South for the Winter...

[Amano Jyaku]

I hope everyone had a super awesome Christmas! I made it out of Seattle by the skin of my teeth... remember that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark? The one where Indy barely has enough time to grab his hat? Yup. That's how close I was from getting stranded in Salt Lake. No offense to the fine peeps of Utah. But I wouldn't trade it for the amazing weather here in Miami Beach! It is a welcome change from the uber frost of the Pacific Northwest. Nothing but mojitos and tasty pina coladas by the water. Life is good. I got *way* too much artwork to finish coloring... worst part is I forgot my drawing tablet. Shea, I know... d'oh! For all u artists out there that do digital art will know how much of a time saver the tablet it vs trying to use the mouse. That just means I spend a little more time doing "research" of the female anatomy down on the sandy beaches.

I wish everyone in PL-land a beautiful and prosperous 2009!!!

Cheers and beers,
