Greetings All -
Through a series of "connecting the dots" (one of my mentors calls it "following the breadcrumbs") while I was doing some research on The Third Eye in the wee hours of the morning, I fell head first into your site. Something like when Alice decides to take a sample out of the Drink Me bottle. That's how life has been... pretty fun, odd, and full of surprises.
Fantasy often times has been more real to me than not.
I'm an avid reader - love my Kindle Fire... puts a whole new spin on a favorite childhood game of mine: pretending to be in a tent, reading past my bedtime by flashlight.
I'm an artist. I've been doodling, painting, writing short stories, poetry, dream recall (not sure if there's a title to writing out dreams that stick with you intensely. I call them "dreams that leave a taste in my mouth").
I've spent the majority of my "professional" life creating letterforms. Some call those of us in the community "Scribes" - imagine that! I've taught for guilds around the US teaching my style of lettering - avant garde in relation to what most think of when they encounter the word Calligraphy. I work with tools that are painterly, chaotic, refined... I think at one time I had a playpen in the Expressionist era.
During a series of challenging events over the past few years, I recoiled into a semi-hibernative state. A doorway into fantasy mmo's opened, I entered, and didn't look back. I became completely enchanted with the Lore, the visuals, settings, and ability to create an avatar worthy of my artistic passion. Plenty left to be desired - I wanted to create jewelry for her, design her clothes, choose her mode of transportation, and most of all create her storyline beyond the capabilities of game developers.
I came out of hibernation sometime within the past year, and have been connecting the dots, walking through doors to see how the combination of my passion for the arts, mmo's, a new found adoration for Studio Ghibli, a trip to Disney World - holy cow what fun! - and a group of Master Teachers all fit together.
Now, Mythic Scribes tumbled through a portal last night.
So looking forward to whatever comes next!
Warmest to all of you-
Keku
