Hey guys. I've been MIA here for ages. D: Things have been going pretty well. I've got a few freelance jobs to try and finish up before my mom comes to visit next week, but I thought I'd post some sketches I've been doing for the Art Slam LJ community. The premise is that you do 92 days of sketches on a particular theme. Mine is...

EDIT: OMG BEST DAD EVER (except for maybe Noah Bennet)!

Sorry I didn't post sooner. Saturday at 11:45 Pam and Roberta from GPA-Nashville came by our house with three wonderful boys - Pete, Joe Buk, and Storm. It was incredibly hard to pick which of them to adopt. Pete is petite for a boy, sweet as can be, lazy and quiet. All wonderful traits. :) He seemed more like a good dog for a first-time greyhound owner, though, and he looked so much like Guy, who we lost a few weeks ago, that we decided against him. It was a tough call between Joe Buk and Storm, so we asked Pam and Roberta which one would have a harder time getting adopted. They said that in normal circumstances, Joe probably would (he's all black with just a couple white markings), but Storm was in fine form, chewing on everything in sight, and that bad behavior wouldn't earn him points with possible adopters. Joe Buk had also gotten a couple growls from our mixed breed, Azu, so we thought that Storm might be a better choice. He's still a pup - he'll be three in April - so he's been a handful so far. He's proven himself very clever, though, and has already shown improvement. :) He has a lot of potential!

Meme from telophase:

Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

The closest book, 藍像 Japanese Tattooing: Ransho, is mostly photographs, with no text on page 56, so I went to the next closest:

"4 Finger Dance Deselecting an object, selecting a path, and moving it horizontally"
