This is my current studio space, a converted 2 car garage that I have taken over from a painter that once worked in the space. Its nice to have room, but this space is temporary, I don't have all my big toys here. Believe it or not, this is the clean version!
Morning ritual: people coming into my office and talking. It is an irony of life that someone who just wants to come in to work and not interact with everyone, tends to host the morning gab session.
Lauren (on the right) is nursing a tiny office-kitten back to health. Kitty caught some kind of malicious kitty virus and lost 1/3 of his body weight. When you weigh 11 ounces, losing 1/3 of your body weight puts you on death's door. We are pulling for office kitty to make a full recovery. He sure is a pathetic little fella this morning.

This is the traditional way to prepare the parboiled rice in the villages of India. Mostly in Bengal and Assam. Parboiled rice is rice that has been partially boiled in the husk. The three basic steps of parboiling are soaking, steaming and drying. These steps also make rice easier to process by hand, boost its nutritional profile (other than its vitamin-B content, which is denatured) and change its texture. About 50% of the world’s paddy production is parboiled.
Work In Progress. Just need to commission the head sculpt to be created and add some tattoos. His counterpart will come later. I am really excited to be kitbashing these two guys. There are so many ideas in mind for them.

History of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis
Even before Archbishop John J. Glennon announced "I propose to build a temple in the name of the Lord my God," in February of 1905, plans for a new Cathedral for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis were already underway. Archbishop Glennon's predecessor, Archbishop John J. Kain had already purchased the property at Lindell and Newstead. However, his plans were set back by a devastating tornado that drained the Archdiocesan treasury and his own ill health. He remained steadfast in his desire to see the Cathedral built, and when he died, he designated his entire personal estate to the Cathedral building fund.
The undertaking would require a $1,000,000 - a monumental sum in the currency of the time. (and by no means reflective of the actual cost of the completed building). The design of George Barnett of the firm of Barnett, Haynes and Barnett of St. Louis, a synthesis of Byzantine and Romanesque design, was chosen by a selection committee.
On May 1, 1907, ground was broken, and construction began. Work on the Cathedral would continue for another 80 years.
Apostolic Delegate Archbishop Diomede Falconio laid the cornerstone on October 18, 1908, dedicated to the Victorious Christ and Saint Louis IX, King of France, patron saint of the city. The ceremony was observed by members of all 77 Saint Louis parishes, who joined in procession to the site.
The first wedding happened in 1914 just two days after the first Holy Mass was celebrated in the new and far-from-completed building. The first Mass was celebrated six years to the day after the laying of the cornerstone.
The German firm of August Wagner was contracted to install the mosaics. The company set up shop in St. Louis, becoming the Ravenna Mosaic Company. Paul Heuduck undertook the red and gold designs of the transept galleries, then completed the Arch of Triumph and the Arch of Creation, followed by the pendentives underscoring the main dome and the Doctors of the Church pendentives surrounding the Sanctuary Dome.
The Cathedral was ready for consecration. It was an unforgettable occasion for all of Saint Louis. June 29, 1926, the Centennial of the creation of the Diocese of Saint Louis, saw 59 archbishops and priests gather for the ceremonies, including John Cardinal Bonzano, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. More than 100,000 people gathered along Lindell Boulevard to witness the procession of the Blessed Sacrament that evening.
Shortly after World War II, a sacristy was added to the north end of the structure. The Kilgen organ was replaced, and work on the mosaics continued. It was not to be completed until 1988, when the final two areas - the east and west transepts - were completed.
In 1997, the Cathedral was designated as a Cathedral Basilica by Pope John Paul II, who honored the Cathedral Basilica with a visit on his history-making visit to the United States in October of 1999.
The symbols of its status - the tintinnabulum (bell) and the ombrellino (umbrella) - flank the High Altar reminding one and all of the special status as a Cathedral Basilica.

The Star Ferry, or The "Star" Ferry Company, is a passenger ferry service operator in Hong Kong. Its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It was founded in 1888 as the Kowloon Ferry Company, adopting its present name in 1898. It has been rated first in the “Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides” poll by the Society of American Travel Writers (“SATW”) in February 2009. A crossing of Victoria Harbour on a Star Ferry has been named by the National Geographic of Traveler as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime".

There's a reason for this... I get a lot of static shocks at work from my big boots, so when I am in the office, I wear my slippers!
Comfy :)
