I feel so... pure. I fresh dA page, completely free of any blemish--no horrid gallery full of utter crap, no piles of deviations to sort through, nothing hidden in storage or scraps, no favorites to clean up...

Nothing. Completely anew.

For those who are unaware, this is my second account. My first account: .

I created a new account to create a new... image? I suppose. I wanted to create art and writing without being weighed down by my past work, the millions of deviations I wanted to update, complete freedom. I wanted to have a place where I didn't feel weighed down by friends who throw support at me because they have to.

And now I have it.

What kind of work do I do? Well, I do everything. I write prose and poetry, I design fractals. I like to use my handy GIMP to create landscapes, people, thoughts. There is no real context to anything I make, I follow my thoughts wherever they may take me.

However, I really want this page to be more... professional than my last. I may post things, but don't expect them to have a long life, I only want what I deem decent to be displayed. I'll continue to put everything up on the first account, but will do my best to control the second.

What do I currently have in progress? Well, I have two short stories currently in the works, "A Chemistry Carol," loosely based on Charles Dickens' classic (and the laws discussed in a normal Chemistry I course), and "Watching," a story discussing innocence and blame in a (usually) quiet suburban community.

As for art, I put all projects on pause upon the crashing of my computer last Winter, and I never really picked them back up, completely forgetting the ideas behind many. I have posted a couple of decent fractals on ~Ashmoo, notably "Pulse." I may consider porting "Pulse" over, it is a personal favorite of mine.

However, I don't want my gallery to be one piece or two sitting alone, so I will be sure to have a few projects ready when I do my first post of work.

A final note: thanks for coming to my page! As I have not yet set up anything, and this is in progress, your visit means a ton. And if you read that whole journal, it means even more. So thanks. 8D

Stay tuned, deviants!
