Yes, after over a year of being gone I'm back to dA, and with a new painting even. My body is still quite wrecked from being hit by an SUV, but I've decided to just ignore that and begin painting again. I hope to finish the book soon but I have a few paintings in my head I want to get out on paper before working on that project again. I'll be around and I'm sure I owe you all a lot of comments on your deviations so look for those. It's nice to be back.

I'm not on the site much, but I'll try to leave comments on everyone I follow soon. :)
