Storms & Studios

Posted on by LittleFears

So I thought I’d share a photo of my not-Instagram-worthy studio today. Also, I thought I’d share what yesterdays Storm Deidre did to my new homes fence. Pssh. The fiend! The Fears are on hand to help drop a pallet on a salvageable panel that was pulling the rest of the fence down. Cheers Piscies and… Oh… Deer…

Now, there’s a studio pic. It’s a mish-mash of the cheapest furniture I could get with odd second-hand bits and bobs. It ain’t very stylish but it is very functional. The studio includes a spacious dog crate used as a desk extension (because apparently, my desk chair is nicer for pups to sit on).

The PC was a self-build and cost £300’ish for a 16gb ram, AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with a bunch of old hard drives in. I’ll cover the PC in a future post about the tech the Fears use.

I ended up with two small monitors instead of one big one. A £20 19″ monitor combined with a £4 “16 flat screen TV. Both second hand. The 16″ TV is absolutely dire. It has less than 720p resolution. The monitor is absolutely awesome. I know 19″ is too small for most people nowadays, but the picture is so darned crisp. It’s an odd one because I cannot find it listed anywhere. It has a 1920 x 1020 resolution. But no matter how much I search, I just cannot find any 19” monitors with a resolution that high. Maybe it was one of the first 1020p monitors that were too expensive to make? Whatever, It’s small, but I absolutely love it.

The lamps are of course, meant to help with future videos. The window doesn’t get much light as I’m around the back of the house. So when I’m videoing myself drawing I need every bit of light from my left that I can get.

Oh, that box against the back wall is a delivery of art-prints. I’ve had them nearly two weeks and haven’t gotten the buggers onto Etsy yet! Hopefully, this week…

Some hot-picks furniture links.

Phew. Ever put studio pics or other creative spaces photos online yourself? Leave us a link comments so we can have a perv over your own creative spaces and writing desks.

    1. Arf. To be honest, that’s because I own nothing. For a later blog, I’ll take a snap in the other direction into a small supplies cupboard. But everything I own is actually in that room. Quite the minimalist haha.

    1. Cheers, Garfield. I’m not a fan of second-hand clothes, but there’s a lot of things it often feels daft buying first hand. Helps bite the budgie!

    1. Cheers, Kyle. Once you’ve done it once, it’s pretty easy to do. It’s often just a case of checking everything works with each other.

    1. As a desk chair, no. It’s bigger than it looks and my arm’s don’t rest on the arm bits when typing. For sitting and reading in, yes. It’s flippin massive and feels very well made.

  14. What a fun visit to see your “digs.” Sorry the storm tore up your fence, but at least you repurposed, Whoops! the word is now “up-purposed” according to my millennial students.
    Gotta stay “with it” or at least make the effort…LOL

    1. Arf. Cheers, Ray. No idea what the current word for it is, so I’ll stick with “I used cheap and second-hand stuff.” 😀

  15. That’s a cozy looking thing you got going 🙂 Thrifty isn’t bad, comfort doesn’t have to be costly. Besides doesn’t look like it’s possible for the Fears themselves to make a mess in there. Hopefully, that’s the extent of the storm?

    1. Arf. Yep, I’m a minimalist in almost every aspect so there’s rarely anything that can be made a mess of. My fence (and Deer underneath) was the only storm casualties. Deer can walk it off. 🙂
