Dear members of TheTintinGroup, I have been away from deviantART for several years and I realize there are still great expectations for this group to be active. One of the actual founders of the group (two sisters from Greece, if I recall) was about to close it when she contacted me, circa 2012, suggesting I take charge, then transfered all administration rights over to me and left. In effect, I became its "founder" although I had not created it. I was active animating and reorganizing this group for the next two years, but you know, as they say, "stuff happens", life comes into the picture and you wind up being sidetracked, carried away by other stuff, struggling with personal and/or professional problems... At some point I felt I no longer had the time or the will to carry on with this and other groups. If I'd known it would be left unattended for 6 years back then, I gladly would have handed it over to someone else in turn. I could still do that I suppose, although I would much rather close it than pass it on to someone who would not be up to the task. So if you are a dA member and wish to take over, please make yourself known to me by: - sending a mail to me, - stating why you love Tintin and Hergé's works, - providing a link to your own Tintin artwork, - explaining in a few lines why you would like to manage this group and how you would set about doing it. Your message must reach me between now and December 15, 2020. Depending on the messages I receive, I may or may not transfer admin rights to someone, but be sure that whatever I choose to do, you will be informed when it's done. Thanks to you all!
