Hello again, those who still come by this way, or who have simply forgotten to stop watching me for updates!

I'm just checking in to let you know that I'm still around, and that I do still look at all your wonderful work, despite not commenting...(sorry 'bout that!).

I am still drawing and writing on and off, and have recently bought a nice new camera, so fully intend to inflict the fruit of my continuing struggle with creativity upon you at some point in the (hopefully) near future

I have a couple of bits of news on a personal level which may make you smile if you're of a mind to do so; I married my girlfriend of eight years this past Friday, and despite it not making the slightest bit of difference in tangible terms, am grinning like an idiot, and slowly getting used to wearing a ring!

On the theme of getting used to things, I suppose I should also announce my impending fatherhood! All being well, this summer should see me morphed into one of those sick inducing, coochie-cooing new parents (or should that be one of those empty wallet-ed, bloodshot eyed new parents? ).

I only hope that I can live up to the task, and raise him (yes him!) to be a creative, open minded sort of fellow...I have to admit to being a little scared when I contemplate the seeming enormity of all that's to come.

And that's that for now...I hope you're all well and thriving, both personally and creatively; as always, my sporadic returns remind me keenly of the overwhelming talent to be found here, and I am glad to form part of the dross which makes you all shine that much more brightly!

Sleep tight...
