> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
Hi. My name is Steve Jones, and I live on a small island off the south coast of England. I love sport, music, and sunshine. I also like the feeling you get when life throws you a sense of realisation and creative emotion. I enjoy living by the sea.
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
I stumbled upon collage art a few years ago, having previously had no practical art experience, other than the occasional bout of creative writing through pros
Deviousness Award Interview with anmariWhat is this Awesome Achievement?
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out
on the 1st of every month to one truly outstanding deviant.
The Deviousness Award for May 2013 goes to `anmari.


Hello! I'm Ana! I'm 23 years old and I was born in the Republic of Moldova, which, at the time, was a place in the USSR. Besides my Romanian roots, part of my great-grandparents were Polish and Ukrainian, so you could say that I'm a product of a Eastern-European melting pot! :slow:
Nowadays I live and study in France. :B
I joined deviantART in summer 2006. I was 16 and curious about everything, so I quickly discovered the Chats and I got addicted to dA ever since! In March 2008 I was invited to join the Official Helpers t
All Snapped Up .10 ~ Bloddroppe~ An interview of a talented artist in our General Photography Community

Tell us a bit about yourself, *Bloddroppe! How did you get into photography and why?
I've been interested in art since young age. I used to draw a lot during high school, especially realistic portraits. But after a time I felt that I wanted to experiment with other medias. I photographed a lot of nature with a point and shoot camera at first but I felt that I would like to try working with models instead. So I asked my best friend to model for me in a great field of flowers. I think it was my first shoot with a model so it was very fun and since that shoot I've wanted to continue with photography.
Why are you on deviantART?
I think I discovered deviantART through the site Gaiaonline. I used to post my photography there and was recommended to look up the site. I immediately started to upload my work and recieved gr
A Call to Conversation (15)--:devkathrynodriscoll:Welcome to the thirteenth article focusing on featuring and getting to know the deviants behind the work! This series will be posted every Wednesday. If you have a deviant you'd like to see included, please send =TwilightPoetess a note with the subject "Call to Conversation"--make sure to include the deviant's name as well as a reason you think they'd make a good interview subject! Also, feel free to send along a question or two you'd like to have answered by them!
This week's featured deviant is `KathrynODriscoll!
`KathrynODriscoll is an inspiring, beautiful deviant.  She lends her voice to all areas of the dA lit community, as well as branching out into the other communities from time to time, as well.  You might know her from her beautiful journal features, or from The Review Project she recently brought to dA.  :devkathrynodriscoll
Interview 'Journal/Gallery CSS'As part of our 5th birthday i have interviewed three persons that are familiar with journal and gallery skins and that also offer them for free use. Please say hello to =SimplySilent, `miontre and =nikkittie!
Most important thing first: tell us a bit about yourself and what you are doing here at dA, especially for those who might not know you yet.
:iconsimplysilent:
Hi there! :dummy: I'm =SimplySilent, and I've been on dA for about a year and a half now. I do a lot of digital art, including digital painting, photomanipulation, and pixel art, but during the last few months, I've been teaching myself CSS and making journal and gallery skins for dA.
I'm also part of several groups including #Rising-Artists, #DazzlingDecorations, #feel-art, #projecteducate, and #CSS-Babes
:iconmiontre:
Hello! :dummy: I'm `miontre, and I'm mainly a hobbyist photographer but I also love web design. On deviantART, I'm most active around :devprojecteduca
Project Comment Interviews, Issue 61: astarayel#ProjectComment is a Group of many projects centred around comments, but, more importantly, constructive comments. We offer Members of deviantART a lot of opportunities to get comments, give comments, participate in comment projects, win points, get featured and much, much more!
Every two weeks, we will be interviewing commenters and volunteers at #ProjectComment, specifically revolving around their life on deviantART and, the purpose of #ProjectComment, constructive comments.
We sincerely hope you enjoy reading the sixty-first interview of this series with =astarayel!
:iconprojectcomment:
Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello everyone! :wave: I’m Lauren, a recent university graduate, movie aficionado, book-lover, and music addict. If you’re into Middle East relations, the Avengers, Michael Crichton, or classic rock, we’re probably going to be good friends. And if you’re not, we’re probably going to be go
Interview 'User Styles'User Styles are - even though there aren't many contributors - quite popular within dA and are mostly used to optimize a new feature to our own needs. It is pure CSS that modifies the appearance of a website just for you - no one else will see the changes you make.
To be able to use User Styles, you will need a browser extension called Stylish.
As part of our 5th birthday i have interviewed three guys that are familiar with User Styles and that also offer them for others to use. Please say hello to `electricjonny, `rotane and =trezoid!
Most important thing first: tell us a bit about yourself and what you are doing here at dA, especially for those who might not know you yet.
:iconelectricjonny:
My name is Jon Spence, and I mostly tool around with Stylish (extension to allow custom CSS on any website) various places to change how things look, or mostly just hide random crap.
:iconrotane:
Hi
MonthlyEmoticonist (May) - happy-gurl:star: Welcome to the second edition of MonthlyEmoticonist for #EmoteADay! :star:
This monthly series of interview articles is meant to showcase the talents of the emote community that volunteer themselves to answer a few questions.
:bulletred: This month's MonthlyEmoticonist :bulletred:
The emoticonist that was interviewed this month is :iconhappy-gurl: =happy-gurl. She is a very talented emoticonist and pixel artist, having won the Static Emoticonist award in the 2011 EmoteAwards, and nominated for other awards in 2012, including Emoticonist of the Year. I took a few minutes to ask her a few questions.
:bulletyellow: The Interview :bulletyellow:
:bulletblue: Q1: Hey, how's it going? Wanna introduce yourself to the readers?
Hello, I'm =happy-gurl but you can call me Roze :dummy:
-----
:bulletblue: Q2: Roze is a very nice name. :giggle: How long've you been making emotes?
I've been making emotes since mid 2011.

:bulletblue: Q3: Yo
Of humility and prideAround the web I've observed and even talked to some fairly big artists.
And if there's one piece of advice I can give to artists of all skill levels,
it's to-
Stay humble while being proud.
For those of you who think you have reached your best, stop right there.
Their is ALWAYS someone better in their own right.

Don't consider those who are just starting out as "the little people"
and never EVER get offended if someone who you feel is under-skilled offers you a tip.
Perhaps they know a new method or a new way to do something that you have yet to come across.
You'll never know unless you hear them out.
("But I don't have time for that!") All well and good,
if you don't have the time state so politely while still letting them know that if you had a moment,
you would converse artistically with them.

And as far as criticism goes,
I strongly suggest that you do not become so puffed up in the head as to yell at someone

Devious Accents `09Have you ever wondered what goes on in the artistic endeavors of a Senior? What makes them tick?
"Devious Accents" is a feature/interview series of Senior Members here on deviantART that aims to surface key features of each Senior and to show them to the community as a whole, brought to you by #dAseniors--the official group for Senior Members on deviantART!

Joining us this week will be `sodalicious, a long-time deviant socialite and Deviousness Award recipient of July 2005!
`Milotic1406: Why did you decide to make the leap and become a deviant?
`sodalicious: I had browsed the site for 6 months to a year before actually joining. A lot of my online friends from another website had used it to display their artwork and I decided to sign up too. This is actually my third account. The first one I only used to browse artwork with,
Group Therapy: Community^Astralseed of #ProjectPorkchop is sitting on Fella's couch for this month's session.
For  those of you not familiar with this series, each month we'll be delving  into a group that is dedicated to their members and giving back to the  dA Community through exposure, hosting regular events and just being an  all around awesome place for deviants to settle in and feel  welcome.
In a couple sentences, can you please describe what your group is about?
#ProjectPorkchop was mad as a continuation of my original project Fresh meat which aimed to promote underrated yet talented artists found on dA with weekly articles hoping to put these amazing deviants into the spotlight.  I've had a passion for promoting artists who are going unseen since I remember how much work it took for myself to get out there and be seen when I first joined the site.  I thought the community could benefit from something like this and over

PART 1 - THE ARTIST & THE ART

PC: Welcome Chibisuke-Chan and thank you for your time!
Chibisuke-Chan: I really did not expect this message in my inbox, so thank you for the opportunity!
PC: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your daily life?
Chibisuke-Chan:  Well besides being called Chibi and other things online.. (which I will not mention!), my real name is Linda but the few who are close to me may also call me Aby - or any other variation of that, I've seen some creative ones. I'm 20 years old and from New Jersey and no, I'm not orange. My birthday is November 5th and everyone always sings, "Remember, remember, the fifth of November" and I'm frankly sick of it. I'm a full time college student, who at this moment, is stres

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Daniel, I’m 24 years old, I’m from the Bay Area in California, and I’ve been going to art school these past few years studying to become an animator. As of this writing, I graduate later this month in May, and I hope to get into someplace like Nickelodeon studios.
How long have you been doing art?
All my life! I loved drawing as a kid. My parents owned a lot of Garfield books which I read,
