Somebody needs to change the month of March from Women’s History month to Dustin Timbrook has a lot to do month.
What do I have to do? The first thing is a F’n doozy. I’m moving my studio to the second floor of Lowe Mill. It’s a space three times the size of what I currently work in and I will even get an enclosed sound booth to work on audio/video stuff. There’s just one catch:
I have to build the thing from scratch.
I spent all day yesterday tearing the “structure” that originally enclosed the space down. If you are wondering why I wouldn’t just save those old walls instead of building new ones, come have a look through the pile of materials that I tore down. Corrugated sheet metal, old office partitions with “Ghetto Child” graffitied across the surface, and completely random scraps of luan, plywood, etc. are what the orignal walls were hodge-podged together from. One particular 4×8 sheet of haf-inch plywood was suspended from the ceiling by a single screw (to my surprise as I unscrewed the thing standing at the top of an eight foot ladder).
I don’t have a lot of money to build this new space, so if you are feeling generous and want to support your favorite artist in the whole wide world, how about sending me a little donation on PayPal using the Chipin widget below? Even a donation of just $2.50 is enough to buy me a 2×4 or a sheet of drywall.
There are other ways you could help too. Buying a print from my Shop will also give me funds to build my new space. And if you live in the Huntsville area and just happen to have lumber that you are not using (2×4’s and 2×6’s), I will be happy to take them off of your hands.
So now that I’m done begging, let me share one other thing that is keeping me super-busy this month. Next Thursday, March 18th, I will be giving an artist talk at Lowe Mill at 5:30 PM. I plan on talking about my art work, my influences, and even showing some old videos. It is a lecture, but I will try to keep it entertaining and non-lecturey.
If you are on FaceBook, RSVP for my artist talk now.
And yes, I will try to make a promo video for this event in the next few days.
