Captain's Frames 1.6

Earth Date 15.10.15

Another quick one, we all know the drill now.

Both are printed on cloth so they first had to be sown on a board to make them presentable.

Once again, they go to a client, at least the works are mine as well so might even get paid well this time, or nah.

A quick one this time, two works.

Not much to say about these ones, a fishing line was used to sow the cloth onto the board, so that it could be admired in all its splendor. And glass on top so no filthy, dirty hand can soil it.

Yea, I've got nothing.

After the better suited frames were chosen, they were implemented with love and caring, with the integrity of the works in mind.

A noticeable improvement on the old pieces of driftwood suffocating these paintings, I'd say.

The client was very happy with them too, which is nice.

A whole month has passed, I was called back to the Galactic fleets outpost orbiting at the very edge of this solar system shortly after my last update. I was given the strongest immuno shots devised by our sharpest scientists to better battle the local bacteria. The most notable downside of these was a very steep decline in my ability to record memories and make sound judgments in critical situations. Thankfully my objective to further mix into this planets population was not harmed by my condition. I've begun courting one of the local females, in hopes of learning more about them, of course. The concept of this, this "currency" still confuses me. It seems I must "pay" for the materials used in my studies. The price is high, as one might expect, if one was to expect a comedic outcome. A Galactic Commander, however, such as myself does not find this turn of events amusing.

The female, however, has shown sympathy and warmth to my new blight. I have not shirked on my duties as an art framer, pictures will follow.

I've come to realize that the student money given to the lowly individuals on this planet is in no way enough. Their government must be trying to get them in debt as soon as possible. Such vile tactics remind me of the Slaver Conglomerate, thankfully we were able to defeat that disgusting nation of debauchery in AD0001556000.

I was informed that I'd be able to increase my income by taking on customer works. The material fee would be paid by the customer, upon which I shall add my own fee. Onwards and upwards!

These frames are an absolute disgrace to the profession in which I'm studying undercover!

They were actually nailed onto the frames, what barbarian is responsible for this heresy?

Gentle righteous fury was used to free these paintings from their prison of sharp suffocation.

Away they go, may these mockeries of frames be forever damned.

I will post the finished frames at a later date.

Here you can see the step in framing, well, some of them. The method is similar in this as it was in the earlier series of three prints. Except this one wasn't pinned to a wooden frame underneath. So the first step was making it acceptable to be framed.

I wrapped it around a thick board of foam core, made sure it was on the board straight and begun the meticulous work of needling it in place with string. Even though the board stays untouched by foul string and prickly needles, it actually holds in place quite nicely.

The less resolute member of my group questioned my sanity, not knowing that I took intensive mental training before setting a foot on this planet.

Once again, no pictures of the cutting or putting together of the frames or glass. If the cut glass fits the frame, it's time to clean it up.

After the glass has been cleaned time and again, small plastic strips are placed to keep the work separate from the glass. To uphold the safety and integrity of the work within. After that it's time to put the back board in place and staple it in. Never mind the mistake below (the protective cardboard wasn't long enough, don't worry, a new one was cut).

After that, brown strips of glue tape were installed to make sure no dust would ever get in. The hanging wire is attached and voila! It is done.

These are among the first framing works I finished. The originals were made by myself. The vigor with which I threw myself upon this task made me forget to take pictures of the actual process. Damn this atmosphere! It must be working its foul tricks on my brain processes.

Finally I've been allowed to integrate the local "internet", gifted to me by the Overlords that guard this crude invention. How it's use makes me yearn for The Galactic Empires Communication and Recreational Holonet ™.

I caught myself a few day cycles ago in an act that I found rather worrying. The subtle indoctrination must be in full effect for I was "decorating" the living quarters I was able to procure for myself and a local individual. I chose to cohabit to better hide under the radar. My mission is of paramount importance.

Now that I've been able to join the world wide intellect of this planet, I can begin this task of a "blog". I will not shirk from this task. Although the condition of my rations is troubling me, almost two thirds of it have succumbed to the decay that is natural to this planet. I'm forced to consume local "food" for nourishment. The spices help.

Locals seem impressed by my ability to imprint images on surfaces. They value individual expressions, art, as they call it. Yet their governments appear unwilling to fund such endeavors. What an odd little species this is.

I've also found their beverages to be quite intoxicating. These alcoholic concoctions, of which whiskey is by far the superior, are to my liking. Even though they have side effects. I can only hope that they'll be able to work out this flaw.

I've integrated myself into the local system school perfectly, the locals suspect nothing. The group I've joined seems to be studying how to "frame" pictures, paintings etc. The lucrativeness of this remains to be seen. Food appears to be edible, no mutations or substances containing poison so far. Took necessary shots before mission launch anyway, better safe then sorry.

I've been taught the basics of this "framing", appears simple enough. Yet the number of attendants is small. Must be a genetic mutation of some sort, maybe conditioned for this since birth? Additional data will have to be collected.

Despite my intense training to reject brainwashing and mind control, I find myself ecstatic towards this "framing" ever since I finished my first such task. Nothing to worry about I'm sure but will check the air for nanomachines, bacteria and various gases.

I will maintain this log as well as my integrity throughout this mission whenever possible.
