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…

You might remember Kanji Puffs. One of the girls on Angie's blog had to get several of them excised from her throat I think (the girl's throat, not Angie's).

Thank you David, nice combination of text and illustration! And funny as usual...…

Another great story by David. I am so used to him coming up with the greatest tales and fictive characters that I'm not sure anymore... this is a true story, right? David REALLY used to typeset the haiku journal Frogpond for Elizabeth and Bruce Lamb, and inserted his own work from time to time?! Help me out here, I'm only a gullible Cherry…

This is the first envelope I got from David, and it got me instantly curious. I am very fond of his stories, he is such a good storyteller as well as a talented artist. This one transported me into the world of a nursing home and I could just picture the scene so clearly. Residents at the nursing home being really tired and bored and probably upset but... you don't mess with nurse Dalisay, the flower arranging channel it shall be. Beautifully writen, and that TV, I don't even want to switch…
