The TWIN PEAKS revival, American Gods! MY REVIVAL.
It is hard to believe that its been nearly two years since my last journal entry on Deviant Art. Some much has happened--so much time has gone by and frankly I don't know where to start! Where did I leave off? It's 2017 goddammit! Did I just end up in a creative limbo funk for the last two years? In retrospect, I honestly did.
