As in the past, I wanted to stop by today and at my dear friends in this community. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't give the obligatory shout-outs to my crew: holla back `tangledweb, `bookdiva, `onestar, `snowmask, `tangledweb, ~nrgizrbuni, `cweeks, `olya, `hesitation, and °jark.

For those of you who tuned in thinking you were going to get a piece of and a ... I'm sorry to disappoint you. No such fuzziness this year. Instead, I want to talk about stupid people! But since I don't want to ruin an otherwise beautiful day, I think I'll wait a few days before I open a can of kick-ass on anyone.

As an added bonus, I have made the decision to upload a few pieces here for the first time in 2 years. I don't know if I will be as active as I was previously, but I received a print request for one of my early pieces, and I think I'll surprise a lucky deviant with a copy of their request. I hope they like the gloss finish. If not ... it was free! Who says we can't get gifts on fella's birthday?!

I'm also gonna do better this year about updating this journal. The last entry was LAST year on deviantArt's birthday.

*Off to update my before I fall asleep from too much today*

Ok ... I'm through rambling. Enjoy the ! If you're new to deviantART, welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I have.
