I had the pleasure of joining a couple of nights on the beach, pushing sand around, and getting inspired by Yuval Nathan and Guy Ben Shetrit from Eatliz.

I've been busy with work and family, you know how that goes. But now I've set a new goal for myself - to start drawing again and improve my very very rusty skills.
