I have been on dA for about five years now. Off and on, and for the most part, my art has shifted to from a less virtual medium to something more tangible to me in my current form. I've been drawing and slowly have fallen out of the dA scene here. My last few works were...eh...not my best photography works, somethings of note, but I have since found myself someplace else.

And, of course in my absence something strange happens. I have my fifteen minutes of fame on the internet. "Jesus Saves" has somehow become my most popular work ever achieved, a photo about a guy my girlfriend and I happened upon while driving to Houston one weekend in 2008. The reaction from the start of posting that photo was positive, many found my picture inspiring and I hesitated to return the comments because of my personal opinions.

I'm sure somewhere along the way, in my many written excerpts from the internet, I have alluded to my thoughts on the spiritual realm. They have run the gauntlet from ready and willing to accept a baptism to a sharp and vehement hatred of all things that don't concern themselves with the physical and secular. I have been attempting to obtain a balance over these few years and have never really been successful. In fact, all the while there were people all over the world (although I'm assuming mostly the Western World)were loving, praising, and favoriting my work and that man's actions, I was having a heated argument with my girlfriend about my problems with the religious world and the people who follow things like "God."

Here it is, two weeks later, and I find in my absence that all the while I was spouting hatred I was inspiring some five hundred people.

Hmm.

Sorry, I still don't know what to make of it.

If anyone who did see my work and is stilling somehow following me in this large and vast expanse that is the internet and deviantART, thank you for you comments and praise, but it was created by a person who does not share you feelings.

I realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hope that wasn't my real fifteen minutes of fame.
