Today marks the seventh anniversary of my slow and quiet, yet steady, activity on deviantART. There aren't many other things in this world I've had a longer association with, come to think of it.

Anyway, not bad, right? This account of mine has got to be one of the older still active. I'd joined up only about a year and a half after dA came online. In those days, it was still just growing out of its skinz roots. I've seen lots of cool artists come and go. Yeah, this place has definitely changed over the years. I've changed, too. Right after joining, I had a nervous breakdown, and shortly after that, I began having some creative breakthroughs. I still have an example on this site of work from the time around when I had just joined up:

I hadn't discovered the tech pen yet, and my style at that point was just beginning to really form. It's still forming, actually. I feel more solid, both in my work, and in my life, yet it all still feels interesting, if not unconventional.

Huh. This little milestone has sent me on a little stroll down Memory Lane. Nice.
