don't forget to also medicate yourself down to 20 heartbeats per minute, and to botox your eyes to not blink so much...

Yeah that is where he lost me.

Quote:

Nearly 10 years ago he found himself blinking more and more rapidly, because peering through the microscope for long periods strained his eyes. Now he has botox injections around his eyes every few weeks to hold the muscles in place. Sometimes, when his eyeballs become too dry, he has to move his eyelids over them by hand.

Oh good, I'm not the only one then.

Quote:

More than once he has dropped completed works as he removes them from the microscope, but they are so small he has been unable to find them again on the greasy carpet of his studio.

yeah, while I sometimes get mad at myself for a lost hip disc or small decal clip, rarely do I lose anything I spent 3 to 30 months working on. I have to think I'd devise a system better than "greasy carpet" to capture dropped items I had just medically poisoned myself to make.

Also, I find it difficult to wait mere minutes for paint to dry before trudging on with a project. I don't think I'm cut out for spending 6 hours to partially carve a single letter.
