Good news, bad news and convention stuff

So, there are some news, I guess ...
Let's start with the good news ... I went to an orthopaedic specialist for yet another check up last week and he said I should be perfectly fine again. Though I still have to be very careful not to overdo it the next few days (weeks?) again, I think I can finally work some more again.
The bad news is ... writing still feels awful and hurts after a while and no one knows why. So I guess I will continue being a slow poke writing and answering comments for a while longer. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
In any case, I will have to be way more careful in the future. But I also need to think about a way to permanently find some relieve for the stress in my hand as things can't go on like this forever. Especially now, that my hand has become more vulnerable to tenosynovitis.
(Thank you, though, for giving me tips how to train my hand and wrist to prevent something like this from happening again. You guys and girls know who you are.)

Well, that being said ... I will start contacting people on my commission waiting list in the next few days to make a rough estimation as to when I will finally be able to start their commission.

Also, I will be attending quite a few conventions and fairs this year ... I guess.

First off, I'll be attending the book fair in Leipzig in March. Unlike previous years, I will attend on Friday (for business related talks) and Saturday (for meeting friends I haven't seen in years). If you happen to be there as well, poke me and we might be able to meet up.

The next convention after that will be MMC.
After that (which will be a first for me this year) comes Confuzzled. I'm already really curious how CF will be.
And after that there will be Eurofurence, which I'll be attending as well.
I'll be having originals and limited jumbo prints hanging in the art show at all three of these conventions. And I'll be sitting in the Dealers' Den (Artist Alley at MMC) at every convention, waiting for you to drop by and say hi. If you come by early, you might even be able to snatch a small sketch or badge commission. Otherwise I can still offer prints, matted prints and _maybe_ some other stuff for sale.

After that there will be HerbstCon (aka food-coma-con).
And after that ... there will be the book fair in Frankfurt again. I'll be attending on Friday only this year, as business attendee. (Gladly HerbstCon and the book fair in Frankfurt aren't colliding, as they did last year.)

Well ... and that's about it for the convention season. I don't know yet if I will attend BerliCon this year (though I doubt there are spaces left anyway).

Anyway, thank you for reading and being so kind and patient, everyone. I really appreciate that. All your comments really do mean a lot to me.

So ... what can I add? Except ... stay well, tuned and don't get involved with a tenosynovitis yourself. That stuff is nasty, I tell you.


Cheers!

P.S.: Before I forget it again ... thank you so much for the flood of birthday wishes last year. I was really happy reading all of those and I hope I managed to send a reply to everyone.
