Amalgam

To make up somewhat for the usual dearth of text, I feel I should plug the ArtStudio software available for the ipad (with the disclaimer that there MAY still be some issues with the newer versions - I'm using an older one).  Obviously, depending on what you use it for and, consequently, your file size / resolution requirements, it can't always replace other programs, but it's well worth the 5$ price tag (yeah that's not a typo).  

Anyway, I worked on this off and on since summer.  Mostly satisfied and anxious to work on something new.  Something without any feathers.  Possibly.
