This is a wonderland theme for my art group Pencil Lead Dojo.

Long time since last update so let me fill you in. I destroyed Sketch Bros. Blog. and wandered alone for a while. This was a process of cleansing the soul for me. I just had to see things from a much bigger perspective than my own petty emotions. But I had noticed that a lot of people were devastated from my actions. For them, Sketch Bros. was a place to truly shine in a small community. It brought change and growth to a whole new meaning even if I didn't see it myself. What I did was destroy the fantastic cruise voyage for them. I basically created a "Titanic" and sunk it myself. (Not good Q, not good)

After a good bit of soul searching, I decided it was time to take the reigns again and do something "better". This time I would not make high expectations, and I would be the leader that I was made to be. With that in mind, I created Pencil Lead Dojo. In honor of my martial arts past and in honor of the warrior within me, this was a new group. I would give them instructions again. I would give them inspiration and joy all over again. I'm just surprised at how fast this ship is sailing now. I never expected so many people to join and actually participate like this group is doing. The theme of the week has truly taken a great spin. And now, I don my pirate hat with joy as we sail the black waters of the imagination.

So this week I have come to some strange conclusions. I have made peace with my very estranged and emotional supervisor at work, I have found my passion for drawing all over again and I have destroyed my online artistic drawing group Sketch Bros. Blog. I know, that's a lot to take in, but I was just getting tired of all the diva syndrome I have encountered here in Atlanta.

I would get little to no support in the group as far as hosting events or even coming up with ideas for what to do with the group next. I understand that in life that there are leaders and there are followers, but when the followers are nothing but cosigners, I just want to leave them at the doorstep where they belong. In truth, no one has shown me the exact same passion I have for greatness. People talk big but when it comes time to put in work, they fall short. It seems like my life is now attracting people that "do". All the talkers once again
are being pushed out of my life.

What do I have to say about any of that? "Couldn't be happier."

Finally, I'm back in Photoshop. I got a new apartment and I'm doing it solo style. Love you folks!
