Weird. It appears my last few journals have mysteriously disappeared. I know I've been absent awhile but not so long as 2009; more like... 2013? Okay, that's still bad. ^^'
I've missed this place. The last few years have been a swirl of activity and DA once again took a backseat while I was focused on building my freelance illustration business and juggling other responsibilities. But life is feeling more settled, now, and I'm so excited to get reacquainted with this community.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone! Happy 2016!
P.S. Sorry if this shows up in your inbox several times-- the journal utility hates me. ^^'

Let's try this again...
It's been a long time. In reviewing almost two years' worth of unread messages, I realized that I never posted a hiatus notice and, to the friends I worried, I'm really sorry. I didn't think I'd be away so long and then it was hard to come back.
In March of 2011, my dad passed away rather suddenly and my life (and plans) completely derailed. I was a mess and my family was struggling and I couldn't deal with anything outside our bubble. I had to disappear for awhile and start putting myself back together privately.
Hard as it's been, I have learned a few things over the past year or so and each of those lessons boils down to one basic id
High hopes for 2010!
This past year was kind of a waste for me, fanart-wise. I did get my personal website finished (finally!) and posted a lot of my original pieces there... but I kinda let my DA gallery stagnate.
So, for 2010, I've decided to complete a prompt list of ten items. I've never done one of these before but I think it will help keep me motivated and provide a little inspiration when I'm staring at blank paper.
I know, ten items may not seem like a huge accomplishment in a year- but it would be twice what I completed in 2009 and I'm attempting a hundred item prompt list for my original works (so it's not like I'll be lazing about ~_^).
Here's my
'Cause Mr. Poe is awesome...
I'm so excited! My fanart of Annabel Lee was featured in ToxiCanvas (https://www.deviantart.com/toxicanvas)'s tribute to Edgar Allan Poe! *^_^*
There are so many fantastic pieces in this article and the poems and stories used for inspiration are really varied. If you're an E.A.P. fan or want to know more about him, you should definitely check this out!
