Hello, even though I have been a member here for years I am still what many would call a lurker.  Meaning I browse and glean insite and information here but rarely participate.    Not completely sure why.  It is not like I am not online alot anyway, or that this is the only art site I am on. 

Well, I have decided I am going to try and branch out more.  I will try to be more active on a few of the sites I have joined... btw, just so you know, I only join sites I really like.  This place is great, but a bit large and it is not easy to feel like you belong.  Kind of like dA has gotten the last 5 years or so... not too active there any more either.

I have decided that my art id going to be for me.  Stuff to make me happy and not care about pleasing others any more.  I just hope I can learn that patience is a virtue and not rush to put up a new image so fast that I do not take the time to make sure it is finished in my mind.

Umm, time to finish this, it is starting to look like a blog post.
