Hello, watchers!

I hope you are all doing well; I have missed you. I have some super exciting things to share with you.

Dr. Me

I haven't been around as much as usual since maybe September because I am finishing up my PhD. I have it completed except for the final oral defense, which is scheduled for July 2nd. After that I'll be "Dr. Jade."

I am really really excited, okay and a bit terrified, but mostly excited, but terrified.

There will be a huge party and celebration, and I'll do something on DeviantArt to celebrate as well. I hope you will join me.

Photomanip CV

The bigger news as far as you need to be concerned: I am re-joining the photomanipulation gallery and will be working with AbbeyMarie as CV. This means that you can send me Photomanipulation DD suggestions now. I have a few more digital DDs that I'm working through, but I'll be posting photomanip DDs soon.

Photomanip is my love, and I gave it up because last semester I was teaching on top of trying to work full-time and finish my dissertation. I have more time now, having finished the PhD. I may be a bit scarce for the next couple of weeks, as I'm moving to a new city and making final preparations for that oral exam, but I'll still be around.

Project ideas

We have some super cool ideas for projects for the community. I have been wanting to do these for a while but, until now, haven't had the time. They are:

A mentoring project for new photomanipulators

A cool scheme for getting new watchers and finding new art to love

Team competitions/contests, like the Coaching Competition we had a year or so ago

Ways to bring people who haven't been active back into the community

Also, Incantata and I have a new collaboration project we are going to get moving right away. We're really excited about it and hope you all are excited about the prospect of working with people from other galleries (Digital, Traditional, etc.)!! We'll let you know when this project is operational.
