I'm really not producing art that actively for dA anymore (that isn't to say that I won't, it's to say that I'm an awfully lazy bum and I haven't been!)....  -_-;;;;  I've been doodling a comic for myself, but not much worth posting.
Life has been going along.  I lost my paternal grandfather before Christmas, I still grieve.  I visited my maternal grandparents, they, too, have aged.  I'm going to Costa Rica to chase birds around, that's my dream job for right now.  I've been studying for the GRE with a dear friend I've known since kindergarten, one day we shall run a field station to train linguists and biologists in a cloud forest (XD).  I've been drawing a comic of a story that has been lodged in my head for a good long while, maybe someday I won't be so bashful and I'll post it somewhere on the internet... I'm not sure.
So.
Life.
It goes on and all I can strive to do is be sure that I am living life as joyfully as I can.
