This Blaze, one of the post-Smithsonian masks, do you recognize him from the sketches I posted yesterday? I had intended to do the whole figure, I still might, but I was too taken with the masks at that point. By March, when classes were over, I did my internship on Sundays as well as having 3 part-time jobs. One was at the Tribeca gallery I would later work more days at, but first I had a big solo show of my own to prepare for. Which meant, since I had no money, I needed to frame 60 pieces by hand in less than 2 months - when all I really wanted to do was paint.
