I'm not able to comment or anything on this site, as it keeps telling me I need to be a user in good standing in order to do things! What am I missing??

 Also, when I look at my friends' friends, I'm not showing up! I have 13 friends, but I'm not able to see myself on any of their friends lists! AND, when I do a search for my name, I don't show up. ANNNNNNNND, if I do a search for my age range, I don't show up either!!!

 What's going on? Is this supposed to happen, or am I being thick? :) The only thing I can find in the FAQ is that you must have a profile picture in order to show up in friend searches. But I've had one since the beginning, and I even CHANGED it, and I'm still not showing up anywhere. :(

 Is there a secret I'm not privy to!? :)

I thought I'd better make a post since my little site looks so bare without one!

My name is Katie, but I go by the name Vyktoriah professionally. I am 25 years old and fancy myself as a fantasy artist. Recently I have had to give it up to chase that ever elusive necessity: Money. Apparently being a starving artist doesn't pay the mortgage!

However, my art can still be found online at my website, Vyktoriah.com and on various other art sites out there. I am hoping that time off will freshen my perspective and allow me to come back better and stronger than ever. I am taking some art classes in the meantime to see if I can better my craft.

Until then, I am trying my best to support my favourite artists by buying as many works of art as is possible with my meagre paycheques!

Some of my favourite paintings can be found in my galleries. Maybe you'll see one you like! Perhaps you can give me some tips or advice on how I can be a better artist! Feel free to say hello!
