Hey Greg! How funny, I was thinking about it. I'm impressed at how DA is keeping it real after all these years and I'm missing the community. You're keeping at it like a badass!!!!

Thanks! I’ve came and went on DA many times over the years. And I’ve reinvented my art style several times over. I’m pretty content with where I’m at as far as content goes. I’m not the best illustrator but I’m certainly not the worst! My style has gotten darker and creepier for sure.

Do you still create art?

That's awesome. It's so cool to see how much progress you've achieved by sticking with it and reinventing yourself!!!

Kind of. It's kind of been ages since I've done the kind of drawing and bold lines that I do up here. I went really abstract when I was in grad school which meant a lot of physical painting and wild shapes. I might post photos of those, some pieces I gave away and will never see again . I did a 'zine show a couple times, but I definitely miss the goals I set doing comic art. Tbh I've struggled over the years with finding a set up I like. Ages ago, I drew my physical lines, scanned them, used paint shop pro to do the initial layer of colors, and Corel Painter to fine-tune stuff (as well as the straight digital art). Now, I pay for artrage, but I think the issue is I hate it. I hate how the color palette is and I hate how the canvas is auto-sized, and even if you don't auto-size it, the grain is strange. And I've been wondering why I pay for an app that I actually really hate so much and wondering where that leaves me! I'm about to make a big, big move over to the UK so I'm really excited I might get a chance to focus on the art again (I do freelance contract translation for my "real" job , and figure out what's been keeping me from doing what I used to love. It's actually a really huge deal that you left that comment! Thank you!

That’s great! Sounds like your life will have interesting changes! I would t say I’ve achieved a lot with my art hobby. I have never posted consistently enough to really build a good following but I’m trying to change that.

I hope you decide to post some new work!

I hope I do too! XD

I guess I just meant the fact that you've continued it in itself is an achievement! I don't think it's an issue of free time because I was really busy in my peak drawing eras. I think it's just a lack of focus and I'm finally feeling like I want to start focusing on it again. So who knows? Maybe in a few weeks or even days, I might feel like making something! After the big move

awwww ;3; I remember reading about this but I'm sorry, it escapes my memory at the moment...will you be returning to the US soon? ;w;

I'm doing okay, I'm out of a job (which is a good thing, it was getting bad) and I wanted to use it for artistic growth and progress~*~*~ but it's not going so hot, haha ;3; well, I'll keep trying! *w*)))

hope things get better for you soon!

I'm back in the US for summer break! I don't really want to go back. :/

Everyone I know is out of a job. It's ridiculous now, how things are. D:

I hope things get better for you, too. I've been doing lots of illustration//like// stuff but just not completing projects. I miss the days.

I've seen you update LJ quite a bit with sketches and stuff, I think that's really impressive! The fact you can get out an idea in any form is always a good thing haha. Glad to see you being creative time to get off my butt and do the same!

Haha, I wish I had a scanner and software I liked to put things up I'm not embarrassed of here. But thanks for looking. I love and admire your art so much.
Any recs for a good tablet compatible art program?
