Time sure does fly by.  I've been quite busy lately with school that I actually didn't realize it :)  I hope all of you are well.  I know I've been M.I.A. for the past 5 or so months, but I'm eagerly anticipating a summer return when school is over and I can take a breather.  Just wanted to thank all of you for the continued support.  Hope to drop some new pieces for you pretty soon, so stay tuned!<br /><br />Stay blessed,<br />Steve a.k.a.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Hello friends,<br /><br />Just wanted to share with you the news that I've been waiting for a while to receive: I'm going back to school in the fall to get my Masters in Art Education!  Needless to say, I'm very excited for this new chapter in my life.  When I was in undergrad, I don't think I pushed myself as hard as I should have and I am really looking forward to getting another chance to prove my worth.  It's time to stop making excuses and time to start producing some really, really awesome artwork.  I can't wait!!<br /><br />Stay blessed,<br />Steve a.k.a.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Hey Guys!<br /><br />Well, it certainly has been a while since I posted anything, and for that I do apologize. I just wanted to let you all know that I am in full swing art mode trying to beef up my portfolio to go back to school this fall. Initially, I was going to wait to show you what I've been working on, but I decided that since I still have a couple months before my deadline I figured it might be beneficial to have some other eyes look at it before my final submission. I have a couple pieces done already, but I'll only be uploading them sporadically (I never liked art dumps) so please stay tuned. And again, my humblest thanks to all of the favs,  ]]></media:text>

I recently picked up "King David" which was written (or rather adapted from the Bible) and illustrated by Mr. Baker, and I gotta say, it was pretty fantastic. If you've never read the bible, then let me be the first to tell you *spoiler alert* it's kinda dull (and oh so confusing). Now don't get me wrong, what happens in the bible is about as  ]]></media:text>

I've been trying to re-evaluate my life (again) and just haven't been really inspired to do anything art related. I have been doing a little bit here and there to help out a fellow dA-er (more on that later) and managed to produce a piece last weekend. I've been digging on a lot of traditional art lately, and it's making me question my digital exploits.

But I will say that this artist is apart of the 1,000,000 pageview club (I don't believe this club actually exists, it's just what I call it).

You guys are aces in my book! I can't even begin to thank you all for the kind words and faves and devwatches and llamas. As many of you know, the past coupe weeks were pretty terrible for me, but when I woke up this morning, I was floored with the news, I'd received a DD!

While her death was not completely unexpected, as she'd been having health problems of late, it is still a heavy blow to me and my family. We will take our time and we will grieve, but again, I just wanted to let you all know in advance if my presence here diminishes slightly. And I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of the support you guys have given me for the past 3 years. You truly don't know how much it has meant to me.

Also, I know my posts have been a little sporadic of late, but rest assured, these days, it's all about quality over quantity.

I can't tell you how excited I am to 1) not have a desk job and 2) to be able to have the time to do my art the way I've always wanted to.

I was never a fan of uploading unfinished works, but I really don't want to keep you all waiting forever (although, I'm sure many of you have forgotten/don't care...)

It still works when I brows a single artist's gallery, or my own gallery, but not when I try and look at the art of the people I watch...it's quite frustrating and time consuming to have to hit the back button on my browser to scroll through 100s of deviations *sigh* :(<br /><br />P.S.

I'm still not done the piece that was to be my triumphant return (I know, I know, I'm insanely slow...and I procrastinate...and I get distracted easily...) but in my distraction, I was able to bang out a little color piece from a dA-er I was just made aware of (who is quite awesome, btw). I'm wondering, should I upload that piece, or just wait until I finish the piece I planned to upload to announce the winner of my contest. And yes, there is a winner, but I'm not telling. So I'll leave it up to you guys. If you wanna see the quickie I just did, or wait for this crazy other piece that somehow refuses to get done ]]></media:text>

It is true what they say that you don't realize how much you miss something until it's gone. And boy did I miss painting. Just so you know, my plan was to save up and buy a Cintiq, but that plan sort of fell by the wayside. So I opted for the much less expensive Intuous4, and I gotta say it's pretty damn nice so far! But yeah, my plan was to finish this piece I'm working on now in time for my 3 yr anniversary but due to familial issues, both good and bad, I was unable to complete it ]]></media:text>

For the moment, however, I'm going to put my aid on hold while I catch my breath (that was a lot of critiques! but I really did enjoy it) and I will definitely let you all know when I open it up again.

This is something that just kind of popped in my head and I thought I'd share. Again, I warn, viewer discretion advised :)<br /><br />Anyway, so if any of you are in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., or have been paying attention to the news, you know about the INSANE blizzard that has hit us and then hit us again. My job was closed today because of the inclement weather and I was quite bored just sitting around not doing anything of merit (couldn't even do any art, and if you want to know why, please read this: http://northchavis.deviantart.com/journal/28877918/).

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So, I've been thinking about this for a while and I thought I'd share my thoughts on what I call the 10% Rule. It seems that all over dA only 10% of any given person's followers are active. Now this is not a hard and fast rule, but generally speaking, as I've noticed, if you have 10 followers or 10,000 followers it seems only about 10% of them will fav, comment, and interact with you. And my question is why is that? I mean, I am thankful for everyone who follows me (especially recently since I've done nothing to warrant it) but even when I was uploading more regularly, only about 10% of you were active.

And unlike last year, I'm not going to ask you to have a character for me to choose from, I'm gonna leave it open to anyone. Just reply to this journal saying you want to be considered or send me a note and I will pick someone at random to win a commish. Sound good? Good lu ]]></media:text>

And unlike last year, I'm not going to ask you to have a character for me to choose from, I'm gonna leave it open to anyone.
