The new PC isn't working out so great. It would be OK if you were using it just for web and such but I have been scanning all my old photo's to archive them and the new PC just chokes when you get too many files in a folder. So although I am critical of it it wasn't designed to do that kind of thing so I guess I would have to let it slide. A piece of advice though, if you plan on getting one of these find someone who knows Linux to give you a little help.
I haven't had my hands in the clay for a while. Every time I have a failure like I did with the Orc I tend to stay away for a while. I have been thinking though that I should try some busts. You know just keep it simple for a while. I'll let you know how it goes.

PC problems continue.
Well the old PC has pissed me off enough that I have replaced it. Well sorta, I bought one of those "green PC's" I had been hearing about. It doesn't run on windows but uses something called "G os". It is actually a version of Linux. It was only USD250 tax and all. I picked it up and it has been doing pretty well. I am glad though that my nephew is Mr. Smartie Pants when it comes to Linux. I did call him to work out a little problem. The office chair finally gave up and dumped me on the floor. I am using a big ol chair that should be in the corner of a formal living room. It's big and clunky but will have to do until I can save up some money for a new one.
I started a new sculpture of an Orc, Didn't get far. Armature and initial bulk up. I decided to cook it at this stage to see if it would give me something to push against. Well after I got it out I noticed that the pose is wrong and now I'm kinda stuck after cooking it. Oh well back to the drawing board.
I am now hopelessly addicted to diviantart.com. You can see my stuff over there. My user name is Papabrvo.
That's it for now........
