Hmm, it's been a long while since I visited my DA page. I apparently hit 100,000 views sometime along the way, and I have no idea when it happened. All I can say is wow, thanks to everyone who visits my page. I'm glad you took the time to drop by.
So... a bit of an update on my life. I've been keeping busy with freelance work for the last few months. A friend of mine from film school and I decided to start a website/dvd design company, so we've been working our asses off on that. It's been good so far, and we're able to make enough to cover rent and a bit more, but it's taken up a lot of time. Especially considering I'm trying to get some minor crewing done on small thesis film shoots and such, and I'm trying to get cinematography jobs here and there. Also been doing some writing, working on two different screenplays. (One of them for a small amount of pay, yay!) I've been freelancing in so many different fields, I'm not even sure what to call myself when people ask me what I do. Heh heh.
Anyway, I'd limited myself to really posting at only one site for the last few months, and I'm afraid DA wasn't that site. But I've got a little more time this month and the next, so I'm back. I hope everyone has been well. Apologies for not responding to notes and comments in that time. I'll try to get to some of them eventually.
I don't really have much to post in my gallery since I haven't finished any serious personal artwork in months. (Just speedpaints and rough sketches for the most part.) I do have a few commissions to finish up, although I am not taking any new ones until the current batch is done. But I almost never post those here anyway, so that's not an issue. I do have one pic I'm going to post later today, but it's just a glorified speedpaint, so blah....
A few things to announce:
I've run a Rurouni Kenshin Fanart Contest every year for the last 3 years. And I've decided to continue with it this year, although I'm not sure how much of a turnout there will be (since I think the fandom is dwindling in numbers a bit). But here's my shameless plug for that. So for those who are aware of my RK site, yes, the contest is on for this year (even though I haven't updated the site itself in ages.) Please consider submitting some artwork. The more the merrier!
I'm going to be attending Anime Expo again this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing friends from DA, Gaia, and RK related sites there. If you happen to go, please feel free to look for me in artist alley. Drop by and say hello!
And that's about it for now. This was a rather pointless Journal post, wasn't it? Heehee! ^_^
Content 
Do you accept altered books as a possbility for submission?
I'm assuming you'd have to take a photograph of it? Yeah, it's acceptable as long as you have your signature somewhere in the photo (maybe on a note card or on the book itself) and as long as the artwork isn't dependent on the original cover art of the book. In other words, it's fine if the physical structure of the book is required to contain your art. (That would be no different than using canvas for a painting or clay for a sculpture.) But it's not fine if the original cover art of the book is incorporated into part of your art, since then, the entry wouldn't be 100% yours.
