thank you.
i was thinking on why my art isn't popular anymore. it was hot shit when sailor moon was hot shit. now disney's ice queen BM is what you're all excited over. call me an old lady that can't keep up with the times. i don't care. i'm going to stick with what rings true for me, illustrating what registers in my soul. not selling out for the whippersnappers. so contrived and kitchy... obnoxious. go "shine" elsewhere. i prefer heat.

where did all my senshi go?
sometimes... i pull up the old art in the gallery. i stare at it as if i was someone else and try to psychoanalyze the artist. i did notice something.
i used to draw strong-looking girls. sailor senshi in their primes, staring down the enemy. i had kick ass characters. they died... yeah. on the vine, too. it's pretty sad. i should probably mourn them. i see no reason to resurrect them.

I love this journal entry! I'm happy you wrote it. I, the Moonie fan that I am, LOVE your Sailor Moon art, but it's not even about that. I love ALL your art. Period. I love your style and the grace and elegance that you put into your art. I don't care what you draw as long as it's right for you.
I personally love seeing art from you. Please don't stop uploading stuff just because other people don't like it. Your true fans will still be with you regardless of what you draw!
