I suppose I have to say it.

After one year plus of inactivity, this page is almost officially dead.

I've been busy. I moved to and from Toledo, and now I'm in Florida. I'm getting back into school - pre-med, although I'm aiming for veterinary medicine, not human. And my recent works... well...

I haven't done any fan-art in ages, and my non-abstract art has suffered to the point where I don't let anyone see it anymore. My writing... I'm doing serious projects now, and I know that although they're universally despised, dA is full of art thieves.

And, more to the point, I haven't had the TIME to use dA.

I think that the decision to leave this page has been exacerbated by the fact that I don't connect with my old persona anymore. At first The Unknowner was a joke - a sarcastic quip on the anonymity of the internet and the fact that anyone with sufficient brains can find out EVERYTHING about someone on the web with a little effort. Hell, I even tried to make the journals revolve around that, making them a piece of fiction, an "alternate life" so to speak.

Like I said... I'm done with that. It was a cool idea at the time, but I didn't stick with it. Regrets? A few. But none I care to revisit. That would entail drama, and I'm done with drama, por vida. I've gotten really good at defusing it, shunting it aside, and generally ignoring drama over the past year. Another way I've outgrown the Unknowner persona... I used to be so... gah, I listened to Linkin Park. That says it all.

That's not to say that I won't be around. I watch 103 artists, and I plan on commenting on stuff more than I have been. dA was my first real home on the interwebs (besides the free-form RPGs that sprouted on the Yahoo! games chat rooms), and I don't plan on abandoning it.

That said... if, by some fluke, you're someone that wants to get in touch with me, send me a note, and I'll shoot you my e-mail. I'll probably be taking down a lot of my deev's over the next few weeks. Some of these are so old they're embarrassing. Heck, that applies to most of them.

I'm active on Gleemax (under the username Mr_Seth) and on my MySpace (if you know where to look, you'll find me... just not under my real name. ;3).

Sayonara, dA. I'll see y'alls in the comment-box.

...is dead. Long live ~U.
