Well... it seems i have been very very inactive this past year... 7 deviations and just 2 journal entries from 2010! o.o it is hard to believe... But i still visit the site about once or twice a week. i still fave, i still look and enjoy art, and i try to thank ppl for favorites.

However, it does seem that i may be coming to the end of my deivantART era... not that i don't want to make art anymore, i've just become more focused on my music i guess. i've begun performing in bars and in open mic nights playing my own songs, and it's going really well! i guess writing and performing songs is how i'm outletting my creative side atm.

But i don't think this means i will abandon photography and manipulation (and poetry!) forever. Another huge reason for my absence this past year has been computer problems and limited access to photoshop. This will hopefully change in the near future. So there IS a possibility i will come back!! Especially as i have now completed my degree, and will (hopefully) have a lot more time on my hands.

However, i guess the reason i'm writing this journal is to say, i may not come back, or prehaps only sporadicly. This does not mean i shall close this account down, becuase i am very very proud of the artwork i've put here, and i still wish to come online from time to time to appricate the beautiful art on DA. I don't think i could bring myself to every close my account, DeviantART has been so much a part of me for so long.

In fact this site was basically the main purpose of my life throughtout my late teenage years. since i joined back in 2005, it has been an outlet, an inspiration, a slight obsession, but also a kind of home, i always felt safe coming online here and talking to all you wonderful people that helped me grow and develop as an artist but also as a person.

Sorry to go all mushy but i really don't think i would be who i am without deviantART! *teary eyes* hahaha sorry again but i do feel its true.

Thankyou so much for everyone here who has commented, faved, been supportive, been honest, and just been awesome!

I do hope that i can find the time to come back here and submit more work, but we will have to wait and see. Until then enjoy my gallery, and i will keep quietly enjoying yours.

SO MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE

p.s. i will leave you with one last deviation for now, a new song i just wrote, Tell Me [link]
