Ewark made the brushes used in several posts.

Hey, all. Thank you for your patience as we work through things. Theme is still odd; we’re working on it. At least it’s not erroring out now, yes?

Mousewrites | October 6, 2008
Hey there. So, Rising went over like a lead airship. That’s OK; I’m not going to hit gold every time, and people seem to like Clockwork Doll: Sophia and The Traditionalist (which I love for the airship shadow, if nothing else), so I’m OK with my track record right now.

Mousewrites | August 5, 2008
