So, the deal is I'm all settled at work and stuff, so I can do things. Things like make comics.
The project I'm working on is a surealistic fable about discovering and developing one's talents. Older, abortive attempts at the story are here: [link]

I'm going to sleep now...

Man, I kinda suck...
I think I'm coming back to DA... I might even post my art here again.

My reasons? I miss the feedback, and the feeling that people are actually viewing my art.

If you want to see what I've been working on the past year, it's here: [link] (I realize Ive been kinda gone for three, dunno what's happened to the other two. Man, three years huh? In that time I've fallen in love, got out with some of my dignity left, became less furry (anthro), became more furry (body hair), taught my kid brother kindergarten, graduated, became steampunk, built myself a studio, got my driver's license, made two video games, drew a comic book, got really into indie and creative commons music, and I'm just finishing up trade school (feeling cheffy!).

Whew...

I also prolly alienated all my internet friends with my relative absence... Sorry...

So anyhoo, this summer I'm going up to work at a logging camp. (As a cook) I'll be up in the boonies, for two weeks, then I'll be back for one. The deal is that while there's (supposedly) nothing to do there, they do have internet, so I'll try to keep my website and here updated. (School's been kinda in the way of that over the last two weeks)

So, yeah...

I'm out of here. This time for good.

Partly because of DA's continuously strangling Licence Agreement.
Partly because of the whole Spayed vs. Jerk Politics that I want no part in
Partly because I'm tired of being lumped with this huge group of artists, And doing poorly as far as popularity is concerned.
Partly because I want to hear what people not affiliated with DA have to say about my art.
Partly because anyone with a mind to can take my art off this site and I'd like to be able to use my own protection methods.
Partly because I want to offer an alternative to art sites like this, and I want to leave gracefully before I try.
Partly because I hate the name.
But mostly because I'm sick and tired of the grey...

Seriously, I'm not offended by anyone. I just want a change of place.

I'm working on putting together a skinable server-side website, (using existing blog and gallery scripts. It's no huge undertaking) once I've got it seamless and bug-free, I'll be offering it for other artists who are sick and tired of the grey.

I'll be starting that in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I'm going to the capital. Once I get back, I'll be setting up my own website and clearing out my DA account.

For my more popular pieces, I'll leave preview shots with links to the full pictures on my website. But I will no longer be updating on DA.

For those who want to stay in contact, my email address is: starflier@gmail.com You can email me if you want my msn account name. My current, (but ancient) website can be found at starflier.stationx.ca and my new one will be at metalsnail.frih.net Though there's nothing there at the moment.

That's all for now... Farewell everyone!

Ok, if for no other reason than to get rid of that "Coral Feefs" post, (sheesh, what was I thinking... That's like something would pull) I need to make annother Journal entry.

Other reasons would be that I haven't journaled since I started my class in March...

Ok, I'll post later.

Okay, try this.
Look up "coral feefs" in Google.
It's funny.
