--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shame on me for not having a portfolio already. I should have been trying to get people to pay me for art long before now. Also, I should have gotten more playtesting on Realmcraft, polished it up, and sent it off to game companies. There's no good excuse for those failures.

On the plus side, I can see that I did manage to create way more art this year than last year. That's something, anyway.

I saw the Bruno picture; I thought it was really cool. Any word on whether or not it got into the book?

In theory. Bill Holbrook liked it and said it was going in, but I wasn't really in a position to buy a copy of the book so I don't know for sure.
