I'm not very good at speeches, but for the sake of this commemoration, I'll give it a go:
Thank you guys so much for supporting me through the last 5 years, and the last 300 pictures. The amount of support my artwork has garnered is unbelievable, and all of the kindness I've received personally is extraordinary. Everyone's kind words of encouragement, constructive critiques, and overall enthusiasm helped shape me into the artist that I am today. I read and take in every single comment on my work, because I know you guys are helping me grow and flourish as an artist.
As for my support to you all, it may seem like I'm pretty unresponsive, or that I like to post artwork and fall off the grid, but that isn't the case. Creepy as it is, I lurk around this website every single day, because I love seeing artists here grow. I read and/or view every single notification in my backroom, so even if you think that I haven't peeked at your astounding artwork, or that I don't care enough to read your World, then think again, because I've already been there!
Now, the picture... I know I could've done some elaborate scenery, or surreal/conceptual piece, but being a minimalist, I decided it'd be best to keep it simple and just combine my favorite things: patterns, clouds, lineart (which may not come across in my digital pieces, but if you've seen my traditional work, I love love love inking), fun poses, and friendship. It may not be the most amazing thing in my gallery, but it speaks the excitement and hope that I'm feeling right now.
I've always been the kid with my head in the clouds. It's wonderful to be surrounded by people who are all up there with me. :) I love you guys so, so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now here's to 5 more years, and 300 more pictures.
