With no offense intended to the staff of deviantART, who obviously have their work cut out for them and then some, I am pulling the rest of my meager collection off DA and putting it somewhere I can depend on it actually being visible. I rarely submit art and when I do it rarely works/shows up. I know I am not in league with the talent and creativity of those who make up this community either, so departure is the best move i can think of. With any luck I will be allowed to keep my name and web site link here so that I can continue to share my occasional output with others in the art community. Best wishes to everyone, both DA staff and artists. I'm outta here.
