Hopefully this time I'll be able to stick around, and not disappear. Sorry about that!

When I logged into DA again, I had 185 Hot Topics, Miscellaneous, Comments, and Journals. Ooooooops! I'm trying to work my way through them, but it's going to take a while. I'll try to reply to everyone as soon as I can. And hopefully upload some new artwork soon. Must do some more Avatar related pic (ASN has an interesting contest running). Some non-Avatar pic are also in the works.

Pumpkin time will be coming soon, then turkey time...and then OMG how many shopping days is it until Christmas? You'all have a happy fall!

Yes I'm still alive... But I've been neglecting DA, and for that I'm sorry. So many projects to get done, and no time for the fun things in life. Unfortunately, this state will probably continue through August. I'm apologizing now for any delays in sending out thanks or answering comments.

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer!

Yesss!! My left hand is working again. Of my last two pic: 'Blue Velvet' was done entirely with the left hand, and the new tablet, and Firemaster II was finished with the left hand & tablet.

I think of this latest problem of the lame hand, as a learning experience. Since I wasn't able to draw with my right hand as well, as my left, I was forced to find a new way of drawing. In the end that was a good thing. (There's nothing like becoming stuck in a rut, and not knowing it.) There was a quote from a movie (Conan, maybe?) that said "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger." Oh yeah!

I've reached the age where normally I try to ignore birthdays (OH NO...not another one). But this year I got a Wacom Tablet for my birthday. Yahoo!!

Of course, my left hand is still in a brace (getting better and better), and while I can control a mouse with my right hand, a pen is out of the question. So it might be a little while before I can use the tablet. But, things are definately looking up!

The good news is: I'VE GOT OVER 2,000 HITS. Thank you everyone! You're all wonderful!

The bad news is: That about two weels ago, I was doing digital drawing on the computer, and overdid it. Now my left arm isn't working right. Since I'm left handed, no more digital drawing for me. And...since I've got a brace on my left wrist, no more drawing in the old sketchbook either. So, hopefully this will improve soon (last time it took six weeks), or I'll have to learn to draw with my right hand.

I have improved to the point where I can use the mouse with my right hand, and type a little. So I'll be trying to catch up with my messages. But I'm afraid it will be slow, and I apologize if my answers are short.

Happy Spring to all of you, and here's hoping that you have the best of times!
