Now that DeviantArt has finally made this option available, I will be joining the ranks of those who've made the switch. When I joined DA in 2004, I never imagined that this account would become a space for more than posting hastily-drawing Redwall sketches. But now I'm using it for professional work, and indeed that's almost all I upload anymore - so with that in mind, I thought it would be most appropriate to change the name of my account to my real name, which I prefer to be associated with my professional career as an illustrator.

And so farewell, fair Ferahgo. You've served me well, you wily weasel you. The name will stick with me forever elsewhere online, but DA, for all its faults, has become the nexus of my artwork's exposure on the internet. I hope all of my fine watchers don't have too much trouble getting used to the change.
