Always my pleasure. I often find myself wanting to leave a comment but find myself at a complete loss for words!

I know exactly what you mean. But knowing the work of the person who's given the fav or made a comment (especially my barely coherent attempts) means a lot, and means I must be doing something right. There is great depth and solace in your works, and your favs are always appreciated.

I feel the same. And I'm glad that you get it because I feel like a fav can't quite say as much as I'd like to. You are one of my favourite artists, and I think my failure to find the words is just testament to how powerful your art is for me.

I think it's only in our nature as humans to compare ourselves to each other. It took me a long time to be able to express what I wanted to even half of the time, I'm still deeply dissatisfied with most of what I create. But I am slowly coming to accept that it is the process and the piece that you're working on in the moment that is the only piece that matters, and creating art is an ever changing process, it's a part of living, and evolves with you. I guess what I might be trying to say is, keep making art, keep living, keep learning, and this is rich coming from me but, try not to stress too much about it and just try to enjoy the moment. 
Apologies for my ranty words of little wisdom but, hopefully they help in some way.

Yeah I'm quite alive. And I have been doing art too. I've just not done any finished pieces recently. My art's kind of gone in a new (or...old) direction lately. 

How have you been doing lately? Hope you're well.

I'm curious about your upcoming pictures.
I didn't see new works of you lately, so I just wanted to ask if everything is okay.
Sometimes people leave (dA) without any signs..

Well, I'm currently doing a drawing which is time consuming as hell.. but I hope it will pay of the tones of work...
In the interval I'm trying to improve my expressions with photography.

And yes, I'm okay.. thanks!
Have a creative time and thanks for the

Well mostly what I'm working on is graphic novel, which might just be sort of a web comic, but I'd put it up in chapters. My first exposure to art was animation, and that was really my first love too, it's what I wanted to do when I first started doing art more seriously. I would love to be able to create an animated film someday, but that's more of a group effort. Anyway I figured doing a graphic novel is something that I can do by myself and do now so, it feels like what I should be doing, it feels right. I do want to keep painting though too.
It sucks when that happens. But I don't think I'm really likely to leave da. Sometimes I am just anti-social and need to hide from the world for a while, but I return. 

Cool, have long have you been working on it for so far? 
You mean like drawing from photography? I do that a lot! Or just with a mirror. 

Glad to hear it.

I think animation is a real cool theme, but I haven't had any experience with them, yet. - And yesss... I guess an animated film would need a whole team, because it's so much work.
And teamworks are never easy (I think especially in art.. and of course when you're an antisocial person).
A graphic novel - well, like I said before.. I'm curious what you'll be showing to us. And if it feels right, why not doing so!
Happy that you've found back to ya roots.

Btw. I seem to have the some same "problems" as you, I currently deleted my Facebookaccount for some antisocial/hiding reasons and stuff... (I hate the attitude of facebook, too.. and the "webmanipulations"/advertises... etc. )
Sometimes I need to keep distance... but I'm totally off from life currently, because no one of my few closer friends can contact me.. (I hate cell-phones, too).
Anyway, I'm often online right here.

Oh, sorry for my bad english. I meant I'm just trying to improve my photography-skills. "Being a photographer". Or just expressing myself through this medium.
But well, I'm also draw portaits from photography, yep!

It's hard to say how long I've been working on my current, unfinished drawing. I've began it in 2013 and decided to rework it since a month or so. 
But it's just getting darker and darker.... haha. I think when I'm finished it's just a black sheet...
It's a woman/womans back, sitting on a bed. With abnormal long hair.. I wanted to do something like "Medusa", but I'm not sure if she will have "snake-hair".
Anyway, round about 40 hours until now... but like I said, sometimes it just feels like getting worser than better.
Hard to draw this from imagination only, changed serveral things over and over.

Thanks for conversation!

Ahh it can just be so beautiful, there's something about seeing a drawing come to life, can't beat it!
It might take a while for me to get anything up, it's a long process! But hopefully I'll get there.

I just rarely visit fb, I did delete my tumblr a while back though (over-reaction to something) Social interaction is just hard! 
Have you always had similar problems?

Photography is something that I haven't yet mastered...nowhere near actually, too many settings on cameras. 

Wow, if I leave a drawing that long I rarely come back to it, haha. 
Sounds interesting! I hope we get to see it. 
Sometimes drawings go through that intermediary phase right? Where they look worse than when you started, but then they come good in the end. 
That is the struggle I am having right now, I am trying to get better at drawing representationally out of my imagination and it is hard!

Thank you for checking in with me, it's nice to know I'm not forgotten by everyone if I don't post in a while.

Yeah, that's it! But sometimes it's also frustrating!
I think you will get it.

I think I've had similar problems since I was 9 or 10.
I've managed this problems and it become easier to interact with people, but since a few years it's coming back.

I like to play with the camera settings and look how the results are.

Yeah, me too.. but I thought it's not worth to lay in a dusty corner... And of course I know this "phase" already, yep.
Hope it will come to a good end!

I think you're not forgotten by your watchers!
You're very welcome, glad to write with you!
Have a nice day.

Thank you for having faith! Haha. 

Do you know what caused the problems? You don't have to tell me I'm just interested to know whether you know or whether it was just something that happened...
Hopefully it goes again and soon!

That is the best way to learn, just play and experiment but I get overwhelmed very easily by these things!

Hopefully not, haha.
Thanks!

I think I know what caused the problems. But I'm not 100% certain.
Different 'milestones' happened, I think when I collect them all together it's the reason why.
We will see if it goes again and soon..
Lukewarm interactions are fine, but I don't like the behavior, thoughts and "design" of most people.
It's hard to talk about cars, a succesful life (with lots of monies, a big house, marriage, children) and other stuff.
I don't like waste... throw-away society, Bauhaus-style (architecture), flagging, how people interact, their focus on life. Blah,blah,blah.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
You're welcome!
