Hi all. As you may have seen, tonight I uploaded a massive glut of Hama artwork, all drawn by a talented and creative young woman named Bumi. She undertook this commission last year and was an utter joy to work with, always open to ideas and ready with suggestions, and the quality of the work speaks to her skills as an artist. Sadly, Bumi is no longer with us. I learned just a few days ago that she passed away during a visit to hospital, as a result of underlying health conditions. Her earnings as an artist were a big contribution towards supporting her family, and so if anyone feels they can spare a donation to help them through these troubled times, please get in contact with me so that we can arrange a transfer into Bumi's Paypal account. Rest in Peace Bumi, and thankyou for ten pieces of wonderful artwork.

2021 has been a rough year for so many. I am fortunate to be spending the holiday season with my family, but I know many people will not be so lucky. And so to all of you out there I send this message of seasonal goodwill in the hopes it brings you a little needed cheer. Here's wishing one and all on DA a wonderful Christmas and a Happy new Year. Let's make 2022 the best year we can!

As a thankyou to @hachimitsu-ink for all his wonderful drawings and animations of Hama of the Lamp, @Tirquaz has put together this lovely little animation of Hachi's leading lady, Crystal the Genie :) If you like this, be sure to take a look at the original and share your thoughts :) And Hachi, we both hope you enjoy this :) Cheers!
