On Tuesday I will have been on DA for 4 years! EPIC!

This year I have:

-Gained 21 watchers.
-Gone from 10,942 pageviews to 16,910.
-Added 145 Deviations.
-Gone from 72,016 deviation views to 105,395.

So this time last year I had just got done uploading all my photos from the March 28th My Chemical Romance concert. So overall, I think there has been some extreme improvement in my art. I've tried more things such as t-shirt design, animation, an advent calendar, digital painting, woodworking, and I've gotten back into painting, which I had pretty much sworn off for most of my teenage life until recently.

I've also found my niche in photography a bit in concert photos and long exposures. I still need to improve in both, but I think I'm headed in the right direction.

This year I've met *ReallyCesya and she's become a HUGE staple in my artwork because 1)She inspires me to be a better artist, 2)She is a gorgeous model and 3)We share a love for Umbrella Academy that just could not be understood by anyone else.

On a somber note, I was informed the other day that my highly-popular deviation "Kikyo" was deleted for being a "direct copy" of an existing work, which is a physical impossibility unless I replicated an artwork unknown to me accidentally after 3 hours' work in Photoshop. So it goes. It was a commissioned work for ~tainted-aura and she already got her use out of it. The rest were fringe-benefits. I have a feeling whoever reported it was meerly struck with jealousy at the sight of it.

Special thanks for featuring me go to:

and and to for always supporting me like a DA mother.

And to my inspirations:



and anyone else I watch! And also thanks to all my watchers and fans. I love you more than Russell Brand loves chorus-lines of prostitutes! More than scene kids love smoking! More than Godzilla loves destroying cities! More than a zombie loves eating brains. That's how much. And don't you forget it.
