My Bio
Gosh, what can I say that's not already in my Devious info?

I'm more or less a Jill-of-all-arts, which means I love to dabble in just about anything art-related and am willing to try anything once even if I don't have the patience to keep working on it. During my long absence from dA (and, really, life in general) I've been working more on developing my own art style rather than working within the lines of today's popular art styles. There are still some goals I want to work toward, mainly learning to draw in a more realistic fashion, but beyond that I've learned to enjoy creating my own standards for my art and enjoying the process as much as the outcome. Welcome to my little corner of the world!

Inspirations: music, my two cats (Roc and Rohl), my religion, and my muses (yup, that's right, multiple muses)

Aside from art, I love writing fanfiction, writing in my journal, cooking and baking, exploring nature, reading, and practicing one of my three martial arts.

Some of my favorite "creativity" quotes:

"Art is not just a matter of externals, of appearances and form. Art is an expression of the artist's inner spirit. A brilliant, radiant spirit is what makes for a great artist."
-Daisaku Ikeda

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
-Scott Adams

"We are all geniuses. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will spend its entire life believing that it's stupid."

"Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in the basement . . . let me go upstairs and check."
-M.C. Escher

Kind of fell off the edge of the world there, for a while. There's been a lot of soul-searching, lots of finding myself and figuring things out.

Time sure seems to be getting away from me a lot more as of recently. I honestly thought that, with my last journal, I would be on dA a lot more and be submitting more of my artwork. Clearly, that didn't happen , and now I'm sort of left wondering just where the time has gone. Lots has happened since I was here last: I've been on an almost-year-long hiatus from life (as most people know it)   to try and find out who I really am and gain a better understanding of myself as a person, and the discoveries I've made have opened my eyes to aspects of myself and of my life that I never would have thought to look for before. I recently celebrated th
