Big changes in my life...and ConceptArt.Org

[Jason Manley]

A career update today, as it relates directly to the positive improvements happening here on ConceptArt.org the past few days, and so I thought to share. I am taking big steps in my life and career and after much thought, I have decided to return my focus to the entertainment, event, and media industries where I made my career. As of today, I have stepped forward from my management position with TAD to concentrate on building ConceptArt.Org into the vibrant portal I have dreamed of for so long and to develop a related entertainment IP and technology company that I am inspired and completely excited about. I am very happy with the foundation that was established for TAD and honored to have worked with and taught so many students. Thank you all for your support and I look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks!

Feels good to know that you're back.
But I already shared my thoughts with you, and I am damn impressed how everything is going lately.
For myself, I can't thank you enough for this site and I am looking forward for future stuff to work on with all you guys.

Thanks Jason, welcome back and now it's time to rock this thing, haha!

[AliSaid]

Hello! Welcome back, I'm new here so I don't exactly know everyone but I'll look forward in getting to know you and everyone!

[Ian Barker]

Very good news! TAD looks fantastic but having it divert attention from CA made things quiet around here... very happy to know things will be busy again soon. Good luck on your future endeavors Jason!

[Star Eater]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing that Jason. Already there is a palpable enthusiasm on the forums that has been missing for some time.

[Heliux]

Oh man! can't wait to see the ideas brought to CA I'm sure you've been stewing on from your experiences with TAD! Reverie was one of the best times I've had and I'm sure there's lots of great new crafted moments on the horizon! :]

[Atreides]

Right on brother

Oh man! can't wait to see the ideas brought to CA I'm sure you've been stewing on from your experiences with TAD! Reverie was one of the best times I've had and I'm sure there's lots of great new crafted moments on the horizon! :]

Thanks! It was at Reverie that I announced what I had planned and dreamed up for TAD...and to come full circle now is an honor too.

[Cerasela]

Great to hear this, Jason. The Silent times are over !

[Wingal]

Wooohoooo! This is great news! I cant wait to be a part of the new dawn of CA! Fantastic!

[Pilgrim1099]

Good on you, Jason! I'm sure your return and continued presence will let CA prosper and thrive to greater heights!

[bhaskarrac]

Is it like Steve Jobs coming back to Apple? Hell Yeah!
I love this site and looking forward to your creative efforts, Jason.

And so the king has finally come back to his rightful place.

[Beeston]

Awesome. You should come participate in a Chow or an EOW sometime

[SpectreX]

Welcome back! CA is already improving a lot ^^

[JohnPrince]

Welcome back, and I would like to take the time to thank you, this site has been an inspiration for me for the last ten years.
It has been the talent, enthusiasm and support that exists within theres pages, that has helped me keep the faith in my
creative ambitions. Here's to CA and a new chapter!

[-Tragedy-]

I'm glad.
Good to know you'll be building upon your creation of CA and feeling better for it; along with helping the community of artists here.
Even though I'm yet to of created my sketchbook here, the community has helped me numerous times.
Cheers.

Cool stuff! Can't wait to see what's coming down the bend.

[QueenGwenevere]

If this means my favorite hangout on the web gets even cooler, I'm all for it!

[EricaZann]

I feel I lack perspective to accurately express a more direct response to this thread,
as it has been less than a week since I joined.

However, during the few weeks prior to joining that I spent reading and viewing sketchbooks,
I became deeply impressed with what CA is now. There are an enormous amount of talented
artists and constructive advisers who actively participate in this community. Cheers to all
of you!

After reading the original post that the site is going to be even better, I just wanted to
say thank you somehow... so thank you! =)

I hope that over time I will become a meaningful contributor myself.

I already said welcome back and thanks for your hard work elsewhere, Jason, so I wont get repetitve. Just adding my ongoing support and it's nice to have you around on a regular basis. Also, good luck with everything!

This is the only art site I hang out on regularly - nowhere else has the same hard work attitude that kicks me up the arse and keeps me pushing myself to improve - so seeing all the positive changes going on and hearing of good things to come is like the cherry on the cake.

The place is really starting to come together and I cant wait to see what comes next!

[ArtZealot]

Good to have you back! I look forward to the changes.

[Maledict]

There is only one thing I can say about this:

Fuck yeah!

[Anthis]

Exciting! Great to see you around again.

[Deon]

2013 is only getting better and better!

[Arshes Nei]

Since the world ended in 2012 we're in the afterlife and there is a God

[Jason Manley]

Thanks everyone. It feels good to be making headway and taking steps. The site is feeling better here already I think, and that is just temp stuff. The new site, news page, and image viewer are on the way next, as are some cutting edge promotional tools which every one of us needs, including the TAD students, the pros here, and all the rest of us who like to make stuff!
