I'm a little late, since I got the 10000 pageviews already about two months ago (shortly before my birthday), but I'd like to thank all those people who visited my gallery and showed interest in my work. It's much appreciated.

This year, there were quite a few things going on and it seems like I overused my creative resources by taking charity commissions, entering contests and doing some other work. I hope the upcoming "Skyward Sword" will be a good reason to lean back and enjoy the calm seasons of the year (and perhaps get new inspiration and energy)... though I must admit, a part of me is looking forward to the day my standing order for drawing LoZ fanart will end, so I can draw - or even better: write - some original stuff again.

By the way, I removed the journal entry with information about commissions. If someone is seriously interested in commissioning me, he can contact me anytime. Provided I'm doing well, I'm sure we can work something out.

Overall, I want to focus more on things that are worth my time and effort and make me feel good - without overdoing it. Maybe I'll even take a break from drawing for a while.

Well, that's it for now, I think. Take care.
