Today marks my "new" birthday, the anniversary of my stem cell transplant. Six years of being in remission from acute leukemia! Woohoo!
And for a very brief update, I'm currently freelancing for DreamWorks Animation as a character designer for one of their upcoming features, along with juggling several other freelance projects and promoting the latest Daily Zoo book. Busy, but good!
Even if you're not a cancer survivor, please give yourself a moment today to take a deep breath and pause while you reflect on the many things you are grateful for in your life!

What an astounding milestone, Congrats! I myself hit my 2nd Bone Marrow Birthday back in February. You are a great inspiration, your example and books have me focusing more on my art and on living life. Wish you the best for many birthdays to come.
Congrats with milestone and the character design job! Thanks for reminding me about the littlest things, need that from time to time;) Taking a deep breath now:)
Thanks, Brandon. Congratulations on your anniversary too! Best wishes to you, too, for good health and creative adventures!
Thanks, Gunvor! Yes, life can get so busy and full that it's always good to have a reminder to slow down and take a deep breath once in a while. Even after facing cancer, I still need to be reminded every so often. Good health to you! Breathe deep!
