I DIDN'T DO SHIT..... (life update)
Posted 4 years ago
Long story short... from last Sunday to this current Sunday I didn't do SHIT... I barely got work done while I stressed myself into a depressive state playing
games and sleeping horribly. Life just happened to hit with with every plausible bullshit in that one week and I mentally checked out. I am GLAD that I don't
feel that 'worry' or it would have been a LOT worse for me. Shit happens? Deal with it. SURE! I can handle one or two problems at a time and take it head on,
but when it's like EVERYTHING? Medical, Credit cards fucking me over, Insurance dropping, my sis's paperwork due in 2 weeks, my taxes got messed up... and
to add a cherry to the top, I had just started my monthly female bullshit...
In the span of last week? Sighs... let's just say, I took a mental vacation... I'm sorry no streams happened and the arts got delayed by a week. BUT I am done
with this mental break and it's time to tackle all of these issues one at a time. Day in, day out. Taking a day to work on arts and the next to work on the
aforementioned issues, BUT! By priority rules. Sis paperwork is massively far more important than even me getting my stimulus. Medical is also in the same
lane. These 2 are life altering. The others can be dealt with. Penalties involved but not massively life changing and can be built back up.
I got my timing Schedule written up and I got it all laid out. There's gonna be some fucked up sleep for the rest of this month, but this needs to be done.
Working on art is gonna be a bit spotty when I steal some days for emergencies that'll need my attention when the deadline gets closer. So I hope you guys
who gets art understand. This is gonna be a gauntlet run. The fucking timing's gotta be just right and I refuse to let it overwhelm me. CAN'T AFFORD TO.
Thanks for reading guys. I try to be as transparent when it comes to my shitty life as a full time artist. It's fucking terrible sometimes. There are no vacation
days... and when it does happen that we do disappear, it's because we focused so much on the work, that we fuck up our health or other issues arise that we
are FORCED to take that 'vacation'. WHELP... vacation is over and time to get back to work!
For a heads up, I am gonna be streaming today and opening up a commission spot. Keep an eye out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! GOOD & meh UPDATES?
Posted 5 years agoI say meh... because it happens every so often that throws me off getting any kind of work done. To EXPLAIN that.... you know some artists get hand/wrist pains from drawing too much that for a temporary yet annoying painful span of time are unable to work? YEA WELL for my dumbass, I LITERALLY get leg/ass/back pains that forces me to stop working. I TRIED all kinds of different ways to get work done. Standing (It exacerbates the leg pains more), laying down (It exacerbates the back pains more), and I'm about ready to throw a fucking brick through Ciner's window. SO! While I was at my Aunt's, I guess it was forced vacation. I loved it. It definitely helped decompress the mind and body and the pains were JUST ENOUGH to remind me not to fucking work while I was there. BUT! I did manage to stream ONCE and paid for it the next day. Yuuup... fun times. BUT! I did manage to get a bunch of other works/design/updating files/redoing schedules/webcomic brainstorming among other things so it wasn't completely wasted.
I have a GOOD feeling for this new year, despite all the bullshit that's gonna be happening for the first couple months. It's to be expected honestly... but it's like going through the pains before it gets better. I've got some decent goals for this year. So I've got plenty to do and I am excited! Hoping you guys plan for good things this year too! NEVER settle for the stench or stagnation!

UPDATE: 2021 is gonna be a good year
Posted 5 years agoTo be honest... that's like a false positive... cause 2020 was/is the lowest point in everyone's lives... and ANYTHING after this shit year WILL or SHOULD be better. My patience ratio is now recalculated to 100% for every thing else and 0% for stupid. My give-a-shit-o-meter has also declined in massive numbers. My fields of fucks is STILL barren. My family STILL annoys the fuck out of me, but I gotta give it to my aunt for the last few days of this old year rolling into the new one a hail mary save. MVP as you would call it?
Cause out of my ENTIRE family; she is the only one who understands my stress. Couple days ago, she gave me a call to ask if I wanted to house sit for 2 weeks. Needless to say I fucking jumped that opportunity like if it was free vacation. Cause to me, it really fucking is and she KNEW I would welcome it. I TOLERATE people for the most part, I can be social, go out, have fun, do parties, all that extrovert shit, but for the most part. I LOVE MY QUIET SPACE. Being alone. It is fucking amazing. I'm not talking 'my own room' I'm talking about my own space. First night, I got great, UNINTERRUPTED, a little more than 8 hours of sleep. Fucking RARE for artists man... and today I woke up naturally. No tiredness/grogginess. I am definitely not wasting this opportunity. Taking me a couple days to get into the groove of how my portable setup works and I am really liking it! For those who are curious: ROG M15 laptop + Huion Kamvas 13 (which doubles as my second screen) + keypad. No more desktops for me! Streaming is gonna be the next test. Laptop is handling my program loads like a BEAST. So I am happy with my selection. I'm getting my schedule in order, planning next year's major goals. I am getting shit DONE.
I'm gonna enjoy these 2 weeks... and trust meh... it's gonna fly by SO FAST.... but it's a good recharge to tackle all the shit that's gonna come pouring for the next year. I hope you guys still planning your resolutions, cause even if you don't stick to them, just writing it up kickstarts your attitude in WANTING to change things for the better. So get to it!

Question: Copyright or downright stealing?
Posted 5 years ago
Hey guys, lemme give a brief rundown:
I like collecting figures and I am very picky on the selection that I would get the garage kit of it, if it no longer exists.
(So if any of you have the Bloodborne Maria statue and don't mind parting with it... lemme know! XD) ANYWAYS!
The question:
Can I commission a 3D artist to draw a figure/character design that is a straight up copywrite of a movie/game/series
and have it printed and painted for me personally? It is not nor ever meant to be for mass production or reselling. It is
for my personal collection. I am curious honestly if there is a strike against such a thing. I know it still falls under fanart,
but is it on the 'fine line' I am not supposed to cross?
Shout-out for help.

Fellow artist needs some assistance in making the rent.

SO! I am testing something new. To see if it works because a lot of people have been wanting stream comms,
and with my horrible case of slow-assness, epic bad timing and not everyone being able to make it during the
times I DO stream, some of you miss the chance to get some sexy arts. Let's keep it simple:

UPDATES: Life | Comms | Online Store Questions & Patreon
Posted 5 years ago- - - - LIFE UPDATE - - - -
Whelp.... as you all know, 2020 is shit. We're gonna have to trudge through it for a couple more months... then spend half of the next year getting the stink out.
Most of you know I moved back to Florida cause of multiple reasons. Last journal explains that and with the way things are now, everything is on hold. What I am hating the most is that I haven't found my groove yet to get consistent work done. I hate it, but it happens when you have a routine and life just decides to mess shit up for you. It'll take a bit, but I'll get it back eventually. Nothing much to add but trudging through shit.
- - - - COMMISSIONS UPDATE - - - -
In Stream commissions will commence as usual. Honestly taking it other than in stream takes me much longer. I DON'T know why... and I absolutely HATE dragging on producing one piece of art more than I need to. It shoots my drive down so bad. If there is anyone I am missing by all means, contact me via notes so we can get all the 'loose strings' cleaned up.
- - - - ONLINE STORE & PATREON - - - -
Do any of you use online pre-made eCommerce sites to sell physical AND digital items? If so, who do you use and why? Cause I am looking for a site where I can pay ONLY for the months that I am planning to keep the store open. It makes no sense to keep it open 24-7/365 for such a small fry like me. I am really interested in building a whole e-commerce site.... nooooo.... what do you guys suggest?
STUPID PATREON charged for September and I was going to refund but the shit got transferred to my bank account. I was SHOCKED honestly... first time anything moved so damn fast when paying out money was concerned. I can refund you if you like, BUT either way I am working on 8 sets of pieces for everyone (large print, mini print and sticker) who was still on the list. Doesn't matter the tier you were in. Just having you linger there even though I am not charging anyone at the time was plenty of support for me ^^. (SO! If you do want a Patreon refund, note meh! and I will get it to you asap) I AM planning to keep Patreon CLOSED till I figure out what the fuck I want to do with it.... to be honest.. it's like all the artists are doing it and feels like an over-saturation. You got Patreon here... Kickstarter there, Kofi, Subscribestar, Onlyfans etc and I don't feel like ANY of it is for me.... and I am thinking Gumroad would be more fitting. Not feeling pressured to consistently push content out when the drive drops and you get content when YOU feel like it too.
Either way... it's all a learning process... I'll figure it out eventually... XP

UPDATES: Life | Commissions | Extras
Posted 5 years agoHey guys!
Sorry about disappearing like that for the last month (or 2), but I am sure you guys know how the whole world is on pause with everything going on as of late. A LOT have been happening on my
end and I've been juggling all kinds of shit trying to keep safe and stay sane.
Covid - yea I haven't gotten sick (don't jinx me) but I am taking VERY seriously. Stay safe people and wear your masks. This is not a 'rights' issue, this is simply being kind to others. Don't be a cunt.
Landlord - If you haven't heard from my roomie yet (Faint/Skech), Our landord got merc'd/murdered. That one came out of no where. Happened in early March just as the pandemic shit storm was going
down and it kind of left us with the question of wtf is going to happen next with our place. Thank goodness I kept in touch with his secretary and we're fine... for now. (as long as we keep paying rent)
But now housing stability is a bit rocky. No one knows the details of 'who done it' but if you must know how he 'died'; it was either axe/machete/cleaver. He was 'chopped'. Yea... that really happened....
Moving - Not because of the above situation. Fuck, I would love to stay longer in Ohio and leave before winter rolls around BUT I got more paperwork coming up next and this is the LAST one. It's the longest
one yet and I need to take care of it. NOT to mention covid made it JUST a bit more annoying cause now we have to go through the additional hoops they'll create for us... yay... so.. back to Florida.. another yay...
We're mostly done with boxing everything and will be leaving in a few more days. More disappearing off the net.... yay!
NOW, as for Commissions! I am NOT taking any new comms (the list will remain close) till I finish the old list. I've been in a rut cause of all the bullshit I had to deal with recently (see above for details) and I plan
to finish that before I move on to anything new. I will only accept in-stream comms. That happens.... well when I stream. If you follow me on picarto you'll get a notification whenever I am on and I actually stream
VERY often. Other than that, the Commission Form will remain closed.
Onto Extras!
- When we're in FL I am planning to downsize and sell most of my stuff. Too late to unbox, list and ship any of that now and yes, I plan to make that list here. I've gotten quite the DC animated Blu-ray collection,
(doubt anyone is interested.... but I guess we'll see) Artbooks and Figures.... and then my Huion KAMVAS GT-191 V2 tablet. Bought it on Feb 8, 2020. I gave it a true run and in the end I've come to the conclusion
that Screen Tabs are not for me. It has caused me more wrist and shoulder pains vs having my simple Pen Tab; and because I am constantly eyeing the screen, I tend to get headaches faster. I prefer viewing my
monitor from a distance, vs inches away with faceful of the Screen. I fucking love this thing and hate it at the same time... and it works flawlessly, but I would like to go back to the retro Pen Tab. MUCH more comfortable.
- I am FINALLY in the making of MY ARTBOOK! Plan to get the layout of it done within the next few months and honestly... I need to advertise better... I am terrible at the social thing... maybe I should get someone
to do the social thing for me.... ooooohhhhh ideas... ANYWAYS, It'll definitely be a collection of sketches and art I have not posted online (I mean... I barely post online already.... SHADDAP CINER & SWEETS!!) and
it'll DEFINITELY be NSFW. I don't cater to kids. If you got any suggestions of what you'd like to see, feel free to let me know and I will see what fits best!
Till I see you guys again! STAY SAFE NERDS!

Life update and Commissions
Posted 6 years ago- - - - LIFE UPDATE - - - -
So for the most part the year started shitty for me and well... things have turned better.
My Grandmother died yesterday. Yeah you heard me right. It definitely got better....
So among all the rush, a million calls and last minute decisions I am back in Florida for
a week to take care of things while my dad (that's his mom) fly back to Trinidad to attend
the funeral. I mean EVERYONE is going to be there (minus me of course). So lemme explain
this so you all understand. I have no love for this woman or even 90% of my family and
that's me being NICE. So don't worry about giving me condolences. I've suffered plenty while
she was around and I am SURE it's gonna be all the same even after (because of this family).
The FUN part was that my grandfather was rich. We're talking millionaires. When he died, the
grandmother made SURE that everything that was in his will signed over to her. EVERYTHING.
I wasn't knowledgeable back then when we signed "stuff" then nor do I care now. BUT, I am
QUITE excited to see this family go all MMA on each other. If I get anything out of this, COOL.
If I don't, COOL. Not interested. What I AM interested in is to see how it all ends now. Cause
if you don't know me already; when it all goes to fucking hell and shit starts burning; fuck the
marshmallows; I'm bringing more gasoline....
So while I am here in Florida, I am going to take it as my alone time to enjoy some peace and
quiet and get some damn R&R before whatever SHIT this karma bitch decides to throw in my
face anytime something good happens...
- - - - AS FOR COMMISSIONS - - - -
Obviously I won't be able to stream. I only stream from my desktop. I will be opening up the
form for commission slots. BUT! Please be aware: In every stream notification I posted, there
is an ongoing list. Not very long, but IMMENSELY overdue and needs to be completed before
I start any new commissions. So to put it plainly, there IS a wait time. The only difference is
that I am not restricting it to just single characters like I do in my streams and the details are
far more forgiving this way.
I am determined to get this old list done while I am here and move on from this slump I've
been stuck in. Honestly.... I have to thank you all so much for your patience through all of
this. I have definitely shown my unprofessional side and I rather not continue down this shitty
path. Time to shake things up! Change and tweak my style for this new year and learn new things!
You can fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/4xnsGrxYQ3unGTjj8
I will send invoices/fa notes when I select your submissions! Thanks so much again in advance!

Here's the fun part. We'll be rolling up RIGHT WHEN THE HURRICANE makes landfall! FUN TIMES!
Well if those of you who remember a few years ago, I had to take care of my mom's paperwork,
now, it's my sister's turn! WOOT! She was honestly my ONLY concern and the last hurdle before
I can officially say I am DONE WITH THIS SHIT. I am SO damn happy for her you have no idea.
BUT as usual, there are many steps to take before it's complete, so I'm off to take care of it.
I'll be gone from the Aug 31st and will be back on the Sept 7th. Hopefully it doesn't drain me too
much to get back to the arting asap the following week. (This also explains why I have been streaming
so often. Making up the funds for this trip plus paperwork fees, bills and rent is no fun task at all).
I'll be dragging along this dumb bitch 
lockworkorange to meet up with this dumb bitch 
scarlet-frost
and then I'll be heading off to my dad's to take care of paperwork with sis and THEN we're all driving back
together. Sounds like fun right? HAHAHAHA suuuure.... XD
DETAILS ON COMMS AND PATREON
As the list goes for commissions, I got 3 more to go on my backlog. 1 YCH to finish and 1 refund
to issue. You think I'd get all of this done within the month... but holy hell... it is a lot more
challenging than I thought. Not to mention patreon stuff which I NEED to get done. So I'm gonna
have to figure this one out asap, cause it is not working out for me. It was supposed to be for fun
and it's beginning to feel more like a chore. Not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but we gotta
talk fellow patreons!
It felt like I trip, rolled in dirt and landed on my keys... and I'm a bit disoriented. Going to have to
figure out my art schedule AGAIN not to mention my sleeping schedule... will never be the same so
I'm not gonna even fucking bother with that. But honestly, it's nice having to redo the way I work
cause it definitely gives me something to look forward to and I like having a goal to achieve. Like
rearranging your room once in a while. Cause you do get tired of the SAME OLD SHIT...

Hey guys! For those who did not know, I was on a mission last couple weeks to work my first convention in Miami and it was AWESOME. I
learned a lot and would love to do another con soon. BUT till then, I got other priorities to take care of. I just got back from that long ass
roadtrip (Sunday) and after being well rested and getting shit cleaned up I am ready to work on my schedule and get commissions done!
Got a lot to do this week. Commissions will NOT be opened till next week (aka when I get the old list completed) I will be responding to emails
and notes. Bases are normally listed for sale on my website (velvetbunny.com) but the site has been down and I am currently working to get it
back up asap. I will be streaming soon too! Arting will be back to a regular schedule. If I missed anything let me know! Till then....
Let productivity resume!
Commissions are open!
Posted 6 years ago
2 hours of sleep, 2 more commissions to go and a new tablet! LET'S GO.
I am going to go through the old list, so if you submitted something on my last form,
and STILL want to continue (cause I figured some may not want the spot anymore) just let
me know here and I will review the info and send out the invoices.
Just fill out the form here: ♦ COMMISSION FORM - Open when I am accepting. Closed when I am not. Limited Spots!
So it's one of those "not so good news" but not bad?

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of activity here, I have been working my literal ass off trying to get a LOT of shit done before the end of the month.
Working on commissions, getting Patreon rewards going, old owed work done, redo my website so I can get AT LEAST the bases back online, getting
inventory ready for a con I gotta do come May, finish my taxes and so much more in between. What DOESN'T help is when I start to get pains from
sitting TOO long working on all of this. Whelp, my body couldn't take it anymore weekend past so I was forced to stay off the comp for a few days. I
TRIED to work from the bed but that only made shit worse. This happens every few years or so and it couldn't come at a WORSE time and when it
hurts, EVERYTHING wants in on the pain action. Makes everything so damn inconvenient; I GOT SHIT TO DO! UGH....
I will be returning to my regular streams soon enough. I think I am DONE with taking anymore regular commissions, because from the BEGINNING
I really wanted to get out of the "I owe this much art" and have it taking me weeks to finish versus when I do stream comms, I can finish the art
THAT SAME DAY and move on to other things. If you can't make the streams, I AM SORRY, but for the sake of my health, I am not going to compromise
this again. Every now and then (meaning RARELY) I will offer regular comms, or YCH, but I cannot do this again, lest I fall into the same trap. It makes
it WORSE. I end up disappearing for days working on commissions offline, because most of these are requested to be private. When there is no activity,
people worry and I get notes, emails.. whatever asking for progress or if I forgot about them. To reassure you, I have NOT forgotten anyone.
My head's a fucking mess right now.... no matter how much I write and rewrite my schedule, something always comes around to fuck things up. I get it.
I'm not a machine and nothing ever runs smoothly. Trust me, I am USE to all the bullshit. A lot of repetitive bullshit, but all the same SHIT. Sometimes,
I just need some "me" time to defrag the brain, reorganize my schedule and tackle this shit like I always do. So bare with me, while I fuck up this lemon
life THINKS I deserve.
Commission list closed! 3D sculpting/printing request
Posted 6 years ago
Thanks so much for the overwhelming request for commissions guys! I am truly honored!
The list is going to be closed for now. I'm going to go through the ENTIRE thing in batches
so everyone who claimed a spot would get art. Just be patient! Those who are up first, I
have sent notes and paypal invoices out. As soon as those are done I will send out the next
set of notes and invoices till I complete the list.
NOW AS FOR THE 3D SCULPTING/PRINTING...
I want to commission an artist to sculpt a 1/3 scale male and female torso with arms and
an egg head (no facial features). This would be used as a display for my sis's dolls clothing
for our upcoming convention, so it's meant to be printed. No movable parts. It's a simple
mannequin and I have NO idea of the process required for preparing the file for printing.
Does it differ when it comes to the printer itself? I am planning on getting EITHER the FDM
or SLA/DLP. Still deciding which...
Anyways! If you know anyone who is up to the task, let me know! I got less than 2 months
to get this shit done and the disease of procrastination is setting in.... >.>
Awesome and NON Awesome News (Open for Commissions!)
Posted 6 years ago
SO... website got deleted... I knew I backed everything up and as I realize when transferring from one hosting plan to another, they then to delete EVERYTHING.
Spent the entire DAY rewriting 45% of my codes back to its original state... no where NEAR complete. This is gonna be fun. Patreon rewards are a bit delayed because of this...
I feel like I am being too overly ambitious when I don't have to... I dunno.. I do like the FULL customization but it does take time.. T.T I need to re-evaluate how I do things...
this is becoming tedious and I BARELY get anytime for myself.... (I welcome suggestions!)
Commissions are OPEN! Yup. Taking regular comms this time around. This is for mainly those who've always wanted to get art from me, but never seem to make it to my streams.
Here is the form: https://goo.gl/forms/5V8A1ID2WzDYlXLk2 (have at it! I will respond to them as soooon as I wake up.)
Thanks as always for being the BEST community mah dudes... you guys will always be the best!
Signal Boost: Friend in medical need. URGENT!

You know one of my WORST fears as an artist is that I loose the ability to use my eyes. Well That's happening to a fellow artist
friend of mine. She had swelling behind one of her eyes and it has severely impeded her ability to work properly. She managed
to get it under control by going to the doctor and taking treatments for it but it is costly. So she is doing the best she can with
what she got, but it doesn't take away that it's going to take some time and not to mention; Money. So check out her YCH! Help
her remove those limitations and get her back up to where she needs to be. She's not asking for handouts. She's willing to do
the work so any help would be greatly appreciated!!
!HELP THE ARTIST!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Posted 7 years ago
8-9 hours LATE but you know.... I slept through it all. I always do XD
SO hope you guys enjoyed your holidays! Ate lots of good food, got mediocre presents but
still love them and had fun with family CAUSE I got none of that... XD Florida was ASS. I
thought I would have missed this place but I LIED TO MYSELF. This place is the WORST. Well
I heard many say that further North is fine (I'm in Miami Beach) but I believe that to be a lie
too. BEFORE we even drove into the state I got the assholes of the road and I was like "ahh...
guess we're close to Florida". I miss the weather, but that's about it. Fuuuuck everything else
about this bloody state.... UGH...
Whelp now that my little rant is over, I'll be back on the 4th guys! Got LOT's PLANNED for the
new year. Resolutions are empty promises, 'tis why I prefer to call them goals, cause I am
determined to get them completed. Clean slate and debts paid are gonna be paid off in full.
Lot's of good things this time around... so expect plenty!
As usual, you guys have always been AMAZING in your support and I truly appreciate it. So
thank you so so much and stay awesome!
Plans for December:
Posted 7 years agoGot A LOT happening this month so streaming sketch comms is gonna be a bit sporadic. So I'll be getting regular commissions done then.
I am determined to finish it all before the new year rolls around.
Making a TRIP to Florida on Dec 14th (driving) so that's gonna be fun. So I can't overdo the streaming, as much as I would love to.
Don't know how stable the connection will be so we'll see how that goes as well. Will be back Jan 4th. So till then.... be good! XDUPDATE to my last journal
Posted 7 years ago
.. damn.. you guys are amazing. Thank you SO MUCH for the responses. They DEFINITELY helped me figure out some of my issues.
You guys were right. Maybe I AM stagnant here as in 'same shit, everyday. same place" and a TRIP more than a move may help me
disengage the stupid thoughts in my head and reset. I do want to travel to a different country... OUTSIDE the US... and just enjoy
another social lifestyle/culture.
You guys were jumping the gun on well... guns XD. I wasn't talking about that or blatant racism, irs/taxes (but still damn good to know!)
I was talking about the whole American life is like cable tele. It's the same shit every facking day. You want something different/new and
all you get is a marathon about the Kardashians, the same god damn movies for the entire day and the same news. The people are also
almost the same. I go out and almost everyone is like a fucking clone. MOST act, dress and behave true to their stereotypes. Rarely do I
see people who are uniquely different (be it attitude or the way they dress) or maybe I am people watching too much... and because of
that there is nothing to inspire? Like all the movies.. all the books are following the same construction... same character developments...
Maybe I do have too much apathy... (is there such a thing?) or I am just getting old... >.> I need drugs... (aka tea)
So I've been thinking...
Posted 7 years ago
.. yea not a good sign but, it feels like if you write it out to the public maybe someone might just open up more ideas/choices that could help you. You know?
Sounds stupid, I know... but hear me out. It just feels like living here in the US has just become... 'not fun anymore'. It feels like all I have done is just going
through the days planning so many great things, trying to get your life in order, wanting to do more, get better, be healthier and before you know it a year is
already fucking gone. You have NO idea where the time went. All the procrastinating burns through the hours. PRAY never to get sick in this country, so many
new laws and regulations are making shit even harder. It just feels I am stuck in this stagnant circulation of the same bullshit every year. Moving to another
state won't change shit. I do the same damn thing every time. Eat, sleep, work, pay bills. Maybe it's the mentality of this place? Of the american people? I
can't even see it cause I am so integrated here, but it just feels like vibes of others just weigh on you and personally affect you and it feels like I am pushing
back against the tide. I don't know what it is and it irritates me not knowing what to do or how to fix it.
Thing is.... I've been seriously thinking of moving to another country in general. Probably England. I was born in one of the commonwealth countries so I
GUESS that makes it easier on the paperwork. (need to do more research) Please... tell me what you guys see? From outsiders looking in, for those who
visited the US and live in England... what are your pros and cons... help make the fuzziness in my head clearer...
