Preparing for departure...

posted by Peter, Baphomet

Hey,

my last days in Augsburg and my heart is bleeding... after some months without a job I got a offering from a publishing company two weeks ago... a quite nice chance to do something different compared to my studies... of course I accepted the job, but for this I have to leave Augsburg and move to Reutlingen (about two hours by car). It feels like if I have to say farewell to all my friends and to a city I lived in for about seven years. I know this is some kind of bullshit in my head as I´m not really far away, but it makes my heart heavy-weight...

But there are also positive thoughts about moving away: so many new chances for my life and leaving behind all these crappy months without a job in which I was sometimes near to insanity. This keeps my mood up. So I´m very curious about the next few months... we´ll see how it goes ;)

As the job-offering came quite unexpected and I have to start the job next Wednesday, I was not able to find a proper room were I could stay for a while till I find a nice flat... so I have to stay in a youth-hostel for some days and then move to a guesthouse for three weeks... a not very pleasant but very expensive shortterm-solution... but I think this it how new chapters in life always start: you can´t prepare yourself for everything properly. So in these times you´ll learn a lot about yourself. How spontaneously are you really? How well can you solve problems without being prepared? How do you handle a new social environment? I´m really really curious!

As I´m only taking my colours and brushes with me to Reutlingen for the first month, I prepared some miniatures yesterday: Ckaarakk (Bane Legions) and the new version of Krell (GW). Ckaarakk will be part of a bigger project for the Duke of Bavaria this year (so I changed some parts), Krell will be for practicing some new ways...

Results of yesterday evening:


Of course I will not forget the second part of the Step by Step. I´m taking a lot of pictures as the Horseman slowly reaches the final stages. But it will take some time till I will be able to write the article because I need my big computer (which ill stay in Augsburg for the beginning) to prepare all the pictures. But here you got a collage of the current stage... last Monday Roman and Raffa stayed at my place for a painting evening and I painted the bust all night long... I´m quite satisfied with the results, but there is still a lot of detailwork to do :)


With the best wishes to you all,
Peter

  10. Making something new away from the old paths isn´t easy. But 2 hours to Augsburg aren´t too much. Still near enough for a bootcamp before hvb ;)Wish you the very best in the new period of live.

    Horsemann is great. Love him.

    Greetings Serafin

  12. good luck in your new job!

    2Hrs from Augsburg isn't so bad(it's only marginally more than what I travel each day to work and back), you can visit the jungle often if you want to.
