I am not dead... I will leave the gory/boring details of my current state of affairs to the imagination as they are long, and grim.

I will say: Season affected disorder + current state of the world + feelings of total alienation from this reality and the people in it + getting sick + getting snowed in and prevented attending a Con I was GoH at + having two big time job offers as a profession book illustrator offered, then taken away + seeing no hope of ever advancing my career as a professional artist + deep depression = Me sticking my head in the sand... The past 6 months have left me wrecked.

I am sorry for not keeping everyone updated. In my defense I am trying to crawl out from under the very heavy, and jagged wreckage that is my world right now. A world I don't feel I belong to, nor do I want to live in.

For those waiting on art or commissions, I have been trying to get the studio (and my self) up and running. The studio computer had 2 of its 3 hard drives fatally fail (C: and D: drives). While I don't “need” the studio computer, it provides many conveniences (Scanner, References Studies, Music, Streaming, etc.), I would like to have it working. The studio itself had become disorganized, and while it may have looks somewhat clean there were things out of place, stuffed into corners/boxes, and lose sketches thrown into what ever file, folder, or case was about. My little supplies had migrated through the apartment, and the studio had grown cold, and neglected (much like me). It has taken a week to get all this back in shape (it will take longer for me, personally to do the same).

I am working on a commission on this list. Just saying... So, I am working, or trying to.

That is all...
