I'm in the process of painting for the Toys show going on here starting Dec 3. Despite a problem where my fireplace sneezed soot over half my living room, I am chugging along. check out the show at http://www.primarycolours.org/ It should be pretty awesome.
In the meantime I'm playing with transparency in my work. It's a lot of fun to plan for. Not sure how much I'll use it though.
