Santa was very sweet to me this year and brought me a new camera for Christmas, something I’ve been wanting and needing for quite some time now.

The monster painting I’ve been helping with since last September is finally done and Artex came in last Thursday to take it off the wall and bring it to their warehouse to stretch! It’s so enormous – 12′ x 21′ – that we had to build out the studio wall to stretch it [...]
