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 artists most of my life, but couldn't find my voice. That thing that told the world who I was...mostly because I barely knew who I was. Still don't sometimes. But I realized that I need to start defining myself and letting my voice, my vision out, however it manifest itself. Whether that be in writing or sketching or photography or anything. I need to let it breathe and evolve into what its been trying desparately to be all this time. Stifling it inside and hidden away never allows it to flourish and grow. I know this now...and I am committed to letting it spread its wings.
So...without farther ado. This is my art. This is me.

Way to start off the week
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.
Giving Thanks
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.
...kid again
Ever since I started drawing again...I've found myself looking...no.wait.....searching for cartoons on tv. Mind you..I hdn't really watching cartoons in forever....a little Kim possible here and there....but nothing like I am now.
So far all I can find regularly is Naruto and Avatar. When my brother visited last year...he was all into Naruto...and I was shaking my head at my older ( in his 30's) brother...watch cartoon network like he was still in grade school....and now I find myself...setting the Tivo for these two shows...like I'll miss some earth-changing event.
I found this site about a month after I picked up a pencil again...and I f
What's the deal???
Recently I've seen a few journal entries about artists leaving this site because they feel that as serious artists...they can't grow here. Although I don't know any of these people or the situations they have come from, but it doesn't do anyone any good taking your art away from people who might learn from it.
True there are always "lesser" artists hogging the spotlight but that's just the way things happen. I feel the same frustration as a musician (yes, I draw too.....turth be told..I get inspired by just about anything creative) who practices her craft and puts her heart into a piece that is musically sound....only to turn on the radio an
