An (old) day out hunting

Ahh, how I miss those beautiful days of hunting wild beasts and creatures in the forest. I got very nostalgic when I dug up this old photo -it nearly brought a tear to my eye.


So, its been a while since I've uploaded any new stuff. Here's a little something new using some old work, a photo or two, and some Photoshop magic. I've got to get myself back into the swing of things. I'm actually going to Europe (Ireland and Scotland for a while) so maybe I'll get back into doing some more stuff when I return. No promises.
