Due to repeated virus Attacks suffered from visiting DA I will no longer be updating this site, visiting this site, or referring people to this site. I will also close my print shop ASAP

If you are interested in seeing my art I have many art sites across the web:
[link] – My personal website, you can order artwork from here
[link] - My art blog, Art, Art Thoughts, How To's, and Show Announcements

[link] – Art on Tumblr (and some random things)
[link] – my oldest blog, mostly fannish activities
[link] – similar to LJ, but  with less chatter
[link] - And Twitter, though I lack a phone with net acess and so don't post much as of yet.


Unfortunately, DA's unwillingness or inability to keep their users safe has forced me to give it up. I should have done this when their sexist, bigoted, infantile attitudes reared their heads and I'm embarrassed that it took a personal threat to drive me to this, but that camel's back has finally been broken.

As much as it pains me to do this, I will not only no longer be updating this site, but I will no longer be coming to it at all in any capacity. This is a very hard decision to make because many of my favorite artists post her, some exclusively, but I no longer feel the risk to my computer, my art, and my identity is worth being able to browse artists on this site.

This and I can no longer in good conscience refer people to this site at conventions in order to see my art because of the risk to their computers.

I am still debating leaving the gallery up or closing shop entirely, but  frankly I feel it is too risky to even take down (though I will log back in to close my print shop and tidy up a few other things).

If you have an alternative site, I would love a link to it because you are all fantastic artists and I would love to be able to continue to see your contributions to the artistic world.

I just no longer feel safe viewing them on DA.
