Deviation Actions
...Thus time for the customary dA anniversary post.
I guess most of all I must apologize for the state of neglect I've let things come to here. I can only promise to do my best to more regularly upload art and generally interact in this venue.
Work on Palaeos continues at a good clip. Perhaps once I get to illustrate things there an uptick in activity will be seen here.
I'll see you now and then.

And that was that for chats
Some more context on my Facebook profile.
It's nice to have a private place where you can bounce ideas off similarly-minded people and generally be sociable but I've come to realize, as for other Web 2.0 modes of interaction in the past, that there's a risk of that becoming all you do. So after a year or so testing the likes of Facebook and Discord as chatting platforms I've decided Skype is the chosen one (for now at least) and it seems to me that the first chat group I've joined on there has an activity level I can keep up with.
So all invites to join chats elsewhere are preemptively declined (as are for other venues like forums and sundr
Say No To Art Contests

Hopefully one of the more productive community-oriented efforts stemming from #buildabetterfaketheropod. I hope those of you approached by the administrator can exercise forbearance regarding the pertinent recent bout of querulousness over Brian Engh's modest proposal, but that exercise, with time, has have given Lediblock2 (https://www.deviantart.com/lediblock2) a better appreciation for those that like their speculative fiction with a bit more inventiveness. That said, I'm sure the more conservative imaginings will also have their place there.
Meanwhile at the Paleoartists Group...
...an admin wonders about the point of it all.
So beyond all the issues pertaining to my livelihood that take precedence over most community efforts I can part-take in, there's this failure of communication I don't understand and consequently can't figure out a way to tastefully resolve and frankly leaves my charitability tattered and frayed far too quickly. So unable to be agreeable enough in this situation most of the time I move on to other things.
Let's see for how long I can avoid that tropism this time around.
