Wow, it's been a whirlwind summer for me! I'm just back from MegaPlex, my first time there, and it was a lot of fun! Florida is really hot in the summer... ;) Then my wife and I stayed the rest of the week and did some theme park hopping (Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios). Thanks to everyone who made my first time at MegaPlex such an enjoyable one (and special thanks to Tycoon and KP, who made time for dinner with us!).

Now I've got a busy schedule to return to, mostly working on a big commercial assignment due for September 1. As soon as I can, I'll be working on commissions and processing the scans for the last few cons I've done art at. And it's actually nice to be home... I feel like I've been traveling non-stop since the beginning of July, which is super fun, but also tiring (especially after my travel misadventures at Anthrocon...). I'm ready for some home-cooked meals, green smoothies, regular meditation and exercise, and some quiet time with my girl at home.

Hope you're all taking some time to relax during the summer, stay cool, and enjoy some fresh fruit (one of my very favourite things about summer!).
