... or so they say. Still has busy as a rooster in a hen house. I thought I would have had some time in September to go over the soooooo many photos I still have to look at properly. Alas, something came up as it always does.

I was not even planning on doing a calendar this year, but friends and family have been asking about it, so I found 4 hours today to get it all done.

Christmas is just around the corner. It is quite chilly here in Tokyo, but the temperature is going up and down like a yo-yo. someday I can wear just a t-shirt outside in the sun. Yeah to global warming... if only!

When I get the time to look at random work here on DA, I am ALWAYS surprised. There are just SOOOOOO many great artists out there. I wish had the time to look at all the great stuff here. The power of the internet and software like Photoshop, Illustrator etc seems to have unleashed a wave of creatively across the globe, and let people share it too. I am sure 20 years ago there were very many talented oil painting artists etc, who never had the chance to get there work out there. Digital is taking artwork to the masses, this has to be a good thing. I get inspired by others work, and so it goes...

Well enough of my rant.

Regardless of your beliefs, this is the season to be happy, be kind to your fellow man, and make the world a better place.

The world truly is amazing, and I hope it stays that way.
