Today makes one year that I've been on deviantArt, and after 528 pageviews and 180-odd comments, it’s all been worthwhile. Honest, officer.
The 2000s, or the zero-zeroes, or whatever this decade is called, is coming to an end and I was trying to think of things that it will be remembered for. I could only come up with two things: iPods and reality TV. Can anyone add to that?

I’ve finished my graphic novel “Airbury Academy Volume II” and it clocks in at a mammoth 80 pages, all of them pencilled, inked, colourized, Photoshopped and Comic Life’d in glorious, eye-straining, seizure-inducing 300dpi vivid colour. Take a look if that’s how you roll. I know, I know. One day I’ll actually upload something that was made for a particular purpose.

By the way, does anyone know why they chose the name "deviant art"? Every time I tell someone about it, they think it's some dodgy website for kiddy-fiddlers!

Cartoons were pretty much all I used to draw from 1992 up until 2007 when I started studying graphic design. After that I was familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator enough to do more abstract, vector and digital based work. I still like 'cartoony' illustrations, but I'm also trying to improve my standard of photo-manipulation and other digital art.
