I just want to thank everyone for supporting what I do and liking my work. It is really my passion and joy and knowing that people are interested in it is one of the greatest compliments I could get. I love putting things up to make you all laugh, think or just be excited for things to come. It has been a wonderful experience getting feedback and answering questions. You have all helped me become a better artist. Knowing I have a community like this to be a part of everyday is a fantastic feeling and every time I get a note from a fan of WOT, or Dresden or what ever I paint who says that they finally have a mental image because of me or that I drew what was in their mind I know that I have done my job as an artist.
So thank you all and May the Light Shine on you this New Years Eve,
Happy New Year,
Ariel B.
