# About me
Between kids, husband, and art, I keep myself busy. I am a four time cancer survivor and barely over thirty. To make me even more strange, I'm also 6'2". Give me coffee, a good book or game, and my kids distracted and content and I'll be a happy camper. ;)# Comments

Hi, random stranger here. Just wanted to momentarily uncloak to share with you how meaningful your story (via your blog and here on DA) has been. I discovered your blog a little over a year ago when my wife began her own bout with cancer. Your ability to handle extraordinarily trying circumstances with grace and good humor has been an inspiration.Β
....and on top of that, your art is amazing!!!
Best wishes,
Peter B

Aw, well thanks! Β I've been terrible about keeping up the blog, though I've been meaning to. Β I'm glad that I at least have enough on there that people can still find decent use out of it. Β I've a few more things I really would like to add to it but time has been a hot commodity that I can't get enough of around here with everything going on, fluctuating energy levels and everything in the world that comes with kids to boot. Β
Cancer is rough, no matter what stage or step of the way you are in it. Β I'm glad I could help make one of the steps at least a little less rocky for you and your wife. Β
(Also, thanks for the compliment on the art! 
Take care of yourself and your wife!

I don't know if you remember me from the Seraph Inn forums. I finally got caught up with my life (and my struggle with illness), so I went back through all the website I had accounts with. I found I was watching your DA, and I went through the art just now.
I empathize - back in July, I nearly bit the bullet myself, with a lung infection that left me bedridden and almost unable to breathe. I was active on Facebook since it was my only window to the world aside from the hospital one. It was touch and go when I didn't wake up one morning after fighting a cough for a month. I was dumb - I didn't do what I should have.
I'm glad you're still with us. Your art is great.

I do actually remember you! Β I'm glad you got your lungs sorted out, they're kinda necessary to a rather annoying degree. Β Hospital stays are rough, especially the longer you're there...they put a drain on you something terrible. Β You're out in NE, right? Β Things going ok in the world of corn and soy now, though, lung infections aside?

Nebraska is doing fine. Corn and soybeans are still growing. Well, they will be when winter is over.
The better part of the story is that I accepted a new job at a new company to be a manager and make more money.
I'm also picking up the UNKNOWN QUANTUM story from the forums, moving it to another medium and I plan on finishing it. I still have all my notes (I found them by accident just the other day), and so I shall continue. Agent Klork is not dead, and neither is the story (although it did pause on a great cliffhanger I noticed).

Hello from Tacoma!
Just peeked around and read a few of your journals...Not only is your art drool-worthy, but you're really inspiring!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! Though I must admit, drool worthy is a new term my art has been referred to. 
π: 0 β©: 1
But it IS drool-worthy! 8D It's good to see someone else who plays with traditional media.

Aww, great work
How long does each piece take you, it looks stunning

Depends, the recent Crimson Twilight portraits didn't take much more than an hour to color and clean up after I sketched them out (less than 5 minutes to sketch them). Others can take several hours, depending on the method I use. ^_^

Seriously? 5 minutes to sketch them out?! I know the colouring would take a while to do, but 5 minute to sketch is like WOW. Your an amzing artist!! Keep up the good work

SISK is silly. How can they think that anything up there even compares to the quality of your stuff?
I suppose I'm just bias. You've drawn me lots of sexy Angelo pictures ... <3 <3 <3

FFFFFFF I thought you were already watching me a jillion years ago. xd

I thought I was too, o_O I had a little time to kill this morning because Warren woke me up early, and I decided to clean up my friends' list and organize it. Made a little folder for the Seraph Inn Forumites and realized your name WAS NOT THERE. Remedied that.
