Wow, I don't even recognize this place anymore. I completely fell off the face of the dA planet, and now everyone is changing their names, I've changed my art style, and I don't quite know where, or if, I fit in anymore!
I don't even remember how to do all those cute emoticons!
Since I used to be really active here, I've been through the ringer. Cancer, seizures, body pain, exhaustion, divorce, disability, one thing after another.
I'm grateful for all of it. Every stinking, agonizing challenge.
But I'm ready for it to be over. I'm ready to emerge like a butterfly out of the chrysalis and leave all the pain behind.
I remember a time when dA was one of my greatest sources of inspiration, community and support. When I went through my divorce and started having seizures I pretty much stopped doing art for a while, and also stopped participating in dA like I used to.
I'm a bit sad I did, because there are so many old dA friends that I greatly cherished.
I'd like to get back in the swing of things here, but don't really know where to start.
Back in the day I was revered for my realistic pencil portraits and my dabbling into the world of realistic digital painting, but to be honest, (and no offense meant to anyone who is a talented pencil artist), I find it hopelessly boring now.
So I'm doing several different styles now. And I realize they may not be what you originally watched me for. Feel free to unwatch me if that's a problem for you.
I just gotta be me, and hopefully I'll gravitate to the right group who will appreciate what I do.
Love and Light!
Namaste.
