Do you want me to draw your Christmas card this year? Guess what, I already have, and it's available on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/humandesigns Choose from elf, dwarf, halfling or orc. Yes, I am that nerdy! 

The best part is that all profits (i.e. all your money after we subtract supply and listing costs) will go to charity projects on globalgiving.org. Follow our blog at http://lanahumandesigns.blogspot.com/ to see how we use the money (when we get any). 

Most of my meeting notes descend into chaos and darkness, but last time I chose a cohesive theme: hobbity 60s folksinger I just learned about on an episode of Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. All the girls threw flowers at him.

Paul requested a fantasy cover of a skinny barbarian we made up. His name is Milt Ironthews.

This is based on a photograph of a 19th century Vaudeville strongwoman called Charmion. (See here for the original, about 1/4 of the way down the page.) I love her because she's coy, demure, and totally proud of her sweet biceps. Bodybuilders of the pre-steroids era are so superior to today's models; instead of harsh, vany, inhuman ridiculousness in a bikini, they were all beautiful Greek-statue curves. Maybe the poor film quality helps, too.
