wedding centrepieces

Last Saturday (October 5^th) was my friend Hannah's wedding, for which I was contracted to make the table centrepieces. They turned out fairly bragworthy, and so I am sharing them pretty much everywhere. They may be found on deviantART or on Facebook (the Facebook link will work whether you have Facebook or not).

I started work on these in June. I finished two nights before the wedding. It was great fun and I am never doing anything like this ever again.

I've figured out what's up with LiveJournal! Clearly, they are staffed by hyper-evolutionary lifeforms that mutate to mimic the local dominant species! It explains their whole business model!

Come to think of it, there might be one or two people who read this who I'm not in other forms of communication with...

My brother has a Kickstarter for his debut album! (He has been on other albums, but this is the first one that is specifically his. It's a jazz "soundtrack" to The Odyssey, and it's really good stuff. There are a few sample tracks here, and a video of the entirety of Act I being performed here.

The drive has passed 50% after a third of the month, which sounds good, but bear in mind this means that all the family members and personal friends who could be more or less assumed to pledge have already done so. Now is when we need the kindness of strangers!

So here's the drive, and if you're into groovy jazz and/or Greek mythology or know anyone who is, please help! Remember, if you pledge, you won't be charged anything until the end of the month, and then only if he's met his goal.

I am 30 years old! It seems oddly unlikely, but there you go.
