Matewis: Yeah well you really know how to draw :) Was it part of your job at some stage or is it simply a hobby? Ever done any big projects? I'd love to try and attempt a big 40K-ish battle scene one day, if I can only somehow get my painting up to par :P
Thanks! But I haven't been drawing anything other than very simple "How to draw X" instructions for his lunchbox. I'm hoping it will encourage him to draw more often himself, but primarily I just do it to make the kid happy midway through his six (sometimes eight) hour school day. He still holds a pencil like he's out to menace the table. (Happily, his younger sister draws and paints for two hours a day.)

I've haven't drawn very much professionally. Almost zip. Same is true for large projects.

40K stuff sounds friendly enough. I find it difficult to draw subtle surfaces like young faces, but grizzly dudes with angular wrinkles dressed in steel shoeboxes are easy to see as piles of basic forms. Plus, I can fairly clumsily splash yellow-orange highlights on any surface facing an explosion. And the subject is super cool.

Holler if you paint something interesting. Maybe I'll be inspired to try myself. I rarely do more than sketch, and so I don't think I paint well at all. I could use some practice.

My partner and I picked organic apples today for donation to a food bank in the Philadelphia area. We picked for about 4 hours, picked probably a dozen bushels, kept about 3 for ourself and donated the rest. We also came home with a half-gallon of fresh-pressed cider. We mostly got Orange Pippen's and Courtlands (which were some of the best I've ever had) and a handful of a variety I'm not familiar with which is super crisp and yellow/greenish.

I'm making a giant batch of apple crisp tonight.

They make it/sell it at the farm we were at but we didn't get any (no interest, and we would have had to buy it anyway.) The volunteers were just given some of the fresh-pressed cider if they brought their own container for it to the event and wanted some.

No fun without hard cider.

I disagree ("nonsense is unecessary I suppose, wasn't trying to be harsh, it's just...) I really don't like the mentality that whatever is being done (or a lot of things, some things, whatever) is more fun on alcohol, I find that to be really unhealthy, and, rarely imbibe alcohol, or, if I do, don't get drunk or really even tipsy from it for the most part.

Oh well, didn't say it to find out if it's nonsense to you. :)
