I've been back a couple of hours from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. was there too, along with . It proved to be a very inspiring trip--all of those paintings and sculptures! I also picked up a few things in the gift shop. A couple post cards, a mug with Japanese design, and a surprise for my mother. I liked the Asian, Indian, and armor exhibits, but the modern exhibit was pretty neat too. We got to see a Japanese tea house and a recreated receiving room from China. We saw video on how they restored flaking paint from the beams in that room. Very lovely, interesting stuff. The armor exhibit was just awesome with the variety of weapons, but I also liked the religious iconography and depictions, too.

I'm also doing commissions again too. These in the past have proven hard for me to get through thanks to either a lack of time, feedback from the people I've commissioned, or work getting in the way, but with this being only 6,000 words, I can probably get it done quickly. This is my attempt to reemerge into the commission world and hopes of my eventually kicking the day job to the curb and making enough to live on sometime in the future.
