After ONLY a bit over 6 weeks of construction and dozens of hours of cleaning... My renewed studio is up!



The place is still not ready, there are many small (and not too small ) details yet to be done, like painting and putting up the batroom door, but I MUST restart on my illo work before I get more stressed...

This little construction took away 6 weeks of my time illo time, for it's was not only construction that needed to be done, but also lots of purchasing construction materials and movinng the furniture around. I had to ask for a lot of off-work permission hours to be present at the construction and supervise the whole thing, that was the price I had to pay in order to make this remodelation affordable. Lots of things went wrong, most of them got corrected. The whole thing remained withing budget, but in the end, I ended up without money (actaully, in red numbers) because I just couldn't get down to work and thus no work was completed and I couldn't get paid... Now not only I haven'tfinished my work, but I'm very close to losing many jobs because I'm much overdue on deadlines.

Why I couldn't get down to work? I had to move all my stuff around and half my home was in "ruins", and the other hal was packed up with the stuf I had to move to empty the rooms that were under construction. Also, when the workers left, I needed to clean my whole place up so that the place was liveable. Between the cleaning and all the extra shopping I had to do, I had precious to no time to sit down on a dusty corner to try and get some work done.

Now the contractors are gone, and my place is still unfinished, but mostly there. Enough at least for my to put my desk and laptop down to return to illustrate all my duties. Why the urgency of this construction and the obsessive need to clean up? I have HUGE news on the personal and illustration studio side that I'll share with you in a couple weeks more ;)

Back to the drawing board!
