I want to thank everyone that supported me on this site.

I am leaving Deviant Art as I think this site has gone to hell. I had a image removed without even asking anything.
I assume someone contacted them and accused me of ripping off and image of Marco. What is funny as hell is I work personally with him on art for Tarot and Nightwish. He has the image that I painted on his wall and I have a image signed by him on my wall. I have the permission directly from the record label to use the image as a reference. They didn't even contact me about it, they just removed it.

But they think that everyone doesn't have rights to use anything, even though I have Marcos phone number programed into my phone and talk to the band members on a regular basis. Hell I even did the press photos for Sonata Arctica.

They classified me as a "ripper" even though I had an image on here of the DVD cover for Sonata Arctica. So they didn't even research who I was. I will not host my art on a site that is so narrow minded as this.

You can always see my art from my website: [link]
There will be some new art before long from commission band artwork.
But I will NEVER post anything on here again.

So thank you to all the people who visited here and left comments.

To Deviant Art: You should research who the artist is and who they work with before you assume anything and remove art without asking questions. You would have received an email directly from Nuclear Blast records telling you that I have the rights to post that image and that it was painted from a reference I had the rights to.

Goodbye....
