With Mitt Romney running for president the LDS church is in the news again as it was with the issues with the Fundamentalist (FLDS) a few years ago I feel it's a good time to open this up.
Other than Islam (in the US at least) there probably isn't a more misunderstood religion. To do my part in helping to dispel some of the myth and mystery surrounding the church I am open for questions. I don't care how serious or silly I will answer to the best of my ability. I've heard some really interesting misconceptions so don't feel like you're going to offend me or anything so long as it is in the spirit of learning.
I always thought that if you're trying to understand something you need to go to the source. Part of the reason I'm reading the Qur'an. You wouldn't ask a plumber how to change your car's oil, why would you ask your pastor (bishop, rabbi, priest) about another church?
So ask away!

Proof of Life
Every couple years I like to remind you all that I am still alive. I have actually been a bit more productive this year than in those past and will have some artwork to share. Let me know what awesome things you all have been up to the last couple years. I don't quite have the time to go through the thousands of watch notifications I have from all of your fantastic artwork you have been doing!
Not Gone, Just Distracted
Short version: Child #3 arrived in January. Back to work three weeks later. I have also been involved with both state and national horse organizations, organizing real-life horse events, and my business is only getting busier despite the temps climbing into the triple digits (summer is NOT prime riding time in the Sonoran Desert!).
I hope all is well with you and I hope that I might get into a semi-regular habit of posting things again as I have had a few art projects come my way, just not the time to process them for web presentation.
DeviantArt Questionaire
1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Forever. It will be 14 years in December. Remember when you had to go through 10 pages to submit an image and it was focused on skins and things more than drawings?
Oh, and I've had this same account this entire time. I used to be in the habit of plowing through my gallery and cleaning it up now and again.
2. What does your username mean?
Lantairvlea is the name of one of my Guenitha characters. It means dark blue in their language because Guenitha go for descriptive names and she is predominantly dark blue.
3. Describe yourself in three words.
Horsey, creative, persis
Attention Watchers
When I had more time I used to go through my watcher's galleries and leave a nice critique. Feedback on what I liked about their work, their strengths, and also weaknesses and how I thought they could make their work stronger moving forward. Had I the time I would do this with every new watcher, but I know not everyone appreciates such things, but it really is in the spirit of helping and giving back as you all suppory me.
Anyway, for those of you who watch me, new and old alike, if you want some feedback just comment here and I will take the time to go through your gallery and share my thoughts. I appreciate the support and enthusiasm fo

I don't think I have any questions personally, but I've always found it interesting how people react if I mention I'm from Utah... their thoughts instantly go to Mormons and they either think I am one and get nervous, or they adopt a very stereotypical attitude and want to hear about "those weirdos". I know plenty of Mormon people, the vast majority are normal folks.
