People,

I have a deep dark confession to make. I have visited a few other forums and thought I was going to have to check myself into a mental institution afterwards.

Crazy stuff. I will leave it at that and say no more.

I attribute about 100 percent of my growth as an artist over the past 3 years to this forum and the way it is professionally conducted. I am serious.

I am not sure people know how lucky we all are to have a place like this which somehow validates your talent and enables it to grow with gentle suggestions in a place where no one is God and no one is King.

It is not like that in the rest of the world.

I am very grateful for this forum and all the people here and just wanted to say that for 2018.

You are all a great bunch of people and you have helped me a lot.
