Well, on here anyway...

So, its been exactly a year since I joined. As I've said previously, I joined to express myself and to earn a genuine place in a group of artists. I thought I'd comment on how it's been going to mark the occasion.

Regarding the latter I've had 500 pageviews, which is way more than I was expecting! More importantly 13 strangers have Favourited my work and 3 more have left very positive comments. I've done an art swap and even had a request for a series of drawings (although nothing came of it in the end). Thanks to all of you - you really make me feel like I belong here.
Special thanks to , and for the Watches. Very special thanks to for Watching, Favouriting, Commenting, modelling, teaching, introducing me to the site... and generally being great .

In terms of expression, my skills have definately developed and expanded. I've covered a lot of subects that interest me, some quite personal. I'm very pleased with my gallery - I was originally hoping to fill one page. It reflects me pretty well .

So what next? I certainly intend to keep practicing and learning new skills. In terms of subject matter I'm unsure whether to remain as eclectic as I have been so far, or to start focusing on a few subjects. I also need to decide if I want to group the existing pictures together when they grow more numerous, as I've seen in some people's site. If there's anything you want to see more of, please comment!

Onward to the second year!
