This pic is the only figure I ever rigged.  It also shows something I lost and will have to work the rest of life to recover.  I hope it takes significantly shorter than that.  I had the first of two strokes, just after making Gir.  That was two years ago and I had another stroke since then, that affected worse.  I have since lost my job, my 401k, my apartment, and my girlfriend of the time.

I have since been homeless, beaten and robbed. I applied for disability and rejected three times.

However--I'm living in public housing now, and back on-line.  I've become a brokered merchant at Vanishing Point, and my renders STILL kick ass!  Losing something doesn't mean hiding in a cave and weeping.  Screw THAT. There will be time for that in the grave!

I'm too mean to lay down and die. I'm still weak, poor as a church-mouse, and need food-stamps, but I will climb back up the stairs to the sky and shake the pillars of heaven before I die.

Sometimes sometimes little things mean nothing.  Sometimes the universe can be bound into the shell of a walnut.

I cannot save the world. Only my little piece of it. If we all act together, we can save the world.--Nelson Mandela
