I traded in my Intuos³ and upgraded for a smaller Intuos⁴, which I am thrilled about! The upgrade is extremely comfortable. I love how they changed the layout of the board so its comfortable no matter where you need to have it set, or if your left/right handed! It is definitely more sensitive, and I love the new dial and buttons! I have only done some smaller tattoo drawings thus far with it, mainly for practice. I haven't found a great use for it yet with photo editing, but I am sure for future manipulations it may come in handy!


I will be taking a leave of absence throughout the month of July and also a large portion of August. Hopefully I will be able to publish some of the photos I take while on leave for everyone, but otherwise the soonest you'll see the next update is probably late August, unfortunately. I added several photos to the Macro Universe collection, the last of the water droplets with glitter that I had taken. I have more experiments in mind for this, but my leave of absence will be for outdoor flora and fauna in northern Wisconsin, where I will not have an opportunity for more studio work.


All of my photos published to DeviantArt in the future will have a new, thinner border. Recently submitted photographs such as Motions of War and Splash currently feature this instead of previous, wider border. I have found that photographs of mine featured in journals and news on DeviantArt were less noticeable with the large border. If there are any prints you wish to purchase that still have the old border, I will be happy to change it to the new one and re-upload it for you. The new border is sized to accommodate only for bleed on prints, and may not be completely visible on the print itself. I do hope this pleases people favoring more image and less border (although borders are quite nice).


I have recently created a business page for Facebook! I would appreciate anyone who has time to take a look! Friend requests for my personal profile on Facebook will be denied, sorry. Always accepting +Fans!


I am proud to announce that senior member has done an artist feature on my work! I also received my first advanced critique, also from Lilyas! I would like to thank her for her continued support!
