And thus I triumphantly return to DA after almost a year of absence...to be greeted by nothing but old artwork. It seems I've got my work cut out for me, don't I?

Well, it's been a long hard road getting here, here being a year later than a year ago, and since the trek was so arduous, I was unable to create anything for this ever so neglected page of mine...oh now I'm just making excuses, aren't I? But to be brutally honest, my senior year of high school by far was the hardest year of my short life thus far, for some obvious reasons and for reasons I should not state publicly.

However! all you need to know, you one or two people out there actually wasting their time reading this thing (for which i deeeeeply thank you) if even that much, is that I am a new person! Life is the most wonderful thing to live, as only life can and should be lived, and thus I celebrate with creativity! Hardship makes the heart hardy, "tough times don't last, tough people do", nothing in this world can be gained without great risk! So please! let me honor our time together as living beings co-inhabiting this Earth by sharing with you what knowledge and experience of art I've gained in this past year. And breathe deep comrade, for this air is for our lungs alone.
