I disappeared. Apparently for 4 years. It's been...a bizarre few years. Lots of weird. Lots of stress. I've been getting things back on track lately, or as on track as I can get them, what with being a neurotic artist type. So, what's been going on for the past 4 years? I've still been making stuff.

I did take the opportunity this winter to pick up a new hobby though--carnivorous plants. Particularly Nepenthes pitcher plants--I have th
