It has been a while since I uploaded anything of particular worth to DeviantArt, and longer still since I investigated and explored its many nooks and crannies. I joined deviant-art in 2005, after a friend of mine referred me to it, and I remember the touch of excitement - that sheer sence of new-ness that usually accompanies a blank canvas.

I lived in a different place then. I remember trying to scrouge together a name, something creative. Over two years, this name has accumulated into an identity that has little to do with deviantArt anymore. It's something that seems to encapsulate something larger.

I've gone off onto an over-dramatic tangent, haven't I? Sorry.

But Indigo-fox I became. Over 5 other confusing and short-lived enterprises, I found myself regularly returning to this account, and I suppose it seems appropriate that I return again, as I ease myself back into the DeviantArt world, to where it all began.

I had the option, as we all do, to delete all my old Journals and Deviations. But I found that the past has every right to belong with the present, and while it is a little embarrassing to see the sorts of things I used to put up, I am proud of where I've been, and I believe it's a wonderful way to see the way I've been growing, and an effective one to see how I used to think, and act, and behave only two years ago.

So that is my justification for all those old artefacts cluttering my gallery and journal. And now, I suppose, it's time to re-ingite an old friendship.

hello again, deviants!
