As a few of my friends have already found out by following my Tweets and talking with me, I am recovering from surgery. I had a septoplasty with functional endoscopic sinus surgery, an anterior ethmoldectomy. Basically, I had skull bone & sinus tissue removed though my nose. The bone was carved down and the holes enlarged. It hurts to drink water.

>>> If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing the list with 17 other people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

Wikipedia lede: "William "Billy" D. Mays, Jr. (July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009[2]) was a television direct-response advertisement salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. His distinctive beard and loud sales pitches made him a recognizable television presence"

His show Pitchmen, where he and Anthony Sullivan helped inventers recognize their dreams, including Billy's father; that was one of my favorite shows. It was funny, and you saw people who dedicated their lives to an idea, and they've lost so much, they finally win on the show. Some of his famous lines "Billy Mays here with Oxiclean!!!" and "Billy Mays here with Mighty Putty!!!!!!" (He was a loud guy).

The saddest part is that he was a loyal son, a loving husband, and a hero for his son. Just thinking about how his family looked at him. It brings tears to my eyes.

Please help my friend!
is saving some money for a trip to Australia and she needs a little help!
At the moment she's taking 10 dollar commissions, they're quick for her to draw and she enjoys doing them. For 10 dollars you can get either;

A chibi badge:

Or a flat coloured character, in her usual style:

She is also accepting other normal commissions (prices are on her front page) if she thinks she can get them done quickly. Please note her with your ideas if you'd like a regular commission.
She can draw most things (anthros, quads and humans), please check out her gallery for other examples!
Any help is much appreciated.

My friend Nikki is a professional photographer. She is requesting cosplay photos, and will even photograph you if you can make it to her studio in Utah. Her journal is here: [link]

Here are two of her projects that I know of:
Swimsuit competition: [link]
Coffee table book: [link]

The coffee table book is a cosplay recognition piece!

And again, you can either submit photos or get them taken by her if you can make it to her studio!

She is looking for female / male / cross / other / whatever / etc . . . So anyone can enter.

She's really kind, considerate, caring, honest, unselfish, and fair; also by helping her, you will be helping yourself.
