Oh, yes, we have hired another Mike on at the shop and as soon as we get him settled in and hazed a bit (ha ha), we’ll share his picture and portfolio with you!  So, sit tight and be cool, baby birds!  You’ll get fed soon enough!

Sam and Charity, our resident lovebirds, have left for California, the land of milk and honey in their eyes.  Anyway, we’re sad to see them go.  Charity had actually left a couple months back to pursue an art degree, but she came back and got Sam this last week.  We wish the best for them and hope to see them many times in the future.

We are pleased to have gained a talented and hardworking new artist – Bum. You had a great first week and I can’t believe you took the coveted immunity necklace (that grants the wearer immunity from nothing). Not a bad start!
