Living and Work Spaces in the Housebus

In the absence of being able to physically work on the housebus this week, I’ve been tinkering with my floor-plan again. My original floor-plans consisted of a living room area just inside the front entrance, with a work-studio in the back of the bus, both separated by a kitchen, hallway, and a bathroom. When I actually got my bus, however, it was a little shorter than expected, so I had the thought to combine the living room and work studio into the back of the bus, turning it into a small ‘studio apartment’ setup.

Howdy, gang!

If you’ve known me for any period of time, you’re probably aware it’s been a long-time dream of mine to build a housetruck for full-time living and working. The goal was to minimize my living expenses so I could pursue the kind of work I wanted to do: creating & selling my own art and comics, while being able to travel the country and exhibit at various art fairs and comics festivals. Well, this week that dream took a huge leap forward toward my new reality when I BOUGHT A FREAKING BUS!

StarSpeed Components, 08/21

Hey, gang! It’s been a few months, so it was only a matter of time before my thoughts returned to StarSpeed.

This week, TheGameCrafter sent out an email announcing a new component, the Postcard Mat. This 4×6 mat, they say, is perfect for player reference cards and such. As is typical when I get these emails from TGC, I started to consider how I might use this new component in my own game. The obvious answer to me was to replace the Racer Dashboards with these cards – 4×6 is already a bit larger than what I’d been planning to use. Also the fact that it wouldn’t be a custom laser-cut component meant I’d be saving quite a bit of production cost. So I started thinking about the rest of the components.

Hey, gang! Hope you’re feeling great today!

As usual, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my Works & Plans: where I am, where I want to be, and how I might best get there. Had a lot of thoughts this week about my online stores, and the projects I’m putting my energy into. Wanted to share those thoughts while it’s all still fresh.

Note: Nothing I write here is final, everything’s subject to change, this is just where my head’s at.
