BelleButters

Many of you have been following me from AnS over here to DA. Many of you knew me as "Misha" the internet alias I created for myself because I didn't want anyone to know my real name. For over a decade I've been posting little things here and there and got a little reminiscent looking through my old artwork and yours. In an effort to maintain continuity, I came back and obtained a CORE account just so I could change my username to my business name.

Aside from taking photos, I started a business and I still work a full-time job. As you can imagine, I have a pretty busy schedule. Look forward to me interacting a lot more since things in my life have finally started to settle down.
