Christmas Commission #1

Commission for Phaedra and Marius Karoy

I started a commission project this Christmas season. I had never undertaken anything like this before and didn't know what to expect. Turned out that more people took me up on it than I expected. It was a ton of work and extremely stressful, but I'm glad I did it, and look forward to doing it again soon.

 New pencil sharpeners don't do it for me. No number of double AA batteries can provide the proper amount of power necessary for me to get the point I need. That's where the Apsco Giant 6 Hole Pencil Sharpener comes in. 6 holes to accommodate everything from golf pencils to pastel pencils to those giant starter pencils we had in kindergarten. Packed full of gears and blades working in perfect harmony to make short work of anything stupid enough to makes its way into one of its holes.

It weighs about 15 pounds. It could be used as a murderweapon in the game of Clue. And for some reason,it is a device that makes me very happy.
