Well, I finally did it.  I finally got off my lazy butt and made my first submission.

....

And I'm already feeling the needles of anxiety prickling at my skin. 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy showing my sketches, though it's usually only to family and friends as well as the occasional stranger who may catch me unawares and want to see what I'm doing out of curiosity.  I suppose some tiny sliver of shyness still remains embedded deeply in my mind.  Or perhaps it's fear of the internet and its penchant for meanness at times. 

But I love art.  I love to draw, I love to write, to paint, to create.  There's just something beautiful about the feeling you get when you create something, look it over and like what you see.  When you feel you've finally managed to snag a mental image by the ankle and drag it onto paper where you can keep it and see it outside of your own head.  Once it's out, it seems unfair not to share it with others, for better or worse.  Art is meant to be seen, heard, felt, experienced...

Five a.m. and I'm waxing poetic.  I'd say I need more coffee but I really don't think that would help my nerves much.  :P
