OK Gang,

Up to this point I've posted about 87 deviations, given a duplicate or two here or there. I've decided to endeavor to post 100 total deviations by December 31st to end 2009 and my first six months actively participating on Deviant Art. Now for some of you more prolific and awesome cats, 13 illustrations is childs play I'm sure and you think I'm a king-sized slacker for setting such a mediocre goal for myself (Case in point, the Dapper One who is doing thirteen badass deviations in 13 freaking days for halloween). Others might think holy crap, he's gonna do 13 deviations in two months (case in point my studiomates at Tsunami Savannah who are equally if not more busy than I am). I'm not sure how this will end up, but I'd really like to make this happen. Worse case scenario is that I'll get about half of that done and I'll still be better off than I am now, but dang it, I'm determined to make this happen.

That being said, I have a ton of inescapeable time draining events coming up as far as family committments and travel go. Little did I know that last year when I got married I'd be committing myself to a yearly gauntlet of gatherings on my wife's families side during the last quarter of the year. It starts this weekend with the family reunion and runs through Christmas Day. My family has never been that close, but hers gets together and has huge meals just because it is a sunny saturday so the holidays are a very big deal. I love that about them, but I pretty much don't do anything productive when we make the two hour trek up to where she is from. I'll also be making the drive from Southeast Georgia to Southwest Missouri during the week of thanksgiving, and I doubt I'll get much done while i'm out there. So 13 posts over the next two months will be quite an achievement if I can get it done.

Definitely in those posts you'll see a Vash from Trigun Comission for my Bro Jeremy Jack [link] I'll be starting on this, today. I'll probably also go back and throw some colors on my Frankensteins Monster Illo from back in early September, along with coloring my own version of the Underfist lines I posted about a month ago and finishing up my 1500 page view committment for Superplayer J. Also in there, I've got those four pages to do for Garan Madieros who is the proud owner of the panzer print I just posted last night. I'm looking forward to getting these things rolling. If you'd like to get a commission from me remember that there are still two spots left in the first five recieve free shipping opportunity I posted about in previous journals. I'll get those done ahead of everything else. And I've still got those iron man sketchcards to do.

Hope you guys are well. Thanks for the continued faves and to all the new guys and gals who've added me to their watch. This thing is building up some steam.

Take it easy until the next time I update. I'm off to start on #1 of 13.
