If you're a long-time follower of mine on DeviantART you may notice how I haven't been active for the past three years. Life shifted gears for me in several ways: I graduated from the University of the Arts with my BFA in Graphic Design, and now I'm in the process of finding a new place to live (or a way to justify staying where I am.) I built my web site (www.johnbaccile.com) and am working on getting it linked to my print store here. I've also began entering more online art contests in hopes that some of the exposure I receive might just spill out into the "real" world and relieve me of my current night job (loading trucks for UPS.)

Art Takes Times Square is an online art contest that gives selected finalists exhibit space in Times Square, NYC, as well as in the promotional video they're producing. I would strongly recommend my fellow DeviantArtists enter their own best works, and if you scratch my back (click "Collect Me" on this page) I'll be sure to return the favor!

It's good to be back. Looking forward to the dawn of a new age of exposure for everyone.
