PZ, these photos are for you.

Angel I see nothing wrong with the skin tones of your painting. But, if you don't enjoy the act of painting, then I can see why you would not want to paint for others.

Jessica - That photo of your son is perfect composition!

Jessica - I'll let you do the painting for the others. I don't enjoy it at all.

I sculpted these beards for Stickman and enjoyed that. But painting them sucked eggs. I can't stand painting. When will I get that into my head? It's really hard for me, and takes me such a long a time. Painting these custom heads was like an all day event for me.

I'm going back to painting gorilla heads, that I always enjoy.

For those you are interested in the 5 cards released at the Comic Con here they are! I think the artwork is fantabulous!

Here is a cool photo of a sand crab. These suckers are less than 3 inches wide and run fast. It took me several minutes to tire out this crab before it would stay still. When they run on the sand they look like leaves being blown around by the wind--that's how fast they are.

I love the composition of this shot:

Here is some palm fiber that look almost like it was woven. Palm fibers glued onto cloth were used for the human outfits on the Planet of the Apes. I forget where I read that.

I had a lot of downtime in Nairobi. I was able to complete this sweater while over there for my newborn nephew.

I believe that you should try all types of food or consumables at least once in your lifetime, like camel milk, even if it was in the form of yogurt. I tried this on my last day there. It was really delicious. It was vanilla flavored and it was powdery but very very delicious. I mentioned this to my sister, who said that she has tasted water buffalo milk on rice, and she said it's so rich it was like cream. Thinking about that makes me drool.

I have that old figure, he's a great looking piece (in storage at the moment) but you can see a pic at the bottom of this old review- http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_050605b.htm
Picked it up cheap in London about 5 years ago (priced up wrong) it was meant to be £125 but it had a £25 sticker... had to let me have it for the marked price...Yay!
