We're back, I guess

Yours truly faking painting. 

Note the beverage of the gods.

Had I actually made any promises, this would be the point I'd be telling I owe an apology. I've neglected maintaining this site for a long time. In fact, I haven't even done anything related to painting for a year. But no promises were made, the site is primarily for me. If others enjoy it, great, but I'd probably do this even if no one read it.

The thing is, soon after my burnout a little over a year ago, I started suffering from lower back pains which made it extremely painful to sit down. After a full day in the office, just barely surviving on industrial strength painkillers, I really did not feel like sitting down and painting. I had to lie down and pretty much the only thing I could do was watch the idiot box -- even holding a book to read was too stressful.

Now, I'm not going to lie and say this was the only thing. I did suffer from a mental burnout as well, so I didn't want to paint even if I could and I couldn't even if I wanted to. This soon became a vicious circle.

Obviously, I got better or you wouldn't be reading this. I got my back in order and even got tentatively back to painting.

The first job is putting up all the backlog pictures. After that, I'm just starting a new project... keep checking for new stuff.
