Artist interviews always piss me off.....
And I'm gonna tell all y'all why. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. Every single time I read an "interview" with a popular, online digital artist, my blood boils. Always something about "humble beginnings" and "working hard", then somehow meeting someone powerful in the industry who opens the door wide open for them. And the advice is always the same.

I have had fans for years now, who have told me they don't see my posts. How can that be, when my artwork is so prolific?
The Almighty Algorithm. It has fucked me without the benefit of a reach-around.
Luna saved my life
Some of you may by now, know that I just finished my first completed render in about a month. The reason for my absence is in that post, and if you look hard enough you'll see some of the anguish I have been feeling for over two years now. But tonight, as I have just posted the new Luna render, I want to share with you all what I wrote on Facebook.
"Whether or not it is in anyone else's eyes, I am calling this a milestone. I decided that when I return to 3D, I was going to render Luna again. And not just any old render. I set out to revisit her first ever portrait. Currently, the original is my most popular post on DeviantArt; Although that
New store at RenderHub
So for those who haven't noticed yet, I opened a new storefront recently at RenderHub. Link is here:

Right now I am running a promotion: JUNELAUNCH25 for 25% off my entire store! Good until June 27th, so time grows short!
I have five items up so far, a sixth item is currently in the approval stage. And I have been slowly adding to my gallery there. Right now I'm selling DAZ Studio content, but once my submissions are finished, I'll re-package all the OBJs so that everyone can have a crack at them.
In other news, which is related to this, I landed a commission a week ago. I worked with an adorable goth,
