Excuses

You may have noticed a lack of content from me over the past few weeks. This is probably unsurprising, because long dry spells on DA are basically the only consistent thing about me, but this time there's actually a reason for it besides laziness.
See, I got this fantastic new Intuos5 Touch tablet for Christmas, and it was AWESOME. For approximately one month. Then it broke.
The warranty on this relatively expensive piece of hardware expired on January 31st. It promptly ceased functioning, without warning, on February 1st.
That was disheartening.
So I've just been kind of stewing for the past week and a half, unable to lovingly craft images of men with awkwardly large chins, as is my custom.
Fortunately, Amazon customer service was understanding, so a replacement is on it's way. It should be here any day now, and after that I'll get right back to drawing "Person with a Funny-Shaped Head Makes an Unusual Facial Expression: Part 85". Truly, I am a visionary.

Thanks for being patient (as always),
