#artkitteh , King Vases and possession

So...

It has been a while, BingoRagers.

If your only updates on my activities occur in this blog, then you are really missing my bleeding edge.
I post daily to facebook, twitter (link) and tumblr (link); recent studio pics, mostly.

I always thought of the blog as a place for "important works", but that has come to represent unfinished editing, etc. and must be vanquished with content.

Here are some recent works from our collaborations at #StudioChezZzorhn
All pics click for greater detail.
