This week has killed me, my inspiration hit a new low, and while I am slowly knocking down the pile of things in real life I have to do, I now have the stress of things piling up here on dA. I feel so horrible that I haven't been able to reply to as many comments as I'd love to, and unfortunately, I don't know that I will be able to continue replying to every single comment because my workload and lifestyle is changing. You know I'm always thankful and when I have the time, I love to provide meaningful comments on your work as well
Please don't take it that I'm ignoring you if I don't respond. I do really appreciate everything- and while it might not feel as special to not have a personal thank you, just think of it from the other side of the spectrum.....when you have 200 comments to go through and most of them are "wow this is great" .....well it just gets very repetitive and while a appreciate the loves, saying thank you over and over and over really gets redundant and kills my energy.
There are a lot of you that always have something really nice to say about my work and have input and questions. I will try my hardest to respond to you and get over to your gallery when I can Thank you for your patience.

Okay so I have a little Beef with some members of the community right now. During my absence, the latest winners of the *anthrochallenge were announced and there was uproar over the judges decision. Now... I know not everyone is going to agree with judges all the time. I've watched American Idol-- numerous times I've disagreed with Simon Cowell's perspective.
What I have a beef with is that I saw community members bashing and talking trash about the winner. I'm sorry- you can have your opinion, but disparaging the winner is downright rude and condescending. It's about as bad as bashing the artist of a Daily Deviation feature.
I'm really appalled at some people right now... I'm not upset that you disagree with the judges decision. That's fine. I'm not saying you have to agree. You can scream it to the world that you don't agree- knock yourself out. Art is subjective.
BUT I am NOT HAPPY with those who have flat out criticized the winners work and said it wasn't worthy and said it in the open public like a slap in the face. I frown at you.
