Well, yeah... I kind of vanished for over a month right before Christmas break... The main reason was because of school and work. Haven't had much, if any, free time this past month so I haven't been able to do any art. I hope all of you had a good New Years and Holiday season! Mine was very uneventful.

This past week was my Birthday, the 18th to be exact, so that was fun. I'm officially 17! I feel so old... heh. I got 4 tickets to an Owl City concert, I can't wait! I also got myself a tablet, an Intuose4 medium (thank you eBay! ). Should get here within a week or so. Really excited about that. I've never used a tablet before, so it's going to be extremely interesting.

Hmmm, what else... Can't think of much more to say for now. I'm still working on several pieces I've been working on for a couple months now, maybe I'll post some WIP's sometime this week, or maybe not, we'll see.

Now, I promised a feature for several contest winners and do plan to keep that promise.. So without further delay, I present to you the winners of ~polskavic51's Double Themed Contest! -- [link]
