Everyone remember Stefan? My 7 foot German roommate who moved back home after 6 months in the States?

No?

Well here’s a picture of him in a canoe.

He commissioned me last month for a painting of monuments from around the world. He gave me a list that freaked me out. It was long and I had no idea how I was going to put all that stuff onto one canvas. I tried working it out in a photoshop analog and that was the worst part of the whole process. Everything just fighting for space with eachother. Obelisks and arches and statues and stadiums and walls and palaces.

I was going to include his list here but I’d like to see how many you can spot in this early stage painting. They are mostly obvious, but there are a few that I hadn’t really known the names of before taking this commission on. Oh. Thaaaat’s what it’s called?

For all you Olympics fans, here’s a video of Michael Phelps. Talking about Hellboy 2. No idea.

Today it’s back to the 300 workout. Wish me luck on getting it under a half hour.

On Monday I did a kettlebell ladder workout that destroyed my lungs.
