Happy New Year!
So. I got this performance bonus at work. A pretty good one, actually; it was $1700 before taxes. Mind you, it's taxed as an award, so by the time I got it home, it was more like $1100. But even so ( Read more... ) -
The Latest Kerfuffle
There's a company called Despair, Inc that I'm generally fond of. They were among the first to have commercially available DEmotivational Posters. And I always have their Valentines Candy Hearts on my desk every February. They have calendars, coffee mugs, mousepads, laptop skins... pretty much everything.

For those gearing up for the Great Zombiepocalypse:

So, after a 9-month drought, I'm back to painting scrolls. I'm not sure why it took me so long to do this after finishing that Persian piece for bytchearse, but such is life. At any rate, here's the next one in the book. (Number 25! I guess I really am a Scribe™, and not just a Scribe™'s "Bored Significant Other".)
