So.... if it wasn't already hard enough to keep this DA gallery updated, there is of course the new-ish issue of the site letting its posts be fed to AI algorithms... I was going back and forth on what to do; delete the account? simply archive it? continue to try posting? Yeah, its a problem... I also was just letting it sit for a really long time due to laziness, I got other things to focus on at this point! So what I've decided to do is clearing a bit of the gallery, and leaving what's left for future browsing people to enjoy. But NEW content here will be VERY selective. I'm sorry to all the peeps who have stuck to their guns and kept the site going, I'm sure at this point hearing another artist is leaving this place it like white noise... This is basically a continuation of the previous journal being flip-flopped on the choice to hang around. Even if it was half-hearted.

It's gotten very difficult to keep up with 4-6 sites all at the same time but I'll try to keep playing catch up here; but if you ever want CURRENT art... well thats kinda difficult to say where to find it. In my personal opinion all your options are either BAD for posting art or shooting themselves in the foot, loosing users over bad choices. Tumblr for instance, I believe is still great, its tag system and archive pages are convenient for hunting through older posts. Meanwhile Twitter is just a disposable media machine, burying anything that isn't new. And full of angry people with bad opinions. The perfect Art-hosting site has yet to be made. So until then I gotta stretch myself thin over the most used places.

At the end of every year I'd update my silly little thing I've been filling out forever, but after losing photoshop and switching computers I decided it was too much hassle to keep adding to this looooong collage. Rest in Peace, convenient meme template... Next year I might start something else to bookend each calendar cycle. We shall just have to wait and see.~
