Use plenty of linseed oil, if you want to put it off by six months.
Turpentine dries very quickly. Linseed can take years to really dry.
Even funnier is using lots of linseed oil on the bottom layer
and then putting a layer thinned with turpentine on top.
The turpentine layer dries and seals off the lower layer,
thus preventing it from drying. Ever. Nice wobbly surface.

i'm just using tube paint and mineral spirits and trying not to knife
anything on. if the sun comes out after i've finihed it i was thinking
of sticking the easel and everything out in the backyard and letting it
help dry the paint
by-the-by - are you still painting at all or has your nursing duties put
an end to your million-painting painting project?

Mineral spirits dry quickly, I'd say. Couple of days, max.
Don't know if straight Texan sun is perhaps a bit too harsh.
Colors might fade or crack. But that's guessing.

Won't make a million, definitely.
Only did some five thousand last year.
It would take 40,000/year to get done in 25 years.
Did finish a new CD, though, called Track Suite. It's sick.
I *will* get around to putting that and my previous CDs online *soon*.

make sure it can be downloaded, and not streaming...
I can do shit like SomaFM and JACK-FM with no problem
but they aren't like bandwidth misers like usual ISPs, tho

I'll put oggs and mp3s on archive.org, I think.
The names of the tracks just need further consideration.
"Hum", "Tec-1", "Tap-tap" may do as working titles, but yuk.

Not sure I really want to do nothing but paint for 25 years, actually.
And there's the problem of paying for food, material and storage...

Blading season usually starts mid-April. We don't get half as much rain
as Britain and the sidewalks are wide and smooth asphalt. Mmm. Can't wait.
Helsinki has a nice set of underground scenes with lots of cool people,
but it's not that big that people are standoffish. Every scene has
room for more.
Even if you're a fake, who just wants to look sophisticated by
appearing to like experimental music, people will welcome you
with a nod and a smile - knowing that fakes will fade soon enough
when the screaching starts...
I love Helsinki.

yeah. I'm a low-maintainence animal that can run on less than a
pound of food per day, and not use a bunch of eatware for it, too
plus I don't use much toilet paper, and I clean catboxes...

since I'm perma-acididified, I'll listen to almost anything

I barely got thru this winter, this year, and I'm still fucked
