My apologies for my absence to fave, view and comment. I'm currently walking behind in more than 1000 marvelous artworks. First is because I have some priority matters regarding family and work. Second, I just comment on oldest first; I'll get back to you, but it may take a while. Further, the site is not letting me see a lot of deviations for some reason. I've displayed the problem to the DA staff, but that has to wait and I have to wait if the issue will be resolved at all. So I simply cannot view all deviations at the moment. Further more I'm swamped and I cannot generate enough hours to draw, as much as I want to. Unfortunately my serious drawings will take up several hundreds of hours with bad luck. I'm working on a commission, but the client does not want me to expose WIP's and I have to accept that and respect that.

So I'm not gone or anything, but just to let you know I'm still drawing and creating...whenever possible. To follow me means you need to have some patience. Despite my active periods or not, the many hours i put in a drawing, makes me quite unproductive, but I do it with a blow! thank you for your support and patience. thanks for all devwatches and faves; they will be appreciated.

But above all, it is a privilege to may view your artwork in return and that I'm allowed to see so many wonderful artwork, both from bigger and 'smaller' artists!




  • Mood: Happy
  • Listening to: My music
  • Reading: Nice reactions
  • Watching: Wonderful new artwork
  • Playing: none of your business!!!
  • Eating: Finally...some decrease in weight
  • Drinking: Water, otherwise I die

About myself personally: I consider myself as a mediocre, even a noobish artist (see below why). I'm a selfthought graphite freehander and my goals are to draw what is literally inside my head and heart. I'm full of ideas and inspiration which are usually formed by things I encounter; that can be everything. I'm here to fave and view (and torture myself perhaps) other wonderful pieces. I don't have the real joy out of sharing my work with others, but I do want to post a sort of artsite, myspace sort of thing as I don't have my entire collection at home (give-aways, throw aways and commissions). I don't follow groups; they want the priority thanks credit over my hard work. If I'm worthy to watch it, then they will discover me anyway. My artistic interests reaches a broad spectra of art. I fave those that shows passion, a strong expression, originallity and with balance. I'm indiscriminate about the medium and popularity. I'm usually not fond of standard manga, look-at-me-I'm-interesting photo's and celebrity-realism, the so-much eye drawing unless it has something unique to it.

As far as my taste considers, and a 100 times better than my crap...I'm fond of these masters:
