(re-posted from my livejournal)

As mentioned earlier, Commander Kitsune set us up with some new desktops to replace the ones that were lost in the fire. I am networked with Ash's system and hooked up to a printer; a first in over a year.

What this means is that with a smidge of extra work on my part, I can finally be properly set up for pyrography again. Since my woodburner survived the fire, I am seriously considering setting up a workstation and taking on some woodburned portrait commissions in time for Christmas delivery. My hope is that the new mentality will help me actually get them done in time this go-around.

I've already set aside some basswood and will mill up some 6 x 8 planks tomorrow at work. I figure I can do ten super-detailed portraits of pets or people in the next six weeks. The deposits will go a long way towards getting me set up in my new place.

I'll make a proper announcement with prices as soon as I can.
