PART I:

It's been such a very long time since I posted anything here! I've been on an unofficial hiatus of sorts, brought about by a series of personal and professional circumstances. I've changed jobs and have been working a lot; enjoyed the symptoms of bronchitis and a cracked rib for 2.5+ months; still continuing to make graphics, just at a snail's pace. ;)

I do apologize to those of you who've left, or responded to comments of mine; my intention was not to ignore you! I hope to be better about correspondence in future. :)


PART II:

What kind of desktop wallpapers would you like to see more of? (Wallpapers, mind, not drawings; I don't take commissions. ;) ) Lately I've come to love a more simplistic, minimal approach to wallpapers. I find it feels more soothing and less cluttered. More room for desktop icons, too! If you are like me, you have them aplenty... :giggle:

I don't have a paid account so I can't create a real poll, but please comment and let me know which 3 you're most interested in seeing me make/post, or comment with a new suggestion!


* Costume Drama Fan Art Wallpapers (e.g., Downton Abbey, Little Dorrit, Gladiator, Jane Austen adaptations, etc.)

* Period Artwork Wallpapers (e.g., paintings, portraits, etc.)

* Vintage Photo Wallpapers (e.g., Old Hollywood actresses, Victorian tintypes, etc.)

* Other Movie/TV Fan Art (e.g., Battlestar Galactica [yes I did watch--and love!--this series!!], Batman wallpapers will abound when more promos from the new movie are out, mwahahaa...)

* Anything else? Comment and let me know!
