NYRICO2003

Ive been trying to reach this guy for quite some time now but to no avail. Then i remembered juz a few days ago that we used to send messages via emails. There i found old undeleted messages in store so i decided to contact him as he hasnt logged in his DA account for quite some time now.

It was juz yesterday that i received something from him and it turns out he's in jail at riker's due to some dispute with a coworker which escalated to something bigger. His coworker filed charges and he's currently serving 9-12 months. He says he's doing well despite the situation he's in.

He assures that he will be back to DA once he gets out and that he will give out the prizes for the winners of his contest. He is terribly sorry for the delay in everything. For those who entered his contest before the deadline and werent posted, please give me a link and i'll attach those pics to my emails to him. Thanks for reading.

FEATURED DEVIANTS

- one of the friendliest people ive met here in DA and its been a hoot knowing her! But aside from her sunny personality, she's one talented person and keep in mind, she does her pieces not by using a Wacom but a mouse! a Mouse! could ya believe that? You can see one of her pieces here [link] Juz imagine what she could achieve with a Wacom tablet!!!

- this dude is the first friend ive ever made here in DA and he's one cool person. checkout his OC's based from the game City of Heroes... he's got some cool character concepts!

- my boy Gav here is really talented especially with comic book related stuff. I always hate joining contests he's in coz he makes me eat his dust! LOL. He's got a distinct style of his own and check my fave piece of his here... [link]

- she's someone i got to know during 's contest and i loved this piece of hers! [link]

- this girl right here is one fun person to talk to and she always have these crazy ideas regarding little ponies that crack me up! There are times that i mention a funny idea to her and the next day, wham! there it is in paper! I believe this girl could go places when she gets a hold of a Wacom tablet.

I wanted to mention every single friend and watcher i have in this little area here but i didnt want to make this long. You guys know who you are and i thank you for all your support and friendship! When i reach my 2000 pageviews, im planning to give back something to show my appreciation to you guys.

2000 PAGE VIEWS!!!!!
