I wanted to send out a blanket apology to all my watchers for the large number of deviations that I uploaded today. Normally I like to spread out uploads when I know that I have several to do, but today I felt that I was on a roll and wanted to make sure that I got them in as I was going rather than to go back and try to remember where I was at. I was going through some old sketch books and wanted to share some of these with you. I do have like three or four more to put up here but will wait for a little while before I do those.

Starting tomorrow I am starting in earnest to get my resume out to everywhere that could possibly hire me. I have held back a little bit so that I could finish out the year where I am to get the bonus and additional week vacation time before I leave. I wish that I could be sure that I would find a job shortly so that I could drop the insurance that I have. That would give me an extra 400 dollars a moth to pay off bills. I know though that as soon as I drop it that I will be stuck at this job without insurance then something catastrophic would happen.

Since we are a community I thought that I would pass this on help if you can...

Please vote for my wife!

Hey folks--I don’t usually pimp my friends but I’m asking for your help this one time to help my wife win a free lap band procedure (bariatric surgery) worth $25,000. She is one of five finalists in a contest conducted by a group of local doctors who are donating their services in helping one (1) person with their weight. Only one will win the procedure. The winner will determined by the community through online voting.

I’d really appreciate it if you folks could spread the word by posting this in your journals also. Anyone who votes and help by posting in their journal and lets me know (send me a note with a link to your journal please) will get a three image feature in my next journal!

You can only vote once and voting ends on November 12th and you can vote for her at this site.

The winner will be announced November 15th and will also be followed in the media in all phases of the weight loss process--thus the reason for the contest so they have a ‘spokesperson’ and ‘test-case’ for the lap band procedure.

My wife--whose name is Audra--is the one wearing the yellow shirt. Click on the picture to read her story, but I will tell you what I know--she has struggled with weight issues all her life. I’ve seen her try many many diets and different ways of eating and living and failed every time. She is starting to have weight related health issues like sleep apnea (she currently has to use a CPAP machine to sleep at night), back and knee pain plus a host of other issues.

Usually, I’m not a big flag waver for the bariatric surgery crowd, but in my wife’s case I believe it is the only way she will ever be healthy. It will force her to do what she cannot do on her own and that is control and discipline in eating.

I love my wife very much--she has been a Godsend to me and I would like to live with her for a very very long time. Please help me in ensuring that will happen

Now on to this weeks features, I am enjoying putting these together, hope that everyone is enjoying seeing them. I like being able to show off some of the terrific work that I have run across and collected here on

On the one hand I don't like doing this, on the other I really enjoy the Premium Membership so I am asking for points to keep it going. Please donate if you can? coffeenoir.deviantart.com/give… ?
