Each year I do this looking back thing regarding my musical exploration/revelations, I anticipate this list to really short. Maybe it’s the compression of time and how well my memory serves me at the end of a collective year, maybe…
So, I’ve been chipping away (hehe) at the paint job on the blasta bommer. I was almost finished with the initial outlining of the metallics when I realized I hadn’t added any larger painting details like the checks or glyphs…
