Cause of Hiatus

I haven't created too much art as of late, but it's mostly because I had a bit of an.... accident... playing softball. I wasn't a particularly good softball player to begin with, but I really enjoyed playing on a team in the rec league at work. On the last night we played in the tournament, I managed to hit the ball with my right thumb rather than, you know, the bat, and here is the result:


Yeah, it's broken. The incapacitation of my dominant thumb has done nothing to advance my creative endeavors. Well, almost nothing. Since I was referred from a clinic to an orthopedic doctor, I got to take my x-rays home and had a little fun playing with them in photoshop:


I find it delightfully creepy, especially considering it's my own hand. :)

It's been nearly three weeks now since I broke it, so I'm starting to regain some light use. I plan to post some new art pretty soon (at least my GPP submission for the month!). In the meantime, I thought I would share what I've been up to lately: Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios!

I love that you put your x-rays in PhotoShop. Only you.... ;-)
