overall...maybe 10 or so hours done over 2 sessions

I designed it...yes and no. The inspiration came from 2 songs by Mount Eerie: "Log In The Waves" & "2 Moons". The image of the moon in the bucked wasnt directly alluded to in the song. What he mentions is that we don't see things for what they really are, and when you look down and see the moon reflected in a bucket, it is just a reflection. To see the world, you can't hang your head for you wont see the world for what it is. So, I interpreted in an abstract way. Maybe. The song is so short, and so bizzare, it can mean anything. To me, thats what it means. I can email an mp3 of the songs if you want.

So the idea was originally 2 ideas: the moon in the bucket and the log in the waves, but when i realized they could go together, i did.

I had a general idea of what I wanted: moon in a rusty bucket with the water flowing down the side, causing a big wave with a log in it.....I told him to be creative with it, have fun with it, and to make it better than what I said.

And he came through. It was fucking expensive, but worth it. Still waiting for Jeff's reply to see if he wants to design my next one.
