**Giggles!**

A while back, my good friend at FurAffinity, the magnificent  adorableinall , did a few of these portraits of my trinity of characters who define my personality, but they also are part of the stories I write and the role-playing that I do online when I need to step away from the real world for a while and take a much needed break. Now, originally back in my youth, I was far more of a portrait artist of limited talent, but you have to start someplace and I've often thought of myself as more of a writer. Mine is more of a cartoony style, sort of a bastardization of both Marvel comics, thanks to How To Draw Comics from the 1970s or so, and various manga and anime artists like Masume Shirow, Rumiko Takahashi, and Kenichi Sonoda. An artist like Adam Warrent's work was also an influence back when I dreamed of being something better, someone bigger, and certainly with a career in some sort of media. It's been the best of times, the worst of times to be sure, but all-in-all, I think I couldn't ask for much more out of life than what I have now.
