Where do i even start?  
I'm improving in a lot of areas and i have tons of content that i need to go through but as an artist learns and grows i believe that i should clean up my Deviant Art page and start with a fresh view of everything as i have learned and improved in so many areas and when i think back at how much you learn by just sitting down for 1 hour or 2 a day and go over and see other professional artists work you get to appreciate and see things in a different perspective so i'm getting rid of a lot of artwork that i think its not relevant or good enough now. I would like to leave some of the material that i have been using examples of art books that i have and websites that i visit so other artists in the page can benefit from it too. I will start posting and updating at least once a week so i'll be putting the most time in one artwork for one week and publish the results or more often if possible. Also updated Deviant ID and new image i want everything on the page to feel as professional as possible as i would love to setup an ART studio to collaborate with others on a professional level. I will not stop until i accomplish all my GOALS. 

I will leave the following book titles for reference for others to use and i will update to cover more subjects.
