2006

This spring I neglected both my dreams and the Dreambank. I was convalescing from a nagging virus, and also went back to college fulltime. The Dreambank's server started crashing intermittently and I didn't even notice til after finals! Two cycles of complaint and repair later, the site's on a different server. With luck, it'll be stable.

Readers are sending in more dreams. Keep it up! I want most of the Dreambank's entries to be others' dreams and art, not mine.

I've added hundreds more illustrations. Won't be too many more for a while, for I'm busy finishing a graphic novel--250 pages of color dream comics, called DREAMTALES. Hope to publish in 2007. And I've expanded my planetology project--building plausible alien worlds with dozens of intelligent species. They have a home page now, called Planetocopia.
