Jim, Good Luck on the eye surgerys coming up! Just take it easy when you get home though. Don't rush to get things done after something that important. We wouldn't want you to mess with the recovery process. Your eyes are more important than getting things caught up. I'm sure we'll all be with you in spirit when you go in.....*thinks they're going to need a whole lot bigger waiting room!*
Hugs, scratches, and best of luck!!

Subject: Catching up--part 1
Hey all!
I've got about 30 minutes before I gotta get some Z's, so I thought
I'd at least try to get a few things done before calling it a day...
I'm going to be moving some files around and pulling off some
artwork (but it's going to be saved for the website, so don't worry!)
around 5am EST on Monday (in about 7 hours). This will hopefully
free up some file space so more stuff can be posted.
Regarding the Caterwaul site, the information is still on hand,
albeit in hand-written form. It's simply a matter of getting the
time to put it all back on the computer. And I should be having
that "time" coming up very soon, because...
I've managed to schedule my eye surgeries for December 22nd. Two
operations will be performed back-to-back on the left eye, removing a
cataract and removing all the damaged blood vessels. Yeah, they
better knock my ass out because I REALLY don't want to see or feel
any of that. That's some nasty stuff.
But after the operation, I'll be recuperating for 2 weeks, and
won't be able to be at work. So I figure I'll use that time to work
on the Caterwaul site. It's not likely I'll get it done before
returning to work, but I can at least get some of the stuff up. And
I'll be updating By The Tail with a lot of new artwork, too. I have
to burn the sites onto CD and send them to the server owner, since I
lost my FTP program, and my 24 Kbps connection speed is just a
friggin' joke.
I'll also catch up on the group messages and check out the new
files that have been added (I try to sneak online while at work, but
sometimes that's just not possible).
Also, for any interested folks, I'm running an auction on Furbid
right now for some of the originals from the Hardcore 2 portfolio.
Just go to and type in the word "hardcore" on
the search option screen.
I also received an e-mail from JK, and I'm entertaining the idea of
actually meeting the guy face-to-face and check out some of his
work. He stated in his e-mail that he's never actually drawn any of
my characters, but he liked the way I drew stuff (hence the somewhat
similar styles). Not sure when I'll meet up with him (he lives only
about 25-30 minutes north of me), but it probably won't be this
weekend (Thanksgiving and all that).
Got some new artwork to post up (from the upcoming Ladies in Red
folio), but I'll put that up after I get some space in the files
section. Bigger Than Life 2 is currently being worked on, and I hope
to have that one completed shortly after my court date (December 2).
If possible, I'm going to try to get as much done as I can on
the "Valencia" portfolio before I get the operation.
I've got a little more work to do on the next Lot 6 vs
Extinctioners comic before I can post it, but it shouldn't be more
than a few days until that's done. I ended up spending most of this
weekend trying to get that friggin' motorcycle to run properly, and
now that I know what was wrong with it (carb main jets were too large
for that displacement), I can get the parts and get it on the road by
the end of this coming week.
I'm going to go ahead and close this letter now so I can get a few
hours of sleep before I commence to cleaning up the files section.
Sorry for my recent lack of participation; there's a lot of stuff I'm
having to complete (artwise, healthwise, financially
and...geographically) and I've only got a few months left to get
everything done. So hang in there, and I'll get myself back up to
speed. Thanks for your patience!
Talk to you all in about 7 hours...
