A little less melodrama

So this post is comes on the tail end (I hope) of my cold from heck. I have been seriously lacking energy lately but this week I did manage to accomplish a submission for the Ripple blog. If you haven't been there I heartily encourage you to visit. All the artwork (most in the form of artist trading cards) are for sale. For a $10 donation to either The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies or The International Bird Rescue Research Center you can buy an original work of art.

Well without further ado, here's the first of what I hope to be many submissions.

a tale of woe

The last couple of weeks have been pretty rough. My desktop power supply was fried during a storm, I caught a major cold that I'm still trying to kick, hit a deer with my car, fell holding my camera so now the anti-shake on the lens malfunctions and had to complete wipe the drive on the desktop after a virus issue. I've had the desktop back up and running for a couple days now and I think I've almost got all the software back on it. *sigh* Now, of course, both of my Seagate external backup drives are acting funny. I think I really hate Seagate. I need to try and find a high capacity Maxtor drive, the Maxtor I had never gave me a minutes trouble!

All this bad luck I've been having has got to be paving way for something good to happen. I hope so anyway!

Now that I've got all that off my chest, here are a couple of the latest sketches.
