I edited my profile yesterday and updated one of my VERY OLD deviations while accidentally checking a box for notifying my watchers, so I think I mislead some of my friends into thinking I'm back (which I am not - sorry!). But while I'm here of course I'd like to say 'hello' and 'how are you?' and that I hope you're all doing good. Lots of you left comments and sent me notes in the previous year asking if I was okay or why I'm not active on deviantART... There are a few reasons like: dA's quality of art has dropped enormously, there is more trash than art on this site and I dislike the way they changed some things (like reporting art theft, pornographic content, etc.); another reason is that I have some health issues (nothing too serious) that prevent me from sitting at my PC for hours and staring at the screen; and the main reason I left dA being that I was in my final year of my studies and I put my focus on finishing my thesis - which I did and now I am Master of Fine Arts in Painting.

In any case, I probably won't be coming back to dA (at least for now I don't have that intention but who knows if I'll change my mind in the future). I am sorry. There are many dear friends here but I simply don't have will and time for a site that deviantART has become. I have reconnected with many of you on other social platforms (Art Limited, Facebook, Instagram - links are in my deviantID). I also created my website recently with WIX. It looks best on a PC screen or a smartphone, but for some reason might look weird on tablets and laptops.
