After a long, fun run just going under my own name here on FA, I have decided it was time for me to re-brand myself and bring all my various projects and works together under one, unified name.

From now on, all artwork by  mitchdlg Mitch de la Guardia, and  madmarten the MAD Marten will be appearing at  mongooseink, and for the next few months will also be cross-posted to their regular galleries. Also, additional art, writing and editing will be provided by Martin Frakes and Alan Foster, who are both coincidentally myself.

Mongoose Ink is also proud to be the new, official news and update page for Mitch de la Guardia's N'duk the Hunter book series, and will soon be premiering the all-new N'duk the Hunter comic, too. In addition, "Blind Eye," a project I have in the works featuring the MAD Marten and his cast will also be appearing at  mongooseink, once I get a chance to get it all underway.

In addition, for future furry cons and gatherings, my table and trade name will be listed as "Mongoose Ink." because I feel it pulls all my varied works together in a cohesive, happy way, and I can stop feeling so schizophrenic at my table! Yes, I'll still respond to Mitch, as it is my name, but no, I won't take offense if you call me Mongoose Ink, Inky, 'Goose, or Mr. Awesomepants.

I know this is bound to cause confusion for some time as not everyone is going to read this journal and folks will be wondering who Mongoose Ink. is, and why they think someone else is posting my art. So, for the next few months, all three of my galleries will be up and running, and heavily labeled as to the transition to the unified name of Mongoose Ink. If you liked either of my galleries, please feel free to switch your +Watch's to  mongooseink instead, as it will be my primary FA presence shortly.

Thank you everyone for your understanding, and to all of you, I bid you a warm welcome to Mongoose Ink.! And to everyone I owe commissions to, they should all be done and in the mail by no later than Monday. Yes, every one of them.
