My God, after such a long period of down time painting wise I suddenly find myself involved in a surge of art contests one right after the next. The rain lady piece was sent into The Society of Illustraters 2009 competition and right after that I'm working on another piece for Scythemantis's Nuckalavee competition. Its like somebody upstairs decided to give me a boot in ass or soemthing. Not that its a bad thing mind, I could use the practice and the gallery could use a tune up.

But really I've been trying to concentrate on the script writing, if I don't update, its cos' I'm battling writers block and trying to make sense out the jumble of nonsense rattling about my head. It has to be done even when the work dulls the senses and makes me want to reach over and start playing the ever living shit out my FFXII.

Dog wise, we haven't had any luck bringing a puppy into the home yet, I'm in contact with a wonderful lady named Cheryl who got me on her call list whenever a litter looks like its in the works but thus far 2008 was a dry season. Here's hoping that in 2009 the rains come in.
