How is everyone today? I know it's been a very long time, but I hope everything is well with all of you. It's been great getting to know a lot of you in person, and hopefully we can have meets again one day. For those of you still on DeviantArt and those just stopping by here, welcome back! I hope life has taken you to wonderful places and that you've experienced great things. Since there are many of you that I've gotten to know in person but haven't seen for a very long time, feel free to message me. See my page for the various ways to contact me. ~samurai007

Well, since I no longer have time to properly run this group, I'd like to know if any of you would like to take over running it. It would have to be someone from the Southern California area, as well as have enough time and energy to run meets and events. You would also have to be able to update this page regularly, as well as coordinate with whatever groups they have on meetup.com or other social networking sites. The vision of this group is for artists to be able to meet, network, and socialize in person as well as online, through community and art-related events. So, if you're interested in running the group, message me ~samurai007 through here or Myspace [link] and tell me why and how you'd like to run it, how you can commit to it, and what you can contribute to the group and its growth. I'm taking into consideration who you are as a whole in making my decision.

Once I choose someone, consider it a reboot of this group, not confined by DeviantArt and its artists, but for everyone who has an artistic spirit. Also, if you'd like to become a member, no need to message anyone anymore. Just leave a comment and be a participant.

For those wishing to contact me, see my page here or Myspace me, which is much faster since I don't know the next time I'll log back in. [link]
