The genpet creature mould took forever, and was a lengthy process, as I haven’t made a mould (a serious one) for a while. But this one is definitely my best.

It’s 4 parts. 2 plaster, 2 silicon rubber housed within (the plaster is a shell that keeps the flexible rubber in place).

When I poured the first part of silicon (3rd step) I eyeballed the set-up, and figured I’d probably be wrong. Well, I wasn’t. I got the mix right within 3grams! I used 447 grams exactly. And it was a perfect pour. Forgive me for being proud, and shocked, but without a scale, I doubt there are many pros out there that could do as well.

Me and V also had an interesting conversation the other day revolving around my limits. She wonders if I’ll ever be able to not be a perfectionist, and worries it will ultimately get in my way of actually completing things on time when needed. I’ll may not be able to just say, it’s good enough.

This worries me as she’s right, and I dunno if I’ll get over it or not.

whenever I doubt what I do, there’s always a voice deep down that says the same thing, and it always says it with an unwavering compassion and determination, Whenever I look in the mirror, it’s there even in my eyes.

I’d rather give my best and fail, than give into mediocrity. It’s that simple.

This is how I live my life as of late, and it’s the driving force not just behind each individual piece of art I do, but why I am an artist. Being “just good enough” would never make me happy. I could finish this project and have time to drink every night and party and watch movies and hang out. But I’d rather not be social at all, and be insane by spending every waking moment I have and skipping sleep when needed, to make this thing as great as possible.

I must always push to be one step better than I was the moment before.

This is what I do, I do not expect my friends to understand, and while they will all be making $50k+ salaries while I am just getting by, living off macaroni, I’m sure I will be the butt of many jokes. But it's what I love.
