Happy New Years to you all! Here's my boring, bi-annual DA journal post! I'm not sure what it is about the dead of winter that makes me flare up in creativity and the will to do art. The yearly review and the promise of a new year? The mountains of snow that keep me inside with less to do? Either way, I'm grateful for it. I've even got a few sketches and pieces backlogged that I'm waiting on so I can slowly submit them day by day instead of all at once, I hope that will help! In the meantime, I'm trying to keep up with art and set aside time to actually work on it because I've missed it over the past few months!

I'm still participating in the MADNESS Art Challenge!!! created by Fault- you can find my progress here: [link] Not much hope in winning but I will be trying up until the last day! It was really fun, actually, and it helped me out with motivation to draw SO MUCH. I'm making a New Years goal to keep on try with my art and not fall into the yearly, months long slump this year. I'm also going to try for 100 uploaded pieces in 2009, though sketches are included. Sort of like the MADNESS so I can stay on track.

Here's to the new year and everyone that has drawn something so far!
