Sorry to those of you who sent me PMs here on the site or have tried to contact me via IM. Real life events (including a death in the family) forced me to take some time off and re-evaluate what's been going on my life, so I've been sparse for over a month now.

My semester is currently in full swing, and with my time off I've decided to change my major back to art (what i intended when I left high school years ago) and study to become a teacher. Every art teacher I've ever had has inspired me in some way, made me -want- to try harder, to do better. And I think that it's what I'd like to do someday- to inspire someone else to draw and create. It's a long road ahead, but I think in the end it'll be worth the while, and in that time frame I've got a lot to learn myself.

But this is all just my own introspection. With my goals finally in place, I feel like I can gravitate back here again. Hopefully I'll be able to keep producing art, and hopefully you'll all keep looking at it.

Thanks all, and sorry for not being around.
