Dropping In

Although I haven't been posting anything here in months, I have been keeping pretty busy (what an understatement) with my work at APM.

I've posted many new design pieces created for APM and their clients at my gallery.

My other artistic endeavors have been mostly confined to the pages of my sketchbook. Despite acquiring a beautiful new Wacom tablet (purchased in part by birthday gift cards from my many wonderful friends,) I have not had many chances to use it.

My first and only finished piece created with the new tablet was this gift for my friend's 80th birthday.  He's been a classical music aficionado for most of his life, and he wound up liking this gift very much.

I was happy he liked it, but I was personally more pleased with the birthday card that accompanied it:

Machiavelli was a great instructor on the art of being a villain, but Al Swearengen will always be the Master.
