The last two-three days where a blur. When I finally got home I must have spent 95% of my time here knocked out until right now catching up on my sleep.

With that said, I had a pretty great time at Elliot's Spring Gathering: Las Vegas. Granted for most days I was drunk half the time... and really drunk the other half... but I still remember enough to know I had a good, mostly not-embarassing time... hah! Had a swell time with friends new and old, had some fantastic Brazilian Grill with meat flowing for days... drank more in one fateful night than I have in the last few years combined, and even got some art done and round a game of Magic which I haven't done for almost a decade! I also got to show some folks the project work I've been keeping a secret and right now I have more confidence than ever in the work that I'm doing, something I want to share you all when the time is right. They did have some other cool events going on... from dances, to private pool parties, to panels from voice actors and even an actor from the Game of Thrones! Pretty awesome stuff all around.

There were a few things that I would have liked to have happened differently... but in the end it was out of everyone's control - we were at the mercy of the hotel's decree. But whatever... I would definitely do it all again!

I didn't talk to very many people ahead of time... much like the last one I appeared by surprise so I didn't know what to expect. When I got there I sent a few feelers out and was directed to a private conference room and much to my surprise I found  caltroplay scappo gunmouth bonk gnaw patto canucklehead and  berryfox! The next day finding  faint and  spearfrost, all of which I spent most of my time with. I did hear rumors of  zen,  zaush,  nimrais, and  kaji among others but yeah... this event was packed with awesome people/ artists, even if my sheepish nature keeps me with the faces I'm most familiar with!








As for a more personal update... there isn't much to say. It was just a very bad situation that was physically, emotionally, and financially draining. The whole nephew/ custody thing just kept getting worse and worse the more the courts and alas my own sister tried their best [and in some ways succeeded] to screw me over and the responsibilities of caring for the sickly nephew and equally needy mother just dominated my daily life until recently when the government finally acknowledged their permanent role in the situation, getting my sister her own apartment once and for all and the daily care they both were in dire need of, my role in this drama finally winding down.

So yeah... sorry for being gone but I had a lot in my plate though now my role in this mess is winding down once and for all so you will be seeing more and more of me. I may even be launching a website soon... who knows! I already have the host and domain name picked out and paid for in advance. I've also done a ton of art on the side, including furry art that has yet to be seen thanks to the mobility of my super awesome UMPC/Tablet, as well as several updates worth of content for my own webcomic (just not enough content done in advance for me to launch yet). Now that I'm getting more and more time back I'm finally getting back into the swing of things which includes but is not limited to getting back to commission work! With that said I won't be opening anything, I'll just be finishing what I owe and then focus on other things from there. We'll see!
