Hi everyone! Long time, no see!! I have been away for a very long time. College has been very demanding, and sadly I had no time to do any personal work. I suffered many sleepless nights, haha. Luckily, summer has arrived and I can start completing some personal projects!!

I want to apologize to all of my Jam buddies!! I know that I left you all hanging! Also I want to apologize to all of my contest winners that have yet to receive their prizes.

To make up to everyone, all of those that did not recieve their contest prizes, I think maybe you have changed your minds about what images you wanted to receive? If so, please leave a message in my journal and we can discuss working on a new image just for you~.

Jam Group~ how about we get together and do something special? If you have any suggestions please leave them in this journal!!

PS. I plan on cleaning out my gallery and starting fresh~. So, if anyone has not saved a gift I drew for them please save it now while you can . I will probably back up all the old art works on a disk~ so they will not be gone forever, but they will be gone from my gallery!!

Thanks, and I have missed everyone!!
