I haven't been on this site for very long, but it's already been a very welcoming experience for me, and I really want to thank the community for that. You're all wonderful!! 

I will be heading back to work on Monday, after a quiet holiday. Last year was not the easiest, but I really think that everything is leading up to something better. FA has surprised me in how important it quickly became for me, seeing all these wonderfully creative people do their thing, warm welcomes and kind comments. 

I am not an artist by trade. It's always been a hobby for me, and I don't think I ever want that to change. I like to draw and paint and create, and I'd like to be better and faster at it, but I've never really been encouraged to pursue it. The kind of responses some people have given me here have both been pleasantly surprising, and I appreciate every comment, favorite and watch. I will of course keep producing at a snail's pace, and I hope I can keep people interested!

This is also the first time I'm really coming out of my shell in terms of interest in Furries, and monsters, and all this fun stuff. It's an exciting time of discovery for me, and it really does feel new, and real, and special, and I really am happier for it.

So, thanks again, everyone, and here's to a great year ahead of us!!
