getting my year on
I recently looked up and noticed that I was elbow deep in 2008. I normally have to spend weeks shoving against the tuchis-end of a new year in order to get it moving. By some random stroke of luck, this year decided to bust out of the gate at a fair clip and all I can take credit for was being foolish enough to hang on like a suicidal rodeo clown.
I'll be posting more updates from my "wild ride" soon. In the meantime, here's a few "leftover" tidbits from the end of 2007:
- My last project of the holiday season was to finish off this incredible ring.
- I've moved last year's show calendar here for archival purposes, and started a new one.
- At the behest of friends, I've updated my canonical list of collected titles.

new goodies
There's a couple of noteworthy additions to the site.
First off, the first official "art cameo" hit the portfolio today.
A big thanks to Jay Silber of Kestrel Ridge Forge, for loaning me some of the very artwork that inspired the finial pendant.
Hopefully, as opportunity presents itself, I'll be able to add more art cameos to the site.
Speaking of images, I've also added an image that I have lost, found, lost again and finally found once more. I'm posting it to keep it found as much as I am to answer the question "Can Mitsuro be cast in white gold?"

contact madness
I had to briefly remove the "instant gratification" web form from the contact page in order to enhance its security. It's back now, and infinitely less likely to get "borrowed" again.
For about four hours, the form had been hijacked by a spam robot. In that brief time, it managed to randomly email countless offers of enlargement, enhancement and education around the world.
For the paranoid, I'd like to clarify that the spammer in question simply took advantage of a brief joy ride on our mail server. No personal information was leaked or otherwise compromised in any way. If you actually received any spam from a dare2dream.com email address, please forward it to morpheus@dare2dream.com so that we can attempt to source the troublemakers.

(r)evolution.
Back in 1998, there was a moment where this message graced the front door of our site:
There was a great ruckus in the Dreamlands. Voices asked, "What is happening here?" The Dreamers said quietly, "We are dreaming new dreams...soon things here will be very different." The frightened voices asked, "Why does it have to change, we liked the old way!"
The Dreamers said, "Without dreams that grow and change we die..."
The Morpheus Company Online Portfolio will soon be undergoing metamorphosis.
It announced the impending arrival of the second incarnation of our online portfolio.
In all fairness, at the time it was a fairly significant revision. We got new look, a better name for our newsletter and adopted a new logo. In my mind, it's when The Morpheus Company really began to find itself.
Today announces something that, by comparison, is a mid-life crisis.
Where we got off training wheels in 1998, today we're freaking out and buying a sports car. Welcome to M2, our codename for the third incarnation of The Morpheus Company's Online Portfolio. What follows via the link below is a bit of useful information about the site. If you're impatient, the pretty pictures can be found under the portfolio link at the top of this page.
