All moved in!
I have no photos of my fabulous new (tiny) lovely apartment. So I offer you the above lightning storm attaching itself to volcanic plumes from one of my regular blog hangouts, BLDGBLOG.
Back to mundane matters: now I just need to hang all the art in the new place, and then move my office to my sculpture studio (I'm going to do all my different kinds of work - sculpture and design - over there from now on), and then move my studio from Fishtown to Port Richmond (all parts of Philadelphia). So yeah, a whole month of moving, schlepping, hauling, organizing, schlepping some more, and breaking down 1,000 musty cardboard boxes and sneezing.
Cardboard is completely amazing. I have been thinking about it a lot. Of course I think about it, because I work with it as a sculpture...but I am appreciating it on a whole 'nother level right now. Like, I know for a fact that one of the cardboard boxes I have been using has been full of heavy heavy stuff and hauled from place to place over ten times right now and it still seems as strong as Day 1. Cardboard is impressive. And its the best color. I tried to get a paint color for my wall in my last apartment that was the exact color of cardboard and failed. Maybe I should just staple cardboard to my walls instead.
Not only would it be the perfect color, but it'd buffer the sound if you did also!
