Sideways Bricks - Fatal Construction

Making epoxy brick veneers that will go vertical instead of horizontal.

I uploaded the previous text from my phone to this blog. It is a little difficult to think and type on the small device, but admittedly, short burst of note taking is all that this blog is. By using the phone I can update post with images that chronicle my experiments without long explanations or justifications. This blog is often drives into deep thought about the work that is redundant and repetitive, just for the sake of mixing up the words just like I mix up my materials. Since I don't think anyone reads this anyway the short phone post with images may be just as good as the longer post about my progress and lack thereof.

Frankly, I need to move on to a new blog that is focused more on my day job, the one that makes me money. I love making these photo fresco frames and developing a lighter and tighter method of mixing materials into art-like bricks, but I have to make money again and there really isn't going to be any significant money coming from this work to pay my bills. The brick structure concept comes into play in the sense that once I am removed from my home and have defaulted on all of my bills, then I can take all of my screens into the woods with my big truck and build a home using these techniques. At that point I won't be able to experiment, so this work will have to be the basis of my construction techniques. I should still be able to pay rent on my storage, where my excess supply of frames are, in the catacombs of hell at the end of the earth. I will travel through hades and grab load after load of screens, then buy the cheapest materials that have proven to be successful at building these curved structures and build.

When I run out of screens I can run ads on Craigslist and collect old frames from other printers around the country, then buy the local materials and find a place to build another structure, and on and on. Fatal Construction.
