A new year of tradition?

So it's 2008 , not much has changed and not much has stayed the same. i'm slowly getting back to drawing on a more regular basis, i have tonnes of blank canvas from christmas and nothing for it at the moment. I just completed a new piece which i find interesting.
before.

after and finshed.

Other than the obvious dry spell christmas was decent i was able to see family and relax, and spend a lot of time with the dog known as Annie a.k.a. Pee Machine. Overall enjoyable.
Movies were a big part of the break as well but that story is for later.
