ILLUSTRATION SECTION Updated + new website in works

Finally, finally finally, NEW ILLUSTRATION SECTION got updated. Hurray. Ten new illustrations. But because I had been so busy for the past one year or so, and therefore this section has been neglected for just as long, I have many many more images to post stored on my hard drive. Thanks to very kind help by Shigeko Okada, this section will get updated again soon with lots more images.On the other hand, I am starting to work on getting my website completely renewed by the awesome guys at SIDEWAYS. We are hoping the new site would be up by mid-Autumn. Stay tuned.
