Happy New Year of the Rat





Gong Xi Fa Chai to you all! Happy and prosperous wishes. Longevity... yeah, you know the drill. It's Chinese New Year again! I only wish I could have spent it with my family back home, but I'll just have to settle for working overtime.

It shouldn't be a surprse to you all that it's not a holiday in Australia. However, this is the first year where I'm actually working (and not bumming) and putting in many many unpaid overtime hours. No time for lion dance hunts. Also busy shifting into the new apartment, or making arrangements to do so.

Anyway it's not all busy. Last week had soem fun playing laser wars with the most dishonourable group of 11-year olds. Incredibly fun (and sweat inducing), though. And this weekend I've got a few sizable dinners and lunches to attend.

In brief: (1) is a drawing of a Liz Lieu, apparently quite an attractive poker player. This was a first draft which I will work on when time is available. (2) is yet another one of my scantily clad warrior girls... somewhat loli in this case. (3) is inspired by one of the fanarts in the recent Naruto Shippuuden ending. The original is 'OVER 9000!!!' times cuter. (4) is darling Ogiue from Genshiken 2 (and the OVA after Genshiken 1). I have waxed about her in my prior post.

Have a great new year, all!
