Hey everyone, Due to recent policy changes on this site, I will be phasing out my artwork and looking for a new platform. Any artwork that I have created as part of an art trade, request, gift, or collaboration, however, will be staying (unless, of course, you ask me to remove it). I will be posting updates here as things develop, though at the moment I don't have any public social media accounts that I update frequently. If you're a fan of Tokyo Mew Mew, your best bet would be to follow me on tumblr at neko-tokyo.tumblr.com. You can also find me (for the moment) on twitter at twitter.com/pactfulfilled.

Graduated college (2008) and have been working at a newspaper for going on 5 years. I don't write for it - I'm part of the ad design group who makes advertisements for local small busines

I thought I'd leave a note, since so many people asked me whether and where I'd be posting my art from now on. I've basically been on hiatus for two years and am just now trying to get back into the swing of things with an upcoming art exhibit (January 2011). Though I don't plan on posting regularly to DA anymore, I will post my remaining commissions and trades here when I get to them. I know I owe people stuff and it has not escaped my attention. If I owe you something and you've changed your mind about what you want me to draw for you (I realize it's been a long time and tastes change), please toss me a comment right now. I sincerely apolog
