Long time, no updatey! My broken right hand is healed up, & I've been trying hard to catch up with commissions I owe clients. And my good friend Tony Leone from MassArt has hired me to create between 200-300 illustrations for a cool book he's designing! Things are busybusybusy. I'm still unpacking in the new apartment & getting back on track after moving 3 times at the end of 2010, but things are awesome.

Speaking of cute, Frankensteiny recovered from 2 lump removal surgeries (both benign), one on his leg, and one on his inner eyelid that required very intricate stitches:
He was his usual spazzy self within a day of the surgeries. And Mr. Giles luckily healed up fast after scratching his cornea:
I'm going to try to post way more often from now on!
