Bittersweet

Tonight was a bittersweet moment. I have officially closed my DeviantArt account. I have been with them for years but I feel the love affair was one sided and it was time to break it off. I saved the files I know I no longer had on this computer and deleted the rest. It was a bit painful to do while exciting as well. I found pictures I had drawn that I had forgotten about as well as spotted pictures I had taken years ago. I think I have fallen back in love with my "art" and my amateurish photos. Here are a few gems I dug up. I hate splashing watermarks across my work, but it is far to easy these days to steal and crop our a signature.

I was having a bad time when I made this. It seemed that everyone of my friends needed advice, a shoulder or a sounding board. That whole month was hell. The next month, when I was the one that needed help, very few returned the favor. I created this and sent it to anyone that bugged me for the next 6 weeks (unless they were one of the few that helped me when I needed it)

I made this for a friend of mine! You have no idea how long this took me to get right. It was created using colored pencil and a black fine point sharpie.

Ah, London! I was on a bus and we pulled up to a stop sign when I snapped this. This is one of the few good shots my old camera managed to catch correctly. I know the file is huge but if I shrink it then the compression kills a lot of the detail. Sorry.
