Despite still dodging a hailstorm of financial crisis, car problems, miscellaneous things blowing up and having to rehab yet another house I have managed to survive half way through 2014.

I managed to make it to Wild Nights on a prayer and a rental car and it would have been a lot more fun if there wasn't a perpetual black cloud of stress and mishap hanging over me the entire time. It's amazing how much can go wrong and blow up in the span of 2 days. Car breaks down, get a rental car to make it to WN and then find out once I get to WN that my debit card has been compromised by some asshat in Saudi Arabia. Things got fixed in the weeks after WN but I wasn't able to fully enjoy it like I was looking forward to. I did however get to introduce Johanna the Lich to the fandom. That was kind of fun. I will probably be redesigning the head for that costume next year to fix some issues that I've found. The new design should hopefully be just as awesome and not have the issues that Johanna V1 has.

In other news I have another beasty on the table that I'm praying that I can get finished in time to premier at Gen Con in August. I'll take a few WIP pictures but nothing will be officially posted until after Gen Con. It's just 60 days away and I still have a sculpt to finalize and molds to do. A handful of folks know what I'm up to and have seen bits and pieces in person. So if you have seen or know what I'm working on please keep it hush-hush until I post things. As a side note, there will be items that I will be able to offer copies of from my production molds. I may even sell a couple of molds that I mad that I have no use for. This probably won't be until September though since I am feverishly working to get what is effectively a fullsuit done in 60 days while working a 40+ hour a week day job with a side order of house work. No sweat.

Stay tuned for more monster goodness...
