And life takes a turn for the worse *update*

Okay, so...now that things have (sort of) quieted down around here, I feel I owe everyone an explanation.

Recently, my son was suspended from school for a few days, for violently assaulting another child. This wasn't just a case of him getting angry and giving the kid a little smack or a punch in the arm; my son practically beat the crap out of this poor kid, and to top that off, this was the fourth incident since he started school. As a result, he needs to be monitored by the school psychologist for a few weeks, and at the end of that time we're going to have a family-teacher conference to figure out what we can do to keep things like this from happening again. We may possibly have to put him on some kind of medication. He's incredibly intelligent, and even his teachers are impressed with him--he's already at like a first grade reading level, for example--but he has some serious behavior issues that need to be ironed out now while he's still young. 

So, yeah...that's what was going on. It still is to some degree, but not at the severity it was a couple days ago. He had a much better day at school when he went back today (which is to say at least he didn't beat the piss out of anyone), so....things are slowly but surely improving. I've really got to stay focused and help him learn to control his temper, however. 

I've also been actually working on something art-wise to try to keep my mind off things...I sort of had an epiphany about something recently, and just couldn't keep my pencil from the paper. Hopefully you guys will like what I've come up with.



So, things have gotten pretty rough around here.....I can't even talk about what's going on. It's just too embarrassing and I can't believe it's happening. 

Due to the circumstances I've found myself under, I've refunded my remaining commissioners, and commissions are now at a definite stand-still. I actually don't know when the next time I'll even be uploading art is....I'll still be around, I just don't really have the drive to draw anything in my present condition. 

I sincerely apologize to the commissioners I've inconvenienced, and to my watchers for being so vague. I just hope to get things worked out soon.
