# About me

Kind of figured I should update this profile, seeing as how it's said "new to Deviant Art" for like two years now. I am no longer new to Deviant Art. Other things have changed, as well. Now married, possibly unemployed again (but maybe not - I'll know in a month), a lot happier with my drawing ability than I was when I first started doing this series, since I think I've finally found a style that works. Still not a professional illustrator, so if anyone can help me out with that...

Current Residence: Brooklyn, NY
Favourite genre of music: Post-Punk
Favourite photographer: Ed Burtynsky

Thanks, Zoe! I know I've been off dA for a long time, but when I saw you transitioned I thought, wow, really long time! Congratulations on that, by the way. One of my wife's and my closest friends is trans and I know how difficult it can be for people (and trust me, it's way easier in NYC - glad you enjoyed your visit here; next time you're in town, send me a message, seriously). Still, our friend had anxiety and depression for most of his life as a woman and once he transitioned everything improved immensely, so please hold out hope for happiness - it will come!

Hi Diego,

It's all been very good. I'm in for a very busy semester starting at the end of the week, but my new project is starting to take off, with publication in January (hopefully). Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Hi Zac,

I totally did! Sorry it took so long to thank you for the birthday wishes. I've been at work constantly and haven't had that much time to monitor my dA page. Rest assured, my new project will be worth the work!

Thank you Mr. C, Since we are on the subject, I have 1 more Artists Proof to complete , hopefully sooner rather than later. I am knee-deep in Manga Studio working on a Comic-strip for a "Bandes Desinee" Burning the midnight oil, as they say...

They're easy, just put a colon in front and in back of the word. But it's a big time waster, it's probably better to say things straight out, but I'm not good with words so Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug Shrug sometimes they help. I get them here; put the word you want in the search field :) (Smile) >> [link]
