I love the proliferation of peppermint and chocolate-mint flavoured treats at this time of year. They're the one point of sensory joy amidst the flashing lights and cacophony of jingling bells, cheesy repetitive christmas carols, and shouted greetings. And cup of hot chocolate, stirred with a candy cane is a perfect accompaniment to a warm heavy blanket and a good book while I avoid the throngs of stressed out holiday shoppers. ^.^

It's Monday, so I guess I should do a summary post...

Icons are temporarily on hold while much of my audience is off for the holidays and will resume in January. In the meantime, if you do happen to be online, and you've prompted or tipped me this year, feel free to request one as a holiday present. :)

I started a fundraiser this week to buy a Wacom Inkling. If you've ever wanted an original sketch from me, but were prevented from getting it by my all-digital workflow, now's your chance to fix that!

Art from this week:
Mother-Tongue
Creeped Right Out
Igor's Creature
Aurora's World

Tips this month: $35

I love chocolate mint stuff too. My favorite chocolate company (well, one that makes dark chocolate that is exactly to my taste and is sold around the holidays at my grocery store) has chocolate mint coins with little crunchy candy cane bits, and I can't stop devouring them.

I want to contribute to your Inkling fundraiser but I can't think of what to ask for!

I couldn't, either, so I threw in with "can I come up with it later?"

But *I* think it should be something in re. your prison planet.

I was hoping you'd pop in with a suggestion :D I like that one! Hmm, I shall ponder.

If it's not too greedy, I'd love another Meeks icon for Christmas! Unicorn/Factory.

*perk* Oh can I can I? Or with three of your icons, would that be too greedy?
