This summer it will have been 2 years since I last drew a full image. It will be almost 4 years since I really pushed my art. Ever since we moved back to Texas my drive for art has died. Even when I try to push myself it doesn't come. I've been finding other outlets for my creative side. Photography, video games (FFXIV mostly) and watching my daughters both grow as artists. I am still amazed by the comments, likes, and follows I'm still getting, even though I'm not on. So, to you all... thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully 2018 will bring me anew and my art will come back.

Thank you,
Randy

This month a 14 year dream came true. I became a proud owner of a 2006 Nissan 350Z. When I was 20 years old I fell in love with the car when it was released in the US (Original 2003 year model was released Fall 2002.). I took it out for a test drive and was SOLD. Unfortunate event of being 20 year old male was the insurance was WAY more than I could afford along with the payments on the car. So, I had to hold off on getting my Z.

We then fast forward, I completed my graphic design school, moved to Texas, got married and had children. So, my dream of a Z was kept on hold. My family is and always will be my first priority. <3 The job market back then wasn't great and I was either laid off or changed jobs to find a better opportunity.

On September 7, 2016 I finally brought home my Z. After looking for years everything fell into place.

Like most "Car Guys" we love to name our cars. Well, my 350Z is name Audrey (after Audrey Hepburn the star of My Fair Lady and where the name Fairlady Z comes from). You will more than likely see more of Audrey here on my dA as she has resparked my intrest and love for photography and photo editing. It has been a very long time since I've done photography and edited photos. So, I'm a little rusty, but I am enjoying it so much.

So, please give your comments on how I am doing and if you have any tips to help me along the way I am always willing to learn. As of now, I'm having to do the shots with my Note4 but I do hope in the future is a better camera.

Take care and Drive Safe!

February marked my 10th Anniversary as a Deviant on DeviantART. Has it really been 10 years already?! To honor it along with a Valentine's gift, my beautiful wife gave me a full year Premium membership. So, thank you my love for the membership.

Something I have learned over the years being a member of dA is that, whenever I am feeling artistically challenge, I come and just browse the art here and it inspires me. I may never become a big time artist like the many that are here, heck, took me 9 years to reach 10,000 page views. Just browsing the site seems to help me want to do more with my art. To pursue my dream.

With the support of my wife and the inspiring things I have come across on dA my dream is still alive. Hopefully it will not take me 10 more years to reach that dream, but if it does... it does. I know that with the love and support I have from my, Sweets, and having dA as a source of inspiration when I'm feeling artistically challenged, my dream will not die.

I'm not sure if it because I get these runs of not posting anything ... probably is the reason ... but after nine years on dA I finally hit 10,000 page views. Thank you to all of my supporters out there.  I hope everyone has liked my graphic work I've been posting. I need to do more drawings. Hopefully I will do more.  Thank you.

Hey everyone, just letting you know that I am still here. It has been a busy time for me as of late.  Not that I haven't been doing anything creative, but being creative. As you have seen on my most recent of submissions, I've been doing more graphic design work as of late. It has been a treat to be allowed to be creative and get paid for it.  So, when I come home from work, I spend my time with my family.  The reason for the lack of updates to my dA.  I hope you all do not mind, as I will try to post new projects and art as they come along. As for now, they will be a little spaced.

Take care! I hope to have something new to share soon.
