Hello. It's me again...I return again from my hiatus of no-creativity, though, unfortunately, without my prior zeal, as I've some unfortunate news to announce. I return to this community for the last time, and do not intend to stay long. I may decide to create a few more works, but beyond that, I will not be coming back to this, or any other, gallery anytime in the foreseeable future. I love fractal art, but it is a very consuming activity, and has now fallen below too many things to merit maintenance as a hobby. Perhaps one day, after college, when I have a steady job and perhaps some free time again I will return, but for the next few years, I cannot anticipate being able to produce and publish works again. It is with great sadness then that I announce my upcoming withdrawal from this community as the artist FreedomOfExpression. For those who have enjoyed my art I thank you for your appreciation and time, it has made my time here a wonderful experience. To all of you, I wish the best of luck in your pursuits. I will be around likely a week or so more, perhaps I will post a few images from my unpublished archive, perhaps I might even create a few more originals. I announce this now since I do not know which image will be my last, and I wish to say goodbye to this community, which has been so much a part of me this past few years. My gallery will remain up until it is deleted from inactivity, though I will remove my website listing from it. I leave you with this thought: What once was here remains here no longer. Time, like cleansing fire, has burnt a dream to ash while another, a new dream, rises from ash to grow. I turn from one path to pursue another. What once was here remains no longer, what now is can flourish unopposed.
