I have reclaimed my sinuses, and though I sound a little rough, I'm definitely on the mend. And feeling very behind. If you need something from me, please feel free to prod. Chances are good that I have just forgotten.

I finished the last of the pieces I needed to do for a deadline of today, and Patreon patrons can see previews of what that project is! (I'm RIDICULOUSLY happy with how it's come out...)

My inbox was 600 earlier today, and I've beat it back to 498. That's where it's going to stay for now, because it's time to wake Guppy from napping and tackle.... I'll have to consult my list. Things. To do. That need done.

Have a piece of artwork that I posted at Torn World last month!


This is a three-mantle lamp in a time crystal bubble, which means a small amount of fuel will provide light for a very long time. Time crystals one of the more curious things about Torn World...

Little monster is far less monstery today. We've been singing and dancing and drawing and counting and she ate a giant breakfast and we're going to go out and play soon.

My inbox has gotten out of control - it was up near 400 this morning, and things were getting lost. So, I dredged back through my Facebook messages and hopefully handled everything there, and got my inbox down to 143, which is still not done, but it is significantly better. Last files off to the printer last night, proofed everything else and approved for printing the first 9 titles. (With adjustments to a few of them) Sent off some Sketch Fest payments and fixed a few mistakes there. Following up on some other business-y things, too.

We have a bonus mid-week Sketch Fest next week on Wednesday! It's just 24 hours, to celebrate the fact that EMG is now drinking age. :P http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/

Come raise a glass with us!

First fire of the year in the woodstove! Guppy helped me carry some of the wood, and we've talked solemnly about stove safety. I have the gates at ready, but she has stayed away from some of the other things we've had solemn talks about, so I'm hopeful we won't need them this winter. No unsupervised time in the living room while I make sure she REALLY understands, of course. All right, who am I kidding; she doesn't really get any unsupervised time in the living room anyway. Right now, she is scrubbing off the kitchen table for me.

In cooking news, I made a pot pie last night. The crust was INCREDIBLE, the texture was PERFECT. And it was completely devoid of flavor. Might have cut the salt just a liiiitttle too far. Sprinkling more on - and a little rosemary - redeemed it entirely.
