Good afternoon to my followers, my fans, or random schmucks who just stumbled their way onto my page. It's not often I post news here, but I figured I should say a few words to update my life since we last spoke or for the new year we've just started.

2017 was a good year for my growth as both a person and a content creator. To explain the almost 6 month absence I had talked about in my previous post: On May 1st of last year, I shipped out to US Army basic training. Easily the toughest 3 months of my life, but also well worth it. In a nutshell, it helped build personal confidence, clean up my act, and I feel like it gave me new purpose in life. After my Advanced training, I came back home at the end of September, as expected, ready to get on with life and provide you all with more of my creations.

On the art side of things, not too much was done for the reasons mentioned before, but I stil produced some drawings which I'm quite proud of. New friends were made and some were lost, but all in all, I had a great year and hope the same could go for every one of you reading this. Here's to hoping 2018 brings some of the same challenges and good times.

Happy New year, and have a great day.
