Polyester Resin is the Devil's Saliva

I've been working with the stuff for the past week, and let me tell you, It's awful. The smell fills your nose, dizzies your head, and lives in your carpets. It sticks your fingers together and finds every little cut on your hands. Oh, did I mention it can burn you as it dries? It makes the carving process all the more fun, I suppose... Such an unpredictable material.

Oh, the joys of making props for movies. (I'm making fake quartz crystals. It's a long story)

Movies, movies, movies... you separate the men from the boys.

Luckily, Seu Jorge's work on the Life Aquatic Sessions helps to mellow me out.


Expect a full post when I have more than five minutes of free time. As for now, it's finally time for bed, and it's just as well, tomorrow starts at 5:30am.



Rest well and take heart, because if life seems tough right now, at least you're not choking down noxious fumes while carving a gelatinous skin irritant with a sharpened kitchen knife at one o'clock in the morning.
