Wow. We have about two weeks left and are 3/4 of the way there. That lands us, I believe, at Cirith Ungol. Or close enough to use this fabulous image. I'll post the second mini-gallery soon. I honestly didn't expect to need it this quickly! Thank you... (Read More)

It's kind of amazing, actually. I'm about 40% through the writing, and we're at about 40% of the goal. When I get to the point where I just can't read or write anymore for the day, I work on images. I believe these are going to be some of the prints,... (Read More)
