I've been seeing all those 2003-9 reviews, and finding them so interesting, so I thought I'd do something similar for myself.
Also, the newspaper has lately been doing a whole lot of retrospectives on the decade, which had (quite separately) got me thinking to how much my drawing had improved in that time. So I took the template that everyone else has been using, and expanded it to include the whole decade, and altered it a bit to fit my personal branding. Credit goes to *Kamaniki, though, for her original template, which you can find here [link] if you haven't already. =D

I couldn't actually find four pieces of artwork from the years 2000 and 2001, which, from the state of them, is probably a good thing! But I made up for that by adding an extra four for 2009, which has been a very productive and varied year.
To keep things interesting, quite a number of these are things that you certainly won't have seen before.

There are far too many pieces here to list media and etc, so I won't. If there's any particular piece you want to know about, just ask, and I'll do my best to think back and oblige. =)

Enjoy! =D And I'd love to know what you think!

You are insanely talented. I was drawn to your profile by your drawing of Fred Astaire; I thought it was a photograph! I only dream of the day I will have a fraction of your skill. :D

Oh, thankyou so much!
I think everyone would have a fraction of my skill, it just depends on how large a fraction, I suppose. And then, too, I have a fraction of the skill of other people, who are so good at different things, or just all round better, so it all goes around. =) Don't put your own work down - if you really want to improve, and work at it, of course you will. And you've got a good start in your gallery already! =D

This is wonderful! I adore your historical costumes and portraiture <3

The difference between your work in 2003 and 2004 is amazing!

Thankyou so much (and for the :+fav: too =))

Mid 2002 was when I realised that a) this is what I want to do and b) Improving takes work; so a bit over a year of practice had finally paid off by 2004. =P
