I'm not gone I just can't seem to get myself to do any art right now. I have what felt like a steady stream of bad news or bad luck this past week that just puts me in state of not wanting to do anything creative. Work has been stressful. The art school I attended and graduated from back in 2000 is closing this month. I entered an art challenge, had multiple entries, the first of which was got noticed and acknowledged by others even the moderators but yet I didn't win. I put in the time and effort, racking my brain for ideas and it was all for nothing. I know you can't win them all, but it feels like I can't win any. Now the washing machine is out of order for the past three days and we can't reach the landlord for repairs. So just don't expect any posts or comments anytime soon. Thanks to all follow my work and the likes and to anyone who took to the time to read this. -Randy
