Martin's Working Late

Martin is known for being the zombie artist, simply because he's always so tired out by his work!


Very few sounds are heard from Martin's room. It's normal for a room to be quiet just after twenty to three, but in comparison to most rooms, Martin's is actually quite a bustle! Most people are asleep, or sat looking at screens. There are no active screens tonight, and no sleeping souls. There is the clink of a brush tapping a shot glass which has been used for storing water. The brush dips into the water and swirls around for a couple of seconds before coming back out to be tapped against the glass again.

Martin draws his brush back to him and picks up a slightly darker pigment. He has mixed several shades of the same colour so he can paint a realistic looking skull. The only light in the room comes from a desk lamp forcing Martin to see only his work space clearly. He does not care for the clock telling him how late it is, only for the amount of work he has left to do. But his body cares and he's feeling tired. Recognizing that he may be about to fall asleep on the job, Martin reaches out for the can of Buzz Boost, his favourite energy drink. Unfortunately, there is but a mere drop left. The can gets shaken furiously in attempt to free any more drops of drink, but nothing.

Are you working hard as an art student? Don't overwork yourself like Martin; that said don't be too laid back either!
