Chances are I may have given up my pencils for good. I just realized that I am now 40 years old and am never going to be a professional artist. However, what I am good at is telecommunications with over 8 years of experience, 14+ years of sales and customer service experience, and now I'm too busy learning networks to bother drawing anymore. I've started my own company and closed $25,000 in business within my first 5 months.  I specialize in the sales, installation, deployment, and maintenance of Unified Communications Solutions to businesses.  In short, its a fancy way of saying that I do VoIP Business Phone Systems and computer networks.  Now I'm working towards earning a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Engineer) where even if I fail in business, I can get a job earning $60k or more.  Its not worth my time to draw anymore. I'm sorry, but I think I've given up on art.  Maybe when I retire I might revisit it again but I might as well stay focused on being the best I can be. I will visit DeviantArt periodically but I am definitely not as active on this site anymore as I once was.
