Well, 2016 is here already. Time to take stock and make hollow promises for the year ahead, I suppose.
This blog is now two years old. In some ways, I'm glad I started it around New Year's. It makes it an easy date to keep track of. I've just been for a wander through the archives, and while I've posted a lot of rubbish, there's also been enough quality discussion to make the whole exercise worthwhile. I have my three readers to thank for that. Cheers, ladies.
2015 was the year that I stopped being a chickenshit and started drawing again—but only with my left hand—so I suppose I didn't completely get over my chickenshittedness. Actually, truth be told, I'm not too disappointed with how things have turned out in that regard. Now I'm kind of curious to see if I can work my way up to being fully ambidextrous. I would like to see the work-rate go up though. My initial goal was one piece a week, which is not ambitious at all, yet I've still managed to fall way shy of the mark. I'm probably going to have to manage my time better and also be prepared to post a lot of "quick & dirty" sketches if I ever want to get there.
I'm also thinking I'd like to give this place a bit of a face-lift. I've got ideas for designing my own blog template from scratch. I'm also thinking this blog really could use a better title. Something a bit shorter and easier to remember, maybe. Ultimately, it'd be good to get off Blogger altogether; as of yet though, no preferable solutions have appeared on the horizon.
As for personal New Year's resolutions, I got nothin'. I live my life by to-do lists, so I mean, I've got stuff I plan to get done in 2016, but it's nothing revolutionary or life-changing. Have a look at the Perl 6 programming language, work on one-handed handstands, eat more fish; that kind of crap.
Wha'bout yous girls? Any plans for 2016?

I can't even do a two-handed handstand. I have delicate wrists
I need to drink less alcohol. It makes me fat
I need to write more, really buckle down
I need to get me some sunshine. Just for a bit
1) For delicate wrists, start with push-ups.
2) Alcohol does indeed make you fat. I lost all my weight after giving up the grog. I do not regret the decision one little bit.
3) If it wasn't for to-do lists, I don't think I'd get anything done.
4) I imagine getting sunshine isn't easy where you are, especially around this time of year. I whole-heartedly endorse Melba's strategy of Vitamin D loading. Could be placebo, but I haven't been properly sick for over two years.
I enjoy your drawings and would like to see more!
I don't do resolutions, but I did indulge in a lot over the silly season, so I am going without booze for several days, maybe a week if nothing comes up to tempt me, just to give my liver a break. I also need to get more exercise, but I've already started on that too.
Happy New Year. xxx
I don't do resolutions
Wise.
Should have a new drawing up tomorrow. Every weekend would be a good thing, I reckon.*
*We'll just have to see how long it lasts.
