Lets start off with the obvious. My mom has cancer, all of my nearest friends know this. I am also in the process of starting a business with a friend of mine. My wife is pregnant. Whoo- Hoo.

Between all the stuff going on in my life at this time I have decided that I am going in temporary retirement from my graphics. I just dont have time. Our business alone is going to tie up our entire summer with very little time to get any graphics done. I will try to get something in from time to time at Twisted Realmz and Bryce Emporium. That is all. Nothing else. Even a piece in either one of those is going to be a chore.

My mind just isn't in the art right now. I can't concentrate at all, I have tried, believe me. Nothing comes out right. Graphics is as much as a love as my family nearly. I am not in the frame of mind...I cant get nothing to look good. So I will call this a temperary retirement...a vacation...time to clear my mind. Be with my family and get this life moving along better. Money is hard right now, it is time to make some sacrafices and gamble a little on some things. That line is pertaining to our business. One sacrafice is my graphics...something that is very time consuming. Time I could put to better use.

My mom is really on my mind...I love her. She needs me and I should be making sure I am with her. She isnt doing so well, I really dont want to lose her...but...the lord works in mysterious ways. We keep praying, if her place and time is going to be...it will be. Only one can make the choice. She is an amazing woman...what mother isnt in most cases.

My family needs me as well...I have been spending more time with them and my kids like it much better this way. Sacrafices bring good too I guess. I really have been neglecting them as well. Neglect came with my graphics. So this is my sacrafice for the time being.

My wife really doesn't mind me doing what I love, she is actually very encouraging. I love her...but I know this is something I have to do for now. I told her I just can't concentrate, can't get nothing to look good. So she told me to take a break and do what I feel is best. I think my decision here is the best one for the time being.

I have met so many people and made many friends in the last five years...You all have been my support. My rocks that are all over the world... A little fan club even...lol... I love you guys and gals so much. Without you I would be nothing I guess.

Twisted Realmz is probably the biggest insperation to be in my graphics life. Twisted Realmz is basicly just being good and being of broader mind...I didn't have to be the best, just being a part of the most awsome art group there is...I love everyone at Twisted Realmz. William...Thanks man, for the opertunity to be a part of Twisted. I am not leaving for good...but for a good few months anyway. Luv you buddy!!! Shelly...just a big kiss for you hun. Luv ya!!! nebu (Shelly) is awsome and a good insperation.

We were all beginers at some time or another. Be nice and don't bag on those newbies. They just want to be part of a great world...our little graphics world.

To everyone here and everywhere else...Love you all and have fun making more art. Learn everything you can to better yourselves. A little step everyday is at least moving foreward.

*with tears in my eyes* I love you all...I will be around from time to time to say hi...

PEACE!!!
