Continuing the tradition of my quarterly journal, I felt like I had to come here and say a little something. Specially since today marks my one-year anniversary of joining deviantArt

I haven't been as active lately as I was when I began, but I still come here almost every day and keep checking out, favoriting and commenting on the amazing works by the great artists I've come to discover, respect and admire

I fully intend to become more active here again. I've been stuck with too many things on my plate. And lately I've been feeling like, if I'm not doing what I should be doing, then I have no right to do what I want to be doing either... am I making any sense? Anyway I'm trying to catch up and resume many of my ever unfinished projects. Diversify my artworks a bit more. Some more photography will finally make it's way into my gallery, and I'll finally complete the many things I once set out to do and threatened several people with

I want to thank my friends and everyone who might read this for this amazing year. I always say it, but it's a renewed message since I still mean it: this community, its activities and support have restored my agonizing faith in humankind Being in touch with creative people, who generate things, makes a world of a difference. While the rest of the web seems to be full of jealous, idle trolls, this place is a golden haven I'm so glad to have found.
