Apparently, a majority of the people I enjoy here have stopped posting here on the premise that Sheezy Art is the arm pit of the universe compared to DA. Honestly, I don't agree. There are rude punks EVERYWHERE. It's called the Internet and it has been overrun by rude punks since it all of a sudden became cool instead of nerdy to be online. (Ever notice that? Supposed "cool" people are usually total asshats?) I actually preferred Sheezy despite the juvenile nature of some of its denizens, it's "rating system" and all the occasional hiccups. I don't have to pay here to have something that at least somewhat matches my web site. I don't have to pay here for basic art site functionality like "Critiques" (Way to cripple your art site for the POOR users, DA!) All in all, it was okay here since they weren't shoving the commercial aspects down our throats the way they do on DA. And I can ignore a whole lot of stupid before it makes me want to slap someone. Buuut... one by one I started seeing journals from friends saying they'd been treated badly, got wretched tired of it and fled to DA full time or, at the very least, stopped posting here (some decided to blog or make their own sites instead) or they turned off all ways of interacting with them here. To me, looking at the art is grand, but I like being able to COMPLIMENT the artist. So, with so many bailing on their accounts here and me with so little time, I'm going to have to go back to DA as much as I hate the overly commercial slop. I'll leave up what's here, but new stuff (and probably a lot of the old) will be going to DA from now on. I'd love to do both, but I just can't. I've got more gallery sites than I can keep up with, so I'm having to go to the one where I have the most friends who are active for my art fix. Most of the others don't have comment systems and are much more business-like, but I need to have only one "social" one.
So so so sorry to bey yet another one of those "See ya" folks. And sorry for the only partially coherent ramble. It's what you get on insomnia... *laugh*

You! Yes YOU! Get your shiny self over to the shops and see what's new!
Jolie is a multi-talented woman currently living in Spring, TX with her cat and a small family of roomies (3 people and 3 cats). She creates art of all sorts, but is currently focusing primarily on digital since it doesn't require as much space as more traditional mediums and is also easier to correct when neurological problems make her hands twitch.
She plays tribal hand and stick drums as well as flute. She has participated in the recording of several CDs for charity, has appeared on her local PBS station's telethon, played on the radio on KPFT (Houston's public radio) and performed at numerous Pagan and non-Pagan events in the Houston area.
In addition to creating art and music, Jolie also acts and writes. Her preferred literary genres are horror, science fiction and fantasy for both reading and writing.
