Heading into 2016...

Questions? Comments? Voices? Crickets?
2015 started out wonderful for me... by the end of November I'd lost literally everything I had put together at the end of 2014, which were all the things I thought made 2015 good.
...so. I wander, forward, I hope. I crawl until I can trudge. I'll trudge until I can walk. I'll walk until I can jog...
I have changed surgeons regarding my back. He's suggested the same beginning treatment as the previous surgeon, but unlike the previous surgeon, he will call my insurance company and tell them himself why this is necessary. So I can actually receive the treatment this time. BTW folks, if it weren't for Obamacare, I'd not have insurance right now. I'd be on a floor in mass amounts of pain, unable to work but not broken enough to get disability... so consider that. Please. Obamacare is assisting me to have the medical attention I need so I can return to work and be a 'contributing member' of society. Odds are in the long run I will need disability anyway though.
Second. I just got back from Montreal. I went up for a week and sat in "Ink Your Soul". If you live near there and are interested in 'watercolor' style tattoo, I highly suggest going to see JF Biron. He's incredibly friendly, quite knowledgeable and very talented. Next I'm going to Seattle at the end of January, to go into shops there and convince someone to let me learn for two weeks... Damon Conklin maybe?!. After that I'm going to try to get into a local(ish) walk-in studio for February. Also, AirBnB is pretty awesome.
So that's about it.
lastly... my new meds from the new surgeon just kicked in.... O______________________O

I am going to try to make 2016 the year of perpetual stable growth... a good proper foundation. Strong. Something no one like J will ever knock out from under me again...
I thought everyone had forgotten about Metallic Wolf Noyoki but me! <3 you just made my morning.
anyway, maybe I'm mistaken in that. good to hear you're better, and that you now get serious help. :) and much success with your career!
Thanks for the well wishes!
I feel like I should draw a picture of Autumn going headtohead with a locomotive in a blizzard or something. This is how I feel.
Btw, I have your drawings basically done. I'm going to be scanning them today. Do you remember my paypal?
