So, in spite of popular opinion, I am not actually dead. I understand that I haven't really posted here since 2007, and that you DO NOT do that online these days, and I would like to sincerely apologize to those of you who legitimately worried about me. To try to explain something complicated simply: we'll just go with the simple fact that during my senior year at RISD, I underwent a rather large "course correction," during which I changed my major focus from concept or fantasy illustration to academic and informative illustration (with a focus on natural history) and museum art fabrication.

I set up a print account, due to many requests and also because Balaa got me hooked on having a subscription, and it just expired.

This is a bit of an experiment for me, so please place your orders! :) I'd also be interested to hear if anyone wants one of the other pieces offered as a print. I just took a selection of the most popular ones, but if there are any other requested prints, just let me know. Best, Dalla
