I rarely read anyones journals anyways...I guess I've been too wrapped up in my own personal bullshit to care. I don't want to get too personal but I've been going through a very rough stretch in my life over the past few years...I lost my way. I started to go downhill personally, financially and spiritually. I began to drink heavily to escape my reality, to escape the pain...it only made things worse. I wasn't addressing the situations that bothered me, I was in denial, denying my deepest thoughts and feelings.My Marriage just wasn't working. It hasn't been all ]]></media:text>

It's also been about 6 years since I went digital with my art...I've learned a lot but have only scratched the surface.<br /><br />I want to let all of you know how much I appreciate your comments and support. I also want to apologize for my lack of new art to show...I'm so far behind on my deviantART responsibilities! I have 1,296 deviations to check out and 1,562 messages waiting for me!

On top of that I didn't even make the top 50 in the Good Vs Evil contest! I am humbled, which is always a good thing, it keeps you hungry, motivated to improve, never satisfied. I learned alot participating in these contests and it's good to see so many talented artists doing their thing...very inspiring! I'm trying to make some changes in my life, I want to devote more of my time to postive action...improve my life, my family and my art.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Hi everybody! I decided to take the plunge and bought the new Cintiq...Got it last week. It's very different from using the regular tablet as you can draw directly on the screen...I'm still getting used to it! I can tell that it will have a big impact on my art from here on out. The sensation of working directly on the screen is very intuitive...It's like having a digital sketch pad!<br /><br />I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for all of us! ]]></media:text>
