I'm really sorry about this.

I'm moving everything to an account called GraphiteGhost, because it's consistent with my website, graphiteghost.net

I'm relatively new to dA but even without being an expert on its ettiquette, I can guess that anyone would consider it pretty annoying to leave a trail of dead accounts in your wake.

I created this account kinda hastily a little while after Michael Jackson died, and, feeling sentimental about Michael, a small tribute to him made its way into my display name. 'j-deo' is little more than my initials with EO added to them. To be the Captain EO of the art world, while a lofty and endearing aspiration, still isn't sufficient reason to hold onto a name that ceased to fit comfortably after a couple of days.

I've really just been trying to avoid using graphiteghost, but tonight, I finally surrender. What it lacks in maturity (I made it up in 2002), it makes up for in clarity, honesty, and ... alliteration Most importantly, it's the real me (Be yourself, kids!).

Before I ramble any further, let me say a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has ed or watched me here. Please follow me to

I promise I'll make it worth your while. I'm just getting started.
