Let's be alone together, let's see if we're that strong. Yeah, let's do something crazy; something absolutely wrong. While we're waiting for the miracle to come.

So this summer... well, let's just say things were crazy. And when I say things, that most certainly includes me. Or included, at least.

Forgot/lost my password for a while too, but more than anything, was sort of lost in my own little world for a while, even moreso than usual. As such, have been responding to very little here on dA.

When will I get back on track? Not sure, since I have a ton of catching up to do with what feels like a billion people and things that have fallen off my radar in the past months.

I'll get back on track with dA eventually, I swear.

As for right now, I have a few things to finish up, and want to work too, on the starmen.net Halloween Funfest. I hope to do at least two entries, but really, I'll be lucky if I finish up the one I'm currently working on. That'll be October.

For November, I'll be recording an album of EarthBound/Mother music, called "Your SanKAZOOary". Hopefully I'll be able to get it done within the month, more or less.

Then in December, I'll be spending time visiting my older brother, hopefully a friend as well, and spending some time at home with my parents.

That I have my life vaguely mapped out for myself until 2010 is sort of alarming, and altogether unlike me. If I was other people, I'd almost be worried at this level of planning and responsibility.

Anyway, to those I've let down over the past while as a result of my hermitishness, I do sincerely apologize -- one of these days, hopefully, I'll stop being such a cad, start being more considerate of others, and finally get my life under some semblance of control.

Here's a list of prices for commissions:

-Sketch (in regular pencil or one colour pencil or digital): $5

-Sketch (in regular pencil or one colour pencil) SENT to you in North America: $6 (additional charge for international orders)

-Full colour drawing: From $6 to $15 for one character (possibly more for stuff I'll likely have a hard time with/ that will take longer than usual; extra charge if you want it sent to you via mail). I can also do background art/ landscapes, and though it's not my forté, I think i can come up with something reasonably okay.

-Painting: $15 starting rate for something smallish and not too complicated that I have a lot of freedom on (for example "I would like a painting of Lucas from Mother 3"). Additional charges for larger paintings and more complicated subjects ("I would like a warm-coloured, but dimly lit picture of Jeff from EarthBound, fixing a broken iron by lamplight in the wee hours of the night, with tools of all sorts strewn upon his workbench.") Contact me for more information and to talk about specifics of what you'd like, and we'll work out a price together.

-SCULPTURES: I have nearly NO experience with sculpting (some though), but have some Sculpey and air-dry around that I need to use sometime, so if you're brave and want to commission something, small-ish stuff starts at a ridiculously low, low price of $10. DO YOU DARE commission a sculpt? (I'm actually pretty okay at sculpting, I swear, I've just not done it in over a decade)



If you're reading this, you PROBABLY know I like to draw stuff from the Mother/ EarthBound series; I am however, more than willing to draw other stuff, including stuff from cartoons, games, comics, etc., and original characters of yours (so long as I can be provided with some info about the material you want me to draw). Examples of the sorts of things I can do can be seen in my Gallery.

I don't really think I'd be very good at drawing porny stuff, so unless you're wanting to give me plenty more money, you may as well not ask.

OH, and if you maybe want something I've already made at a fantastic price, check out this link: [link] We can even HAGGLE if you like, but really, prices can't get much lower than they already are, or I'd be paying YOU!

Help save a painting this week, and I'll throw in a random FREE comic book, in honour of FREE COMIC BOOK DAY (this Saturday, May 2nd) [link] . That's right, if you purchase "Orange Man" [link] (or heck, any other of my paintings [link]), FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, I'll throw in a random comic book from my collection, for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!!! WOW!!!

As for "Orange Man", I'll likely be painting over it sometime soon-ish in order to save myself from buying another canvas (the place I used to get my low-cost canvases from doesn't sell any good ones anymore. Bleh.).

Anyway, Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday [link] so I'm pretty excited for it. I've not really taken a solid look at what titles are available (and really, it all depends on what the shops get in anyway), but it's always cool to get some new stuff to read that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford, not to mention that there's just a really swell energy in the air on Free Comic Book Day. Geeks congregate in the shops in droves, and passerby that have never read comics either ever or in ages stroll in, and parents bring their grubby little kids in (none of who can even fathom the idea that they're about to get comic books for free). It's always so awesome. If you have a comic book shop in your area (check the phonebook's yellow pages, if you're not sure), then I highly recommend that you check it out -- you MAY want to get there early though in order to get your pick of possibly low-supplied free stuff. Hope you have a great day and end up getting something free that you like, and why not pick up something at the store while you're at it. Since it's current, all-ages, and very cool, I recommend the very fun "Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!" [link] . Excellent stuff.

As for today... I must do my taxes today. Sure, I could do them tomorrow, but it'll probably be tough enough to get them done online today. Bleh. I swear, if I believed in Hell, I'm sure there'd be plenty of forms there. PLENTY. And all of them would be confusing. And they'd be covered in spiders and smell like mustard...

April 22nd is Earth Day, and this week you can buy "Air Quality" [link] at a special price of only $15.
