For those of you who haven't been around in awhile, let me get you up to speed.

The reason this site was originally located at "grittycity.tripod.com" is because I'd intended for it to house my SMOKING GUNS website. But as things progressed, I found it advantageous to keep my own personal stuff there, and to construct an entirely independent site for my series.

That new website, www.RicochetGraphics.com, has been up and running for well over a year now, and I've just given it a major overhaul. So just like MARCELTROPOLIS, it's currently looking better than ever. If you haven't been there in a while, check it out and tell a friend.

I've been working on the world of SMOKING GUNS for something like thirteen years now, so I have a lot of myself invested in it. I think that shows through in virtually every page. One of the more frustrating aspects of working on the series is not being able to devote the time I'd like to it. It seems to develop in microbursts of progress.

But hopefully we'll be able to get this underway full time before much longer. Stay 'tooned!
