday morning.
It's very likely that we'll lose our home. The winds of change are blowin across the land...
yep..we were promised change...and here we go...changin.

I really hope for the best for your situation..It's very hard I know...No jobs, no money...I hope you guys make it through and get to keep your house...maybe he'll find a job...I'll be thinking of you...

what kind of mill? why did it close?

firecracker (Oct 24, 2009)

I believe in the power of "prayer".....so keep praying...."God" will see you thru this....

Miss_DJ (Oct 24, 2009)

It's called International Paper. It closed because the company just isnt' selling as much corrugated paper as it needs to in order to justify staying open. They are also closing 2 other mills in other states. Tom is a Union machinist for that company. He's been a machinist for 30 years, and been at this mill for 10 years. If it's possible to get a job at a mill nearby, then we can save our home. But, if not, we'll have to move to wherever he can get a job. Since our home is (now) worth $185,000, and we owe $15000 MORE than that, we can't sell it....so it will go into foreclosure....So, who knows what the future holds. But, I have faith it will be ok. I've always landed on my feet in life. I expect change...but who knows, maybe for the better in the long run. You never know.

I'm sorry that this "pic" is in the advance board.....but as you can see....I needed a bigger size board for this draw. It can be moved if necessary. I used a "ref" pic for this draw....but I did my own version of the "pic".....so it doesn't look the same as the "ref" pic....."lol"!!!

I've got a few thing's still to do, i just needed to set it to finished.

PS (Oct 17, 2009)

This is really amazing work. Nice job

firecracker (Oct 18, 2009)

I don't know anything about perspective either......but this draw really looks amazing, flubadub.....but I kinda think it still could use a ghost or some kind of eerie spectre or poltergeist floating menacingly thru the dimly lit halls......but it still looks great with or without a ghost....haha!! :P

Fuck Me by Maggie Estep
FUCK ME
I'm all screwed up so
FUCK ME.

FUCK ME
and take out the garbage
feed the cat and FUCK ME
you can do it, I know you can.

FUCK ME
and theorize about
Sado Masochism's relationship
to classical philosophy
tell me how this stimulates
the fabric of most human relationships,
I love that kind of pointless intellectualism
so do it again and
FUCK ME.

Stop being logical
stop contemplating
the origins of evil
and the beauty of death
this is not a TV movie about Plato sex life,
this is FUCK ME
so FUCK ME

It's the pause that refreshes
just add water and
FUCK ME.

Thought I'd go ahead and post but still have some details to work out....

Didn't do much more to this by way of small details, but I'm clearing out my studio because I'm tired of seeing this in there! Now I'm seeing these clear platform shoes all over the place! Haven't seen one containing spiders and bugs yet tho....ref pic used.

so...what do you do when the spider dies....? lol jk i like it the spider pulled me in and i dont like spiders but i love the idea.

firecracker (Oct 16, 2009)

I saw on ebay where someone is selling keychains made out of clear acrylic.....and there is a real insect encased in the acrylic.....there were spiders and scorpions, beetles, etc.

elly (Oct 16, 2009)

Ya I've seen those too, firecracker! They've gotten pretty popular! Also the kind that have a lazer drawn image inside...I have several that were gifts from various people. It all started with a key chain I bought that had a lazer drawing of Christ on the cross.
Thanks, y'all! c:

elly (Apr 3, 2009)

Just clearing this one out of the studio too. The book I drew it for has been published and I was happy with the way it was used inside. The 'photoshopper' cropped different portions of the drawing to use as headers on each chapter page and at the end of the book was the whole drawing itself. Turned out nice and glad I have a copy!!
