Woooo, finally made 5000 pageviews. Perhaps I should give a prize to the person that hit it...

Just one thing... When I went to check _I_ was #5000. :D

I want to thank the people that commissioned me. I've got 4 E-mailed requests (only E-mailed requests are considered "firm"). I've got sketches at various levels of done-ness for two (one close, another needing a lot of work). Hopefully I can get them closer to done this weekend. The rest of the week is turning out to be busy... namely two nights of 3-hour classes to learn a piece of software at work.

There have been some improvements in my situation though. I'll be getting a birthday gift from the folks in the form of a printer/scanner. I sort of need the combo because I do need a "copier" for a zine I contribute to and some other things. I'm looking more to something with very good print quality so I could offer up prints for some past pics. Any suggestions for a model? I'm leaning towards a Canon. Color laser has been sort of ruled out because reviews I've seen suggest that the quality might not be up there with an inkjet, and the cost tends to be quite nasty on the ones that are decent at images.
