Back On Line: A greeting from south Baghdad Iraq

It’s not everyday you can say that you are working and living in a dual concrete room on a Forward Operating Base in south Baghdad. Not only working but doing what I love the most…my artwork and writing. It took a good two weeks when I got here to get to an internet café (which MWR does a great job providing) but when I left Kuwait and made my move to the area where I work out of, they offered internet in the building which were living out of.

That just hit the right spot. In Iraq a US Soldier will take whatever comes his way and with something as small as the internet (what we take as the norm back in the states) here means a lot. So now, I can continue working with my art and chat with the family back in the states.

But I will say this, not everyone can say that they have a balcony view of Baghdad –not to shabby.
So with that, I hope to be tracking with all my old friends and getting back to Illustration Friday (which I’m addicted to) with what little down time I grab.
