I should take the time here to apologise to my loyal readers (there must be one of you somewhere) for not being dutiful in posting.  I have been very busy working on artwork.  The better I get at using the GIMP, the more I obsessively create.  I get on obsessive kicks and this one might really last a long time since no piece of art is ever the same (unless you are a forgery artist but I'm nowhere near that good lol) At any rate, I shall endeavor to try harder and in the meantime, if you can't find me writing, you can always find me "painting" at DeviantArt.
