I really hate to go, but I haven't been out lately much anyway. In real, I have a family member about to undergo major surgery, and I have to be there for her. If that comes off sounding like I think of it more as an obligation than anything else, maybe a small part of me does. I've been trying to rein that part of me back in and get on with being a helpful compassionate son of a bitch! LOL Yeah, not happening too well is it. Some of you are going, "Gee and I thought he was so nice." I am nice, I just don't handle stressful situations well, and the worst part of me tends to come out. In any case, this hiatus should give those of you who know and love me and still owe me art *wink wink nudge nudge* time to finish. If you don't owe me nothing, it'll give you time to make lots of pretty pictures for me to look at when I return. Gotta remember to drop one regular email before logging off tonight. Love you all, the artists here have sort of become like really good friends or siblings I actually like. The non-artists who hang out with me and talk and chat and stuff, well they're definitely good friends. Be safe while I'm gone. I'll be back soon and will be looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can.
