Sorry to have been away so long, but I don't have a scanner at home and I had no new art pre-scanned to my computer so I was in a bit of a bind until I got back to the city. But now I'm back in the city and in my lovely, clean, roomate-free apartment and can start posting again.
The piece above is a wine label that I designed for my dad for his birthday for a wine that he made from a wine-kit. The wine isn't finished yet so none of us knows if it's good or not but at least the bottles will have swanky designer labels. And really, it's all about appearances.

Okay so the link is nowhere near as fun as the labyrinth generator but I still quite like it. Much as I feel that the world of webcomics is over-run by Japan fans there are still some good ones out there. One of these is No Rest For the Wicked by Andrea Peterson, it's an amazing and impressive blend of largely victorian fairytales into one conglomerate adeventure. So far the mentioned tales are Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, The Girl with No Hands, The Princess and the Pea, the Buried Moon and The Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was. Not only does she follow the more traditional and grimmer versions (Sandman fans will recognize her version of Red Riding Hood) but she also has created an intruging cast of characters. I'm particularly fond of Red and Perrault (Puss).

You've added alot since I last visited.
I like the masks and materials pieces you've added. They make me sit and wonder and say "huh.."

Why thank you. I've been lagging a bit because it's too nice in Boston to stay inside, but I try.
