Happy New Year! Here is hoping that 2025 will not be a total dumpster fire. My Chinese 2025 horoscope is quite dire(No lucky stars??? For 3 more YEARS???), Western horoscope says all will be fantastic, we shall see! I am an Aries born in the year of the sheep. Double baaa. New Year is the only time I look up horoscopes.

I will send good job thoughts your way.

How much for a doodle of two dogs? (I know you said cats but thought I'd slip that in without you noticing.)

[ani_mama]

Haha, I can do dogs no problem. Together in one drawing? $30. I am thinking $20 per 1 pet drawing. I am going to need clear photos showing color markings. You would not believe how often I get muddy photos of pets in dark rooms only showing head and shoulders.

Work sounds a bit frustrating - I hope something comes along soon. Is there much illustration work you could do for books?

[ani_mama]

It looks like this department will be a bunch of short term projects, with breaks in between. Not the best when bills do not stop! But it is work, and pays well enough that I can save for the breaks, especially now that Kid is self supporting.

How cool to have gotten kissed (on the cheek) by Ray Bradbury. He's one of my all-time favorite writers. Hope something comes through for you! And, yes, I'd be interested in a doodle. :DD

I love his writings as well!

I am especially fond of The Halloween Tree

Martian Chronicles were one of the first sci fi stories I ever read, and have been a favorite since.

Seeing celebrities out in the wild- shortsighted as I am I fear I´d miss them all!

[ani_mama]

I have face blindness, so often missed celebrity sightings unless somebody else pointed them out. There were some that were hard to miss though, like James Hong and family having dinner at a restaurant right next to us, LOL.

Fingers crossed the western horoscope is the correct one!!!
