. . . Or not. . .
Traditionally, I have posted a list of projects scheduled to-be-completed for the upcoming Show in February; and a slate of potential projects that I intended to tackle during the course of the modelling year.
This year, I have decided to fly (paint?) by the seat of my pants; i.e., no "flight plan"! Part of this is due to the vicissitudes of work; but a not insignificant reason is the nature of the hobby in 2015: I am simply not enjoying what it has become in this day and age.
I still enjoy the creative process, and I cherish the time I spend at the bench, whether it is spent generating dust and shavings, or slinging paint. But for the first time, there is a real sense of disenfranchisement, to say nothing of a disquieting and pervasive banality. Addio fraternità!
We'll see how the year unfolds. . .
