To accquaintances old and new...

Happy New Year and my best wishes for 2018.

As Alchemica and I look back at the last five years on Deviant Art, many things come to mind.

I have made an amazing number of friends in my time here.

I have found a vibrant and welcoming community of artists and writers that embraced me from the start.

There have been some bumps along the way for sure, but on the whole I have enjoyed very much the last five years and sharing my stories with you all.

To everyone who has taken the time to comment and/or fave and to everyone who watches a very big and sincere thank you. The fact that you find something that you like in what I do is always both surprising and very welcome. Thank you for coming along on the journey.

So, both now ,and on New Year's Eve, Alchemica and I raise a glass to you in appreciation. Cheers...

This amazing piece of art was created by the incredibly talented artist and if you like it, please drop by her gallery to see more stunning art like this.

(Posting early as I don't know yet where I will be New year's Eve and may only be able to post a quick status post on the night itself.)
