...not my real name.

If you google this phrase, my dA comes up...along with the several twitter/facebook sites who have reblogged/reposted my artwork and attributing it to "Leporidae Mortis." This is certainly my fault for trying to be clever as I put that under "Real Name" on my dA profile (it's been removed now).

Let me put the myth to rest. Leporidae Mortis is a latin phrase my roommate and I came up with in a spur of the moment after taking a year of latin and a bit too eager to exercise our new-found limited vocabulary. Leporidae is the Family name for over 60 species of rabbits and hares. Mortis is the declined (conjugated; genitive) form of mors, "death." Essentially, the phrase means, Rabbit of Death; sound familiar?

(P.S. I would also really appreciate it if people at least notified me when they repost my stuff and/or followed copyright law . ): ...on the other hand, I wouldn't get funny surprises like this...)
