Hey! It's been a minute!

I've been thinking about delving back into Deviantart over the holidays and into next year I feel like a need a platform to encourage myself to keep making art on a regular basis these days, and I especially need a home for the odd piece of fan art I make, which is sadly less often now - but not never. 

I made this account in my early teens and had such good time on this site, met a bunch of amazing people, found artists I admired and learned from, and even met up with a few people when I was travelling overseas because of Deviantart (shoutout to Alatariel-Amandil and dat good wine). I definitely drifted in my early Uni years and fell off the platform completely after I started working all the time. But I'm pretty stable now - I work professionally as a graphic designer and at the art college I went to as a student, which I adore, and I teach digital illustration as a night class to adults - and I'm feel a distant nostalgic itch for dA.

Soooo hello again to all my old DA pals who are still around! I know the field has changed a good bit, but I'd like to wander back out into it
