I've been a member of DeviantArt for many years (see user ~sinisterkiss) but you may have noticed I have not been very active within the last year. I haven't stopped working on my art, I've simply stopped sharing. Ever since DevArt became cool with the emos, hipsters, myspacers, and scenesters I've watched it all go downhill. This site which was once a wonderful art community filled with supportive and talented individuals, has now become tainted with immature, egotistical assholes. Not to mention, I've seen many of my concepts for photo shoots blatantly ripped off and have even had my photos, paintings, and written word stolen and used on other sites without my permission. I'm walking away from here with no regrets and I am glad to have met all the wonderful friends I have made here on DA. I will never forget the kindness you have all shown me. I wish you all the very best in your artistic endeavors. Feel free to add me on Facebook where I am a bit more active. You can find me there under my real name Brandy Durante. Take it easy guys.
