I started to do a comic about the decade, still may, but needed to break it down; I am so easily overwhelmed.

I'm going home to California for a week to recharge my batteries. I'm hoping to get drawing lots comics (and find an internship!!) in the weeks before school starts.

I'm being lazy about screen printing and putting stuff up for sale in the shop, but no one is buying anything anyway.

I didn't leave the couch for a few days there, but I'm back scribbling. I just started 5 different comics. Don't know how many will get finished. I become a nervous wreck about inking or even drawing for real. I forget it's just comics and to have fun. 

Cold Man Winter gave us a 4 day, rainy break from the snow; just long enough to ruin the whole White Christmas thing, but the snow is back now!

Not too much happening artistically, but I did finally excavate the floor of my art room, so at least there is space for me in there now.

ALSO I got a button/badge making machine for XMess so I can now make buttons! It's so exciting. I've been a button making fool all weekend until I ran out of button bits. I got more on order but the supplier's warehouse is closed until the 4th so I probably won't have more to play with until I get back from my trip.

Jan 6 - 15th I will be visiting my home turf for the first time in over 2 years! I'm from california and I miss everyone back in the bay area so much.

PS: There are a few new doodles in the sketchbook, too.

Наконец кто-то это сделал: включил Армению как в один из пунктов в большой экспедиции. Идея - провести людей через ключевые точки шелкового пути, так что заезд в Армению так же планируется. Путешествуют, как сообщает реклама, на 70-местном боинге, 15 дней в конце апреля 2010 за 30 тыс. с человека. Всё это в сопровождении travel-фотографа.

Интересно, правда, что в самой Армении, где экспедиция проводит два дня, планируется показать участникам Гарни-Гехарт-ХорВирап-Эчмиадзин :0) То есть, ничего из тех мест, которые с путём этим связаны :0) Но это ничего, зато...
Шелковый путь - это, думаю только начало. Рано или поздно Армения станет частью очень разных много-страновых экспедиций. :0)
