This one was indeed too late for Christmas, but no worries, enchanting David, you still made it on time for New Year's wishes. That's some amazing Water Dragon there, and I love the way the card is aged. As for the little quote, exactly what I needed to hear. Just perfect. Thank you for sending, I love it!

And I couldn't help uploading your rejected…

I need your help to fill it up again. So: Inchies wanted!!…

Rod Summers sent the New Year greeting with fireworks and shadows...

an optimistic face here, however!…

This arrived from Ectosplamic Records and I was thrilled to see that all those hours practicing the electric fife has paid off. (David, when do i get my royalty check?) Larry Poonish was always such a joy to work with and luckily his tuba tones were so low you…
