Okay, so at first I think I was in the same frame of mind as a LOT of other users on here. I was a bit panicked at the thought that the main place to show my art was changing so drastically, and let's face it, the early version of Eclipse did nothing to stave off that fear. In fact it just added to it. Now, several months on and billions of updates later, I think they're getting there. I have been switched over to Eclipse for a few days now, just to see if it works for me, and to be honest, after a while of getting used to the new format, I'm actually liking it! Sorry if that's not a popular opinion, but everyone has their own individual thoughts on things, and this is just mine. I like the way it presents my work in a relatively simple and uncluttered way.

I like the fact that you can add sections quite easily and move them up or down to suit your preference. I like black! It's my favourite colour.


The thing that made me realise that I genuinely do like Eclipse was when I switched back to the old DA format and it all seemed a bit dull and might I dare say 'outdated' in appearance.

Yeah, I know I'm not going to be popular by saying that, but nobody reads my journals anyway, so I think I'm safe. (Famous last words!)


Anyway, to anyone worried about the change over( whenever that happens) all I can say is, don't worry too much. It's like anything new, once you get used to it, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

EssenceCartoon have really come up with the goods with their interpretation of my Urban gerbils strip 'Gum'. Originally it was going to be the milky coffee strip, but this one is funnier I think as it's short and to the point. Check it out on YouTube and let me know what you think:

I received a comment on my Urban Gerbils strip 'Paws 4 thought'dannogerbil.deviantart.com/art…

from savvyred.deviantart.com that made me think back to a particularly embarrassing situation I had years back and I thought it might be fun to find out from a few fellow dA'ers what their most embarrassing moment has been. From my point of view it's hard to pinpoint one actual event, I've had a few, from getting my head stuck in revolving doors at a bank, to passing out on a hot train carriage and head butting a passenger on my way down. Whatever yours may be, feel free to comment below and I'll do a cartoon of the funniest one and link you on my page.
