hey gang.

been thinking about this for a while now, and i believe i have come to a decision.  for a long time i said i'd never edit this gallery as it was a monument to the progress i have made over the last few years.  however, that progress has brought me to a place where i feel that much of my older work does not represent me as an artist, or an individual anymore.  sounds a little melodramatic, but i really feel like before a certain point a lot of what you see here was done by someone else.  not because of it's quality (though that's certainly not out of the question in some cases) but more because it just comes from a different place.  maybe i'm going to be the only person who feels that way, but that is most definitely the most important opinion in this case.

i hate it when artist here on dA purge their galleries, so you can see where the conflict comes from.  i figured the least i could do was offer a heads up.  for anyone here still following, anything you want snag it soon.  soon as i find a minute in the next few weeks there's gonna be a mass exodus of all pieces of less than professional quality.  

all apologies, and thanks to anybody still keeping an eye out for posts.  i appreciate the support
