So, while I very occasionally drink, the last drink was 2008. Not for any good reason - just low on funds and typically more desiring of Indian food than beer. I don't use drugs or smoke, but this task kept striking my fancy. It then occurred to me that the typical consequence for many of using alcohol is a hangover. Now that: That I can duplicate, and often do with migraines whether I want to or not. One of the ways I survive a migraine day is painting and editing stuff between face plants. The past week has been *ahem* one of those days.

Painting in near dark has some interesting results as well.


One thing I didn't do was take pictures of myself during the process. The very thought of a flash firing filled me with such horror that I gave it a miss - but Ground and Down is rather a portrait of the experience, so perhaps that'll do. Figure two days of work in this mess, and somehow I managed not to barf.

Still not human. Face plant #27 coming up. Wish me luck.

Coming back to edit because what with the pain I played some video games - driving games specifically - and discovered that a game fresh on the market (Credit to Project Cars, which allows custom skins) was a perfect use for some of the painting.

So, painting with a migraine. Editing game files and graphics with a migraine, and then driving the freshly skinned game vehicle into walls, other vehicles, and whatnot. I figure migraines and video games provide the perfect, "Nope, that would be a bad plan in a real car," Example.
