New toys on the way and getting back to my roots.

Its been a looooooong time since I posted anything here (or anywhere for that matter).  Over five years in fact.  Since I am going through a divorce (again) and basically hitting my life's reset button, I have decided to get back to my creative roots in a totally new way (for me anyway).
So I have gotten to play with Manga Studio EX, and I am in love.  However, I really don't have a system to run it to my level of preference (or at least thats my excuse).  Therefore in addition to the software, i am getting a new iMac and Cintiq 12".  I figure, my life has given me hell for the last eight or so months, so its time I got something to show for it.
THe intent here is to rebuild my one time skills in the comic illustration realm and maybe put something online that I can be proud of.  I am also looking to make a major career change, so this couldn't come at a better time.  I pick up the imac in a couple weeks (waiting for an influx of money) and I have to say I am psyched.  I have wanted a mac for years as it is, and now I have a reason.
One of the reason is based loosely in an old piece of advice I once got.  The question was posed "How do i become a better comic artist?" to which the reply was "Stop reading comics for a few years".  I accomplished that as its been three years since I read my last comic on a regular basis.
I started lurking here again (shocked I remembered my password!) a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say that the level of talent here has grown (and it was never bad to begin with).  The DA denizens have been a real inspiration to me so I want to throw out a global "thanks" to all of you lot!

So here is the nutshell:
No more Bryce
Back to my roots
Comics coming once again
