Hi everyone!

Jeez it's been so long that I feel I should introduce myself again. Last year I finally was able to have surgeries to fix the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (it's a rare sort of pinched nerve) and Carpal Tunnel that together made it pretty near impossible for me to do any drawing for a few years. The last map I posted here, I could only work on for about 5 minutes at a time because of the numbness and pain.

After a quite long recovery process (not to mention a house move, a crazy job, and two puppies taking up all my time) I can feel my hand again and it doesn't hurt to hold a pen anymore!

So I'd love to hang out here again. I'm very glad to see all the new faces and bustling activity, and a map came onto my facebook feed today that was simply GORGEOUS! It inspired me to pick up the pens that have been gathering dust, and to poke in here and see how everyone is.
