Most of the works on this site are posted in the 'pics' section.
They are at a fairly reduced resolution. This is due to a combination of the limits of myspace, and the fact that I don't really feel like handing out full resolution pics of my works. Enjoy!

***FRIEND REQUESTS***
Welcome to my art page. If you send a friend request, please send a message along with it giving a few lines about how you came across my page and why you want to add me to your friends list. I do turn down many requests, and it could help my decision on whether to add you if you send the message.
If you want to add me just to occasionally browse through my works, then that’s great. Browsing is free after all. In return though, it would be good to get feedback from time to time in the form of a picture comment, profile comment, message, etc.
IF YOUR PROFILE IS SET TO PRIVATE, SEND A MESSAGE WITH YOUR REQUEST.
I actually look at the pages of the people who request me. I will not add fake pages (spammer/hkr/bullshit pages) or any pages that I think might be fake, or pages with so little content that I can't tell.
If you have no profile pic, I will deny you without looking at your page. This is due to the fake pages, many of which don't have profile pics. If it's been a while since you sent the request, I'm either busy or waiting for a message from you. With no communication, I'll eventually just deny you.
Bands/performers/promoters/etc:
I will probably not add you, and if you don’t send a message as described above, I will definitely not add you. If you really want me on your list for some reason other than building up yours, you should let me know that.
If you hadn't noticed, it makes a difference to me who's on my list, and I have a better page for it.

***Posting Comments***
Hello everyone. I have no problem with my artist friends posting their work in my comments section... in fact I'd encourage it. I would like other people to see your work, so self promotion here is all good, provided you're not sending the same thing over and over. I'll delete duplicates like that.
Try to keep the maximum width to around 600 px wide (a little over isn't bad, within reason).
I have very few restrictions on content as far as posting. If you put a comment that is grotesquely violent on my page, not only will I delete it, but I might delete you. No eye gouging gifs, or nails through fingers, or anything remotely like that. If you want to know if something is passable, feel free to send it to me in a message first.
***UPDATE (2008-26-02)***
Thank you for all the awesome comments !
I check them all, but I will definitely not be able to respond to all of them. Aside from being busy in the "real world", I have several other profiles I manage on here.
I do respond to most of my messages though.
Thanks everyone !

***Requesting Free Work***
In a word... don't.
I've been getting an increasing number of requests from people to do drawings of them, including from people not even on my friends list, for free. Although it is appreciated, and I take it as a compliment when someone wants me to draw them (I take them where I can get them), I don't accept such requests.
I'm very busy with my own projects and with homework in my Masters Program, but even if I wasn't I still wouldn't be accepting requests for free work.
