Ok...so I've been a Deviant for almost 5 years and never uploaded anything. I just surfed Deviantart "collecting" art that inspired me or moved me in some way. My favorites Gallery is pretty big right about now. Now you may ask...why haven't I ever uploaded anything of my own? Well..the answer is so simple yet so complex that it has taken my years to build up the courage to follow my dreams. As artists, I'm sure you've struggled with doubts and fears and just plain ole hesistation about letting your most precious babies out into the world. Wondering if your art was any good, if your voice was clear, if your just a hack. I have been an artis

Monday my computer decided it didn't like Windows anymore...and it chewed it up and swallowed it. Much to my horror. After trying (in complete vain) to restore my beloved computer's soul...I had to concede defeat and completely re-format it...*out-of-the-box* settings....(small tear). Just about everything I had was lost...(I was planning on backing up this very weekend) except for the stuff I backed up two months ago. Good for me that I really hadn't done any major work since September...just doodling around.... SO this next week will be is all about reloading everything back on to my computer....making a 2.0 version of what it once was.

Since I'm off for the holiday I decided to flip through my favorite page to view the ecclectic mix of art I've amassed over the years. (I know..I know...I have yet to upload any of my own stuff....but I promise it's coming....scan willing) I just wanted to thank all the artists I've faved over the years. Thank you for your talent and your vision. Thank you for inspiring me to heights I never knew I could reach. (wishful ideas not yet matched by physical skill). Thank you for sharing your souls with us. Thank you for stirring the creativity I search my own environment for daily....as artists we crave stimulation to fuel the fire inside us.
