In spite of the uncertainty that will no doubt be a hallmark of 2009, I am looking forward to a productive and creative year on the respective benches.
If last year was the "Year of the Daimyō", and 2007 the "Year of the Rovers", then 2009 will go down as the "Year of the Monsters"! Hot on the front burners is the in-progress painting of my original creation of "Der Vampyrjäger". The theme will then take a more 'Universal' and "classical" tack with three offerings from GEOmetric Designs: the 1/4-scale busts of "The Mummy" (Boris Karloff--masterfully sculpted by Kenneth Nyman) and "The Bride of Frankenstein" (Elsa Lanchester--sculpted by Jeff Yagher); and the resin version of William Paquet's brilliant 1/12th scale full-figure of Karloff as "The Mummy". The first two mentioned pieces will hopefully soon grace these pages, though all are on one table or another as I write.
The rest of the time will be spent on more usual fare, at least for me. At this early date, I don't anticipate launching any "major" new projects--rather I am hoping to wrap-up some projects that for one reason or another have lamentably made little progress in the face of unforeseeable headwinds.
More to follow soon . . .
