Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah....The old one was, what, over twenty pages long.
Not to mention most of it was spam and general discussion.
So I thought I'd clear some dust and make a new one. ^_^

This is the place for all new members to introduce themselves, if they want to, and tell us a bit about themselves and what kinds of art they like, etc...

We've actually seen a bit of a bump up in new members recently. Happy to see that. I'm also happy I've finally got this place pretty much back on track and cleaned up and stuff. Anyway, before I ramble too much...I'm off. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. XD

Welcome!!! ^_^
