À tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir..


Well friends, it's time to pack up the deviations and move on to new ventures.  I'm grateful to all the people who have helped me grow around here and thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights.  Unfortunately, Deviantart no longer feels like a home for me.  All I seem to see is uninspired recreations of anime, or whatever flavor-of-the-week is at the time over and over... this is between the silly advertisements and the new trend of artists asking for 'help'.  The first journal post I saw for someone asking for help I thought it could very well be legitimate and after talking to the artist I sent out a hundred dollars to help.  I know a bunch of other people also contributed.  I know full and well that it was completely my choice to do so, and I don't regret helping those in need.  Shortly after I was bombarded with journals of 'so and so needs help because his girlfriends dog bit him in the left testicle while he was doing twister and he will draw sum awsume pokemon charikturz for commissions if I could help him out!'  10 Journals from 34 different artists about purchasing your art book gets really old, really fast.  I know I can turn them off, that's not the point.

I'll still be poking my head in to see what my frends have been up to, but I won't be posting anything more here.  Eventually I'll end up with my own place on the interwebs (scary thought!) and I hope my friends will swing by and say hello.  

Thanks to all of you who stopped by and commented or just dropped a note to say hello, I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors!
