I'd like to start sketching/drawing/arting more and begin uploading again. I uploaded two recently, and I've been feeling more inspired to draw. Eventually maybe I'll pull out my old tablet and start digitally post-editing sketches. I want to improve and reach a self-satisfactory ability -- meaning I want to be able to reflect what I see in my imagination, not necessarily be the best of the best.

Not much to say other than that. Except....

I love you Sarah!

 

Looks like I've been tagged.... Egads!

In order to separate between stock photos and my art, I decided to create a separate account for the stock photos. You may see photos in here from time to time -- be they manipulated or non-manipulated -- who knows.

Stock photos are open for use by anyone. Note me or leave a link to the derivative work somewhere so I can see the final product!
