Okay. This isn't funny anymore...

Apparently I've been away. I must have neglected to tell myself that there was a hiatus -a -um of sorts taking place, so I have maintained a rather blissless unawareness re: life in general and art in particular. I need to get my act together. Has anyone seen my muse...?

Below are pages from a book of drawings I put together. I have one (1) left, but I should probably send it to my ex-wife, to whom many of these "drawings" were at the time dedicated. $40. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you do not buy one... this is your last chance.
