Hey, guys, I know it's been, like, five years since I last posted here, or something ridiculous like that, but the other day I was going through the tupperwares where I store my old art and I had the thought of updating this page.

Thanks to any of my followers who are still hanging around, and I look forward to meeting some new ones, too!
