So, in spite of popular opinion, I am not actually dead.
I understand that I haven't really posted here since 2007, and that you DO NOT do that online these days, and I would like to sincerely apologize to those of you who legitimately worried about me.

I'm so flattered! I didn't actually know that I had a daily dev until I read a friends note on my lj. :) So thanks, Shoomlah.

Thanks everybody.

I set up a print account, due to many requests and also because Balaa got me hooked on having a subscription, and it just expired. SO you can now order high resolution reproductions (and various other goodies) of Elvira's Puppy, In the Canopy, When You're Strange, Mean Girls, PREZ, and Kemsa.
This is a bit of an experiment for me, so please place your orders! :)
I'd also be interested to hear if anyone wants one of the other pieces offered as a print. I just took a selection of the most popular ones, but if there are any other requested prints, just let me know.
Best,
Dalla
