It's been a solid three years since I've been around these parts, save for some small spurts of creativity here and there. Life has been wonderfully hectic, but an artist who stops arting just isn't an artist anymore.

Eventually, I had to go home, and in order to do that, I had to go to the police and tell them everything. This process also included throwing my boss under the bus and possibly ruining his career, as well as causing major upsets and facing prison time. Chinese prison time. But everything worked out okay, and they let me go home. I'm glad t
