An Explanation

I know I said I would bring back my gallery in the new year... but I don't feel like doing so yet.

I haven't revealed exactly how hard the past 6 months have been. A lot of the artwork I did during this time now holds bad memories for me.

My dad was on a steady decline all year. We didn't know the cause until September. From what I can tell from what doctors have said, it's incredibly rare for an anuerysm to cause pressure in the brain and cause symptoms of the severity he had. It pretty much drained the life out of him until the day it ruptured. I really hope no one I know has to watch this happen to a loved one... although at the same time I wish there was more information available. I would go into more detail on the symptoms, but it's really impossible to describe unless you're there watching it day by day... maybe one day I'll write something up which could be useful to anyone going through the same thing.

Anyway... new year, new start and all that... I may post new artwork before reinstating the rest of my gallery... but I'm still not really up to drawing. We'll see.
