As I went to go post some recent art I've created, an old friend of mine, with such impeccable timing, asked if I was still out there.

Yes. Yes, I am.

I'm not going to get into where I've been and what I've been doing. You all know how it goes. Life happens. Things don't go as planned. You don't always get to do the things you want to do. Sometimes the things you want to do change.

Recently I've been able to do a little bit of art, as well as a little bit of writing. I'm working on a series that I have a chance to be placed in an actually gallery in my city where lots of people will see it, so I'm pretty excited about that. It's a very different style than you're used to seeing from me, but I'm enjoying the style and how quickly it takes me to create them. I'll of course be creating more detailed art in the future, but it's always nice to expand your horizon.

As great as my favorite video game characters will look in their minimalist styles, I owe them all at least ONE detailed picture. Or two. So you'll see more of those in time. As for pony art...I can't say when exactly I'll have more of that. I know that's what brought a lot of you to my page, but I have to create what my heart says to create. Right now, ponies aren't what is inspiring me. I still love them! But my heart wants to create other things. I'm sure I'll revisit the gals in the future.

Hope everyone is doing well, is still around, likes my new art, and will stick around for what I've got planned.

Happy Summer All!!
