Duuuuuude! It has been awhile...what with hubbyhood, fatherhood, mortgagehood, and this pesky notion of working 50 hours a week, my creative ego has been repressed for several months (all good things, though). FWIW - sketching is never a tax on time, and of this I've done plenty; as well as planning, lots of it.

This is a maxim I've held dear for awhile, and some have asked in the past what I really mean by it.
