Hey guys, sorry for the weird journal update. Having some doubts about my art lately. I will always enjoy photomanipulation and I never really thought I would ever consider leaving dA but I'm not sure what the point is anymore. I fear my audience is dwindling. I love you all so much for being a good support system but I don't just make art for myself, I make it so I can share with people so they can enjoy it as much as I do. I wanted to really be reaching a wide audience and I thought maybe I would by now but I don't think I am. I'm not saying I want to be "dA famous" or anything like that, just beginning to even wonder if my art has been really having any impact. I've just noticed it more and more and it's just making me wonder if I should even bother posting my art on this site or anywhere anymore.

Artists make art for themselves...but have an undying need to share it. It's their way of saying how they feel, or "Look at me! I'm not invisible, look at me!" Artists need to be noticed, even if it's just by a small group of people. You have a group of people here, who enjoy your works. DA always changes as people move on. But something that never changes is the popular people don't always deserve it, and the ones who do are hidden amongst everyone else. Basically what I'm saying, in my round-about way (sorry), is just continue to make art. Find inspiration somewhere, and create. Someone out there in the world will love it, and be inspired by it. You have, at least, a handful of people here who love your art. Don't worry about you're art being good, it's great. Don't worry about people liking it, they already do :)

Sorry for the long rambling paragraph there....
