In-turn, he has broken both of his wrists pretty severely. Other than that, the rest of him is as ugly as it ever was. He will not be able to do any new art for a few months, but we will still be getting poster and book orders out for him. If it takes a few extra days to get your orders, please be patient. There will be a lot of juggling happening to get everything taken care of. However, none of the juggling will be done by him. If you urgently need to reach him, you can still email him and I'll be spying through all of his stuff, but please refrain from the usual desperate emails requesting hand-jobs. You'll just have to wait it out. Thank you for your understanding and patience, Justin Kamerer/Angryblue.com http://humantree.com/news/i-dont-know-what-to-do-with-my-hands Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:25:29 -0700 Despite not having much strength in his fingers, Jeral has started figuring out some sign language and has a message for drunk assholes on the roads. surgery went better than expected and the recovery time should be a lot less dramatic than we previously thought! We'll see how long it takes for him to start uglying up the world again. Thank you for the kind messages and also the orders to help out while he's not able to grift per usual. http://humantree.com/news/update Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:46:39 -0700 I'm back!
