This is an open message to those in charge of DeviantArt, please do NOT allow AIs access to artwork on here - especially without the express permission of the creator. Artists have a hard enough time making ends meet, whether doing art full-time or just trying to supplement their main income. On top of that, there are many artists that have posted to this site over the years that are sadly no longer with us, and therefore cannot make any changes to their settings to prevent others from profiting off their work. In protest of this change, I have removed all my creations from this site. Even with manually checking (on each individual artwork and photograph) to deny AI access to my work, I do no trust that these AI programs wouldn't work around it and steal from us anyway.

Um...are things disappearing from other people's inbox's too? I left a few pictures in there for a reason...and they seem to be gone now. Not all of them, just a couple. I'm very confused.

So...life's been busy. I wish I had more time and motivation to do stuff. I don't think I'm made for full-time work. I never seem to get the things done that I want done. For those that know me in person and haven't seen yet, I chopped my hair again. I seem to like growing it out for 2-3 years and then chopping it to my shoulders. Donated 14" to Locks of Love this time. About my usual. Did also get to see both the Fray and Nickelback in concert these past couple months. Totally is making my life fun. Big reason for this update, though, is that I'm considering making my own comic. Nothing serious, no real plot to speak of, just for fun and
