A Year In The Making.

I know I got back from the Woods a week ago already, and there is a lot to tell you all about how much conscription sucks ass and is a big waste of state budget ( " But we live next to Russia, man!"), but since pictures say more than a thousand excuses and right now I'm sitting at school learning to code Python ( Yes, I know it's a blistering heatwave in the making, fuck you) because summer courses rule, I ain't really got a chance to upload jack - but they're on the way, kids!

So I could've uploaded them somewhere last week, but I'm lazy.

Oh wait, No, Wrong Excuse: I actually got something done last week!

See, there was actually something more important to tell y'all about: I got my first mural done.

It's huge, like literally half a wall; it's currently a relatively "simple" 2-layer job; it took 14h of non-stop* painting to get done and I fcuk-ing free-handed the whole second layer. It may not sound like such a big deal, but with the wall being grainier than the god-damned Sahara, Chinese water torture would be a more humane way to die.

*OK, it wasn't completely non-stop; every now and then I had to get myself another drink to steady the hands again. I kinda get why painters are usually raging drunks and junkies.

But now it's there, it's beautiful and it's over. OK, there are still a few corrections I need to do, but since I don't have the right shade of white ( You're kidding me, right: who the hell invented different shades of white???), it'll have to wait a week or two.

I know this is the part of the post where I should have a huge picture of the wall, and, honestly, I really want to show it to you guys - but I promised I wouldn't show any of them ( yes, plural) before they were all finished and I'd held a grand, ceremonious open-doors kinda thing where we'd slaughter a cow and three chickens for posterity.

Because that's how we roll up in Scandinavia.

Edit: Actually posted on the 22nd, but since I messed up the viewable-options, I changed the date as well. 'scuse me.
