...and your body suddenly needs surgery.

Thanks, everybody, for the wonderful birthday messages.  Sadly, I spent my entire birthday (and the next three days afterwards) stuck in the hospital because I needed emergency gallbladder surgery. 

So.....yeaaaaaaaaaah.

Yes, I know he passed away this morning. 

He was the nicest man you could meet; and the first person I drew art for who thanked me for it. 

I've gone through every tissue in the house since I got home.

Thank you, sir.

Oh hai.

Yeah.

Um.

Yeah, I kinda dropped off the face of the internet, kinda, didn't I? Lots has happened. Changed jobs. Got talked into going back to school for a master's in Special Ed. Little Sis is getting married. Got sick of dealing with people. Found out that I'm getting old (and that my bloodwork shows it).

Did I mention I have no free time anymore?


So, yeah, sorry for the radio silence.  90% of my drawings these days are done at work in a small sketchbook (8"x5.5").  Post most of them to my Tumblr, since they're just black and white sketches for the most part. 


I check my messages and respond to comments here, but that's about it.

Quick answers to some questions I keep getting.

 I do not do requests. Particularly from people I do not know.  (Friends, on the other hand, get art chucked at their head at high velocity. Right, Zilla? :p)

I am considering opening for commissions, although seeing some other more awesome artists opening up (Like Joe England), I feel I'm not worth the money. I may reconsider this if asked.  (Seriously, though, he's f-ing awesome. Go, give him your monies). 

No, I have no interest in talking about Moffat's Who. Shoo.

No, I will not draw your request. Bad troll.

If you see my art for sale anywhere without me mentioning it here.... let me know, please? I found some of my old Tintin/DW art on red bubble a while back.  This made me a grumpy old art monkey.

So yeah, I live!  Really!  Finally settling into my new job, helping out with Button Me Up! (who will be selling my buttons and jewelry at AnimeNext this weekend), and dealing and moving on from a series of tragic losses in my family.

I have been drawing, I swear!  If you haven't guessed, the movie reminded me of my childhood love of Tintin, but I swear to god I've been drawing other things too!  Look at my tumblr!  Lots of happy things!  ....And sad things too.  Oh dear.



Also, if you want a laugh, please read my exchange with a deranged Tintin art thief here: comments.deviantart.com/4/2231…

This is why I'm not on deviantart so much anymore.  Because someone handed out 'bath salts' to all the newbies.  

I give up.


So, uh, how you doing?
