Alright, I think it’s safe to say I fell off the face of the Earth, yet somehow I’m still here to tell the mysterious tale. Where to begin?

I wound up getting that Intuos 4! A reeeaally early Xmas present for me! I love it. I got the Large size, and already I can feel a huge difference over the Intuos 3. It was worth every penny!

Second I’ve been doing a lot of side work, mainly for practice and peoples I know. One of which was a design I submitted for my relative in the USAF. And I was happy to hear that the design I made was selected from a pool of designs.

Third, I've been looking around for an art studio to join. Unfortunately the local community colleges around here don't offer anything, and the art studios in the city nearby are too professional for my level. I did find an art studio a block away from my house (go figure ), but it's only a K-5 grade level studio. However after checking the studio out, I found out that a petition is currently underway to open up the studio for all ages. Nevertheless I already signed my name and will vouch to have them open it to the public.

Which is another thing I wish to say to anyone reading this entry at this very moment. I would like to improve my art skills to the next level. I don't belong to any group, school, or organization, so I have no idea if I'm getting better, worse, etc. No one except mostly you guys here sees what I'm making. So please critique my work in a constructive way. I won't get mad. I promise. Does something look off? Something doesn't look right? Speak up! I would like some input on my works. It could make for some good conversation. The only thing I ask however, is please don't say "This doesn't look right", and then not explain why or have no reason why something looks weird.

In other news, I took George to his first vet visit. That was… an adventure. They day of the visit, I put him in his carrier and put him in the front passenger seat. On the way there, he must have thought I was taking him back to the shelter, as he was mewing the whole way there. I felt like such a monster as he was scared out of his mind, but I had to bring him in for his check-up. When we arrived at the animal hospital, it donned on him we were at the vet’s office. He went into his own little world after that, and when he saw the metal table and the guy in the green suit, he then hid inside the sink, thinking no one would see him. He then jumped onto the counter, and went over into the corner and just stood there staring at the wall.

I wouldn’t trade him in for the world!

Well I had to give him some medicine as he had a spot of Gingivitis, and, for the record, whoever made those Pill Pocket treats, is a genius.

Other than that, we had a tornado roll through the town south of me last week, and a bolt of lighting hit my house yesterday! Woo!

Now, if I can get this first page of my comic finished, everything will be gravy.
