Most excellent goldenagers,

Look at this:

That’s a wrist brace.

I’d been experiencing some pain with certain motions of my left hand for some time and went to the doctor yesterday. After a physical exam he suspected a torn tendon, but after an X-ray and ultrasound, he figured out that I had torn the ligaments between my left ulna (the bone that sticks out on the outside of the arm, where it attaches to the wrist) and the triquetrum (the triangular bone on the outside of the wrist just below the ulna).

I suspect it was an old injury that got aggravated by catching and lifting small wriggling creatures over the last year. I opted for the less invasive treatment, hence the brace for the next two weeks at least. We’ll see more after the next check up.

The good news is that I’m right handed. The bad news is I usually type two-handed, not seven-fingered.

This means that for the next couple of weeks I’ll be focusing on art for the OGA book, rather than text, editing and layout. C’est la vie. I hope you enjoy the following pieces. There will be more in a couple of weeks and an update on the state of the wrist.

Now the art.

Here's some art for the book from the last week and a bit.

As mentioned, more art in the mid-August update in a couple of weeks! Take care of yourselves and your wrists!
