It's official, I've been deviant for a whole year!
My husband, the hermetic ~
artagain started my account last June thinking it might get me
drawing again. I pretty much ignored it till October and wondered what all that watching and faving was about,
mighty suspicious looking stuff if you ask me

How much things can change in a year!
This is one of my very first submissions, and what my gallery was supposed to be about.

One of the things I've most enjoyed in dA has been making new friends and I have been lucky to befriend some amazing, talented artists. I'm afraid to start mentioning names because I know I'll leave someone out. One of my first dA friends (besides family and real life friends) was =
stuartperry If you don't know goatman then you won't know he left dA, I really miss him.
Christmas and New Year in dA was my introduction to how insane this place can be. My hubby gave me a subscription as a Christmas gift, (along with a Nikon D60) I was very happy with that. Then December 26th, I logged on early and just after 8 am wondered what the hell was going on, why did I suddenly have 20 new favs on "Walk on by"? You could have knocked me down with a feather when I realized it had just picked up a DD, thanks to Nay =
indikat 
I had some nasty comments on that deviation thread, =
damien-c the handsome pirate, defended this "fair maiden", kicked ass on my behalf and kindly topped up my subby with a 3 month subscription!
March brought another wonderful surprise, a DD on "Traveller Family" suggested by the very talented Mister Ripley ~
tomripleyI took that photograph long before I joined dA, it's always been my personal favorite of my own work and it holds special meaning for me.

And another golden oldie I love





A HUGE THANK YOU to friends and watchers. You have made my first year on dA a good one.
I thank you for your comments and
For your humor and intelligence
but mostly I thank you for your wonderful friendship


I do have to mention one friend =
StamatisGR He does an excellent job in The Yard and is one of the nicest guys I have (n)ever met
I suggested Stamatis for his first DD, it was also the first DD suggestion I made that actually stuck.
I'm not kidding when I tell y'all, I did the happy dance that morning


That's my shameless self promotion journal for this year. Lets see what the next 12 months has in store
and perhaps I will do another "ME ME ME" journal in June 2010
