Hi everyone - I'm still alive! And feeling terribly guilty about allowing my gallery here at dA to fall into disarray. Were it a building, there'd be trees sprouting through the roof by now.

Fortunately it's not a building, just a website, which means that I came back to find it redesigned and newer and shinier than ever (sadly, it's so new and shiny I can't figure out where anything is... how the hell do I change the auto signature on my comments again??).

In brief: I'm still in Brisbane, I'm still with ~IncB, I'm still a crazy cat lady, and I'm still producing art - though because I'm working in the gaming industry, I'm not permitted to upload any of the designs I do for work here. And because I'm being paid to draw and paint for 38 hours a week, every week, I tend to do anything BUT draw and paint in my free time. This is pretty sweet for me, but not much fun for anyone watching my gallery and hoping for something new. Very sad, actually - I've taken on a more realistic painting style that I'd love to show you guys, but it's all on stuff I've done for work! D:

Still, there's some silly sketches and such I've done in my free time here at work that I'll pop up here soonish.

Also, to lay this to rest once and for all, because people keep asking: ~blitterbug and I will not be releasing any further issues of Crikey Duck. I'm really sorry guys, but that was a co-project the two of us did together in our free time when we were flatmates. We both have a lot less free time these days, we no longer live together, and each of us has personal projects we're keen to invest our time and energy into. Crikey Duck was awesome fun while it lasted, but it is over. We're so glad you all enjoyed it. <3

Currently there's nothing much else to say - life has been exceedingly good to me this past year and the future is looking pretty damn nifty-keen too. ~IncB and I will be making our way to the US for a month-long holiday in early 2010. I'm writing in my free time. The cats are well. And how are all of you?

~Tania
