Not this year, but it was still a good Christmas. Hope you did too.

Sorry it takes so long to reply. I keep forgetting to check my page. We really should get alerts or something.

Haha, just re-read what I posted... I mean in 2013, not 2012 :P

Well, I'd love that and look forward to the possibility in the future - something I am considering in 2012, though I think I'll be more successful looking for an endorsement from LAG first, as I use a Master Series Arkane (flagship guitar of theirs) on stage

Thanks for the compliment about the music by the way - it's always cool to hear, and if you like you can check out the rest on the links in my sig. or by googling 'Disarm Goliath' to find what you want. Do you have any more music besides the song on your UG profile?

Hey cheers for the add, and the comment accompanying it! Nice track on here, and I'm also insanely jealous that you have a TriAmp MkII - I'm a H&K fan, and play a Switchblade live.

I probably should but God only knows where I'll put it. I may have some rearranging to do.

I did It has a warm, well rounded tone with a lot of punch. It's very clear too, there's no muddiness at all.

I will as soon as I get the time to resize them. Stupid file size limit. :P

Just a couple of various stages of sanding. Been waiting for it to stop raining long enough for me to finish it.

The problem is though, I'm trying to build a viable profession out of this, so I need to be selling paintings, but if I sell them they aren't always available for any exhibiting that I want to do, so I need to be painting lots of pictures purely for exhibiting, but if I'm doing that I'm not selling any paintings, which I need to be doing.
It's a bit of a vicious circle at the moment, but hopefully actualy doing my own exhibition will create sales and commissions.

Ippon wrote on Jan 16th, 2012 at 8:10pm : Very nice ... do you exhibit?

I have done, but nothing major and alongside other artists. I'm working towards doing my own exibition though.

well it's freezing for me lol but I'm pretty sure that it counts for normal chilly weather

and I couldnt cause I have a little brothar to take care of, so when they were gone I was a full time mom (;

The P-Bass has a neck and some new controls. That's it so far. : haven't had time to refinish the Stingray yet but I'm planning to get to it some time next week. Might refinish my Jazz bass after that since it was already so scuffed when I got it.

Learning a new language requires lots of practice. Maybe you can join an Italian guitar forum, try Rosetta Stone, check out some junior colleges.

yeah, it's a bit hard to learn by yourself. but a challenge is always good (;
anyways thanks, and good luck to you with all the languages (;

once you'll learn Italian too, come and help me a bit (;
