It's been a long time in the coming, yet I regret to inform everyone that as of today, Thursday March the Second of the 2006th charted year according to mankind, I will no longer be present within the DA.

It's been a hectic life since I left, and I had always hoped to return and pick right back up where I had left off, to come back and comment on the beautiful works that continued to flow from each and every member within the community, yet as we all know, things do change in this world, and quite unexpectedly sometimes too.

I wish you all the very best in any endeavor that you see fit to partake, and who knows, maybe one day you'll get a random message from some as of yet nameless Deviant and find that I've started up once again......who knows....

For those who may be curious I have evolved in my art style, I now concentrate on completing the custom tattoo work that I once did (in a far more professional capacity now) as well as have picked up with mechanical concept work for a number of different sci-fi styled ventures. I would love to post the work, yet again, who knows what the future holds.

My written works can be found at the arcane-artistry, I don't know if anyone here is familiar with it, it's a literary community that you can find online and a fantastic place for any aspiring non-fiction writer.

I've enjoyed my time here, and really hate flipping this last page on this chapter of my life, but again, life always throws those curveballs.

Take care everyone

Chris Ali
