Ok so I wasn't going to mention this but recently the situation has got to the point where I am getting stressed out, so I thought I ought to say something.

Over the time I've been on DeviantArt, I have been receiving irritating/disturbing private messages, so I want to write this to tell those who are thinking of messaging me something similar, that it will not be tolerated.

I do NOT want to be messaged to be propositioned for sexual purposes, I do NOT wish to hear your perverted thoughts about my pictures, which are on here for purely artistic purposes - If you cant look at any artists image without being so aroused that you feel the need to contact the artist, then perhaps you should get off this site, or at least my page.

I also do NOT want to be pressured by continuous messages, such as several which have been sent BEGGING me to marry you or love you or anything of the sort. One such person has been continuously partaking in such behaviour on and off for the past year. I have now blocked them, something which I don't like to do to users; but everyone has a limit.

I don't of course want to put off anyone who wants to message me about my work, their work or anyone who needs a friendly ear to chat to. I really LOVE your comments, friendly messages etc. and appreciate all of you taking the time out to do so

I just want to make it clear that I find some peoples behaviour on here unacceptable, and that it has, many times, made me consider closing down my page or ceasing to upload any new material.

Now, rant over.....

I actually took some new photos today and am currently in the process of editing them. I hope they will be uploaded by tomorrow so stay tuned.

Thanks to all of you who make staying on the site worth it,
