Ooh, do I remember that! Mrs. Doyle, 9th grade Algebra. :shudders: Not so sure about putting my stuff on Facebook, though. I was in a pretty big, if not one of the biggest, AI art groups over there and ended up leaving because it was rapidly mutating into a toxic cesspit of trolls, both the anti-AI and the nasty political kind. More sludge than I cared to wade thru for the sake of the occasional relevant posts that shared tips and ideas on how to get good results. Haven't found a replacement yet. I do have a DeviantArt account, but haven't used it in at least a couple years. Never got much commentary or even views of what I did post there, so ... 

Guess I'll just stick around here, for now anyways. 

I only post my art to my Facebook wall and avatars of me. I have found most groups on Facebook have too many trolls. As for DA, I get some nice views and favorites there, which honestly is enough validation for me at the end of the day. Occasionally I'll get a Llama aware and I'll award back to be nice. It's mildly entertaining without any truly trolling commentary.
