new art will be updated tonight.

Hi I'm back in town. You may notice pieces have begun to be deleted from this gallery. No worries, you can still find them on [link] I'm only deleting works as I get them uploaded onto my site and ready to go. It's slow, but eventually I'll get everything transfered over.

My forum IS up, and while I haven't been super active on it right now, I will be more active and around (and I do at least check it every day).

For those who are going over, I'm going to start a blog up on the site, with the things I'd normally put on this journal. There's going to be new projects, new stories, and new art going up once I'm done with conduit.

I'll be at conduit this year so if you're attending, stop by and say hi.

A friend's had a death in the family last night. I'll be out of town for the next week while I'm there with her, and will not be able to check emails, etc. So if you need me... wait till next week.

So I've been kind of quiet for a while now. I know a lot of people thought I pitched a total shitfit and left deviantart all together. Not quite. I've been quiet because I've been going through some highly personal rough times lately. I am NOT going to post all about it on here, because let's face it.. emo shit annoys the hell out of me. Suffice to say I'm working my way out of the disaster area bit by bit, but my work has suffered dramatically because of it.

I'm posting a little bit of art up today. I had promised that I'd post once in a while, and this is something I'd done specifically for a rather large group of people on deviantart who have kept me afloat the past month or so. It's nothing new, it's just coloring an old piece, but it was very theraputic and that's awesome in it's own right.

I'm not sure what else to say here. Things'll look up, but expect me to continue being quiet and fairly absent until I get my shit together.

The website isn't up yet. Various reasons, mostly webmissy is having computer/net problems and I have a crapload of art to move over. But I'm getting asked a lot about it, so ... It'll be at jessicamdouglas.com right now all you'll see is bare bones and roughness, not much uploaded as yet.

There IS a forum there. You're all invited to post, type, whatever there. The direct link is here: [link] I'd especially like some answers in the 'why is art important' thread, since I'm curious.

If you need to get ahold of me, here is NOT the place to find me. I'm not really answering notes or comments, and have been systematically deleting my art as it's uploaded onto my website. My email is vestaka@gmail.com or you can message me over on my forum.


And it's still 's birthday so if you haven't said happy birthday yet, jump on the bandwagon!
