For the first time, since I've started doing art, I feel like I'm getting to where I want to be.  I never knew how awesome it would feel to get to this point.  Being able to translate what's in my head to a canvas/screen and see it staring back at me—just as I imagined it—is a very humbling experience.  Recently, I have been employed as the front-end designer for a retailer and have been very active in freelance work on the side.  I will try to continue doing my personal pieces as time permits.  I just wanted to drop a line to you all, to say thank you for the support and inspiration; I wouldn't be where I am today without your insight, critique and encouragement.  

_{Much love and respect,
