I won't be updating this journal, so you should visit my MySpace page if you'd like to know more about me. I'm writing this entry so that you'll know what to expect from me on deviantART:

Photography:
I really don't consider myself a photographer; I just like taking photographs. Most of my deviations are photos simply because taking and posting them requires very little work. (At least I'm honest, right?)

Drawing:
Let me begin by saying that I can't draw. I have, however, recently decided to learn, and I intend to chronicle that journey here on deviantART. The results will hopefully be interesting, probably be intermittent, and certainly be laughable. (But you can laugh if you want. I forgive you.)

3D Artwork:
I was exposed to 3D Studio Max -- a 3D modeling and animation program -- two years ago, and I've been dying to learn more about it ever since. Life has repeatedly intervened, but life has to end sometime, right? (Wait...)

Manipulations:
I know that deviantART emphasizes other forms of expression, but I love manipulations. They're my bread and butter at YTMND.com, where I can frequently be found on my study breaks, and I couldn't resist uploading a few of them to deviantART.

Writing:
This is my true forté. When life allows, I'll return to plotting my first novel, "The Shelverman Chronicles" (a facetious fantasy based on my years as a library shelver). At the very least, my forays into 3D artwork and drawing will probably be Shelverman-related. You can sample my other work on MySpace [link] and FanFiction.net [link] if you're inclined to do so.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sincerely,
David Grant (also known as "Shelverman")
