My computer is being rather stubborn today, I'm afraid.  I had to re-download Gimp, because it kept freezing.  And then, a minute ago, I got the infamous blue screen of death.  I need to run some sort of diagnostic on it, I suppose.  I have terrible luck with electronics of any kind.  And, I could swear that the more irritated I become with a malfunctioning piece of equipment, the more it malfunctions.  Funny how that works.

I finished up a small commission for [livejournal.com profile] fayanora  earlier, and am trying to gear my thoughts towards the logistics of further work.  I need to organize some things and work out the best methods of operation.  I think I may start "opening for business" at a particular time every morning, and then "close" for further commission work either at a particular time or when I receive a certain number of project requests.  What does everyone think of that option?

Today, I'm having to look after my grandmother (who has Alzheimer's) for a few hours; my mother has the flu and is going to see the doctor.  So I've unplugged my laptop and am using it down here.  Not really able to do anything artistic, but I might take a look at my Veil draft and see what I can do to modify it.

It feels good to be putting so much focus on the artwork again.  I've missed it.

I've completed [livejournal.com profile] fayanora 's commission of her character Lyria Spellspinner, a dark sorceress.  Posting the image with her permission.

As always, still taking commissions; see info at the top of the blog for pricing. 

Later!
