Hey there everyone!

   It's come to my attention that it has become very inactive on Deviantart, at least for the past 2 or so years for me. I've been trying to get things back up on here now and again. But, I've found this site, in particular, to not be very helpful in terms of exposure and feedback and commissions. This is not to say that any feedback I have received isn't appreciated! I am grateful to anyone and everyone who takes the time to look at my work and leave me any form of compliment (comments, favs, watches, etc.). I think it's time to "officially' announce where I'll be being more active going forward.

   I have just graduated from uni with my BFA in Studio Arts and am putting myself 110% into my art and working on doing commissions/freelance work, prints, building my portfolio, keeping up a website, and staying active on Instagram. My ultimate goal is to get to the Big Apple and work as a concept artist or illustrator. I've got a lot of work ahead, but it keeps life interesting as well as busy! In doing all of these things I don't see myself staying on here ACTIVELY. I know I haven't been adamantly active for a long time, but I've still tried to maintain up to date work on here.

     I'm kinda down about it. I've been on here for so long and miss how this site used to be. I've made so many great friends on here, some have moved on themselves. I try and keep up with them as best I can on other sites. That's life though and it's what makes it such a journey. I'm not leaving, I just wanted people to know, on here, that I am still around and very active just here anymore. If you'd like to keep up with my progress, art, and what not I am very active on sites that I will list down below! I will occasionally post things here like art but mainly for archiving.  I still use DA as a way to keep up with artists who are only on DA as well and enjoy looking at work to inspire me. But in terms of posting and what not, I will be here very seldom. 

   Thank you to those that have stuck with me for so long, even when I'm not involved here very much! It means the world to me, and I hope to see you all around! I'm always open to talk and whatnot on any of the sites I have listed below :)

See Ya Around ! ~

Hey out there people who still follow me haha,

   I've been working a lot artwise and my summer job. My main goal for the summer and being out of school is to get my online store up and running and make some things to sell on there! I'm currently getting typical stuff out of the way like setting up accounts and such. I already have an Etsy store I put the link in my about section. It won't be really "open" till I finish getting other things together first. I'm going to be making some keychains soon! I'll post updates about that and the store opening on the reg so be on the look out! Hope oyu all are doing well! I'm also gonna open commission spots and get that worked out after my paypal is up and running so look out for that too! FOR REAL THIS TIME! A lot of planning and stuff goes into all of this, but I SHALL get it done :)

  -Thanks peeps! <3

Hey there peeps,

   I'm not sure how many of you still come on here anymore, but I wanted to post some of my recent stuff I've posted on my Instagram account for "storage" purposes and to "maintain" my account. Will most likely post a bit today and a bit as the days go on so it's not all at once, but not sure yet. Hope you all are doing well, school is taking up a lot of my time and life in general, but hopefully I can still post here occasionally. My Instagram account and sometimes Wysp are where my work will be posted frequently so go check out my accounts there if you want! 

   See ya around!!
