Yeah, right when I got really motivated to be productive, I came down with a bloody nasty plague illness. Like some combination of a really bad cold and bronchitis, was bloody miserable. If you were wondering where I vanished to, that was it...sorry!

The good news is I'm back, and I've just got a lingering cough now that'll take a bit to leave me alone, but otherwise I feel fine and definitely no longer too fuzzy-headed to work on art. I may have to spend awhile running round with a butterfly net trying to catch my muse again, but at least I can see the bugger flitting around!

So yeah...still alive (er, unalive?) and ready to tackle new stuff again, woohoo!

...though it's gonna take me forever to catch up on all the messages/submissions in my inbox, yikes!!
