So here we are in 2011. First of all let me apologize for the long time since my last update. I am very gratified to see this page go over 20,000 page views, and reach 400 submissions, and I would like to thank all of you who have offered support and critiques through comments and 's and especially all of those who have chosen to watch this page. This year started hard with illness, doctors and visits to hospitals, not only for me but for those I care about as well. As a result I have not worked on any art in a long time, and the initial images I have completed recently have a somewhat darker tone then normal. This will change shortly, and I apologize for any warnings that may appear on my work, I tend to take a cautious approach to these things.  Anyway, things should be back to normal shortly, as I stated this year started badly, but I am usually willing to give things a 2nd try and see not exception here.  Lets try this again shall we?
