Hey everyone!

I glanced at my DA info today and realized I've been a member of this community since Valentine's Day 2004. For the past three years I've had a lot of fun browsing through the art here and finding inspiration from other deviants. Some of the most genuinely nice folk I've ever encountered were through DA, and some of the most honest. I want to recognize these two especially:

This woman has a heart of gold! She always has a kind word and adventures to share. I feel truly blessed to have met her.

Shane tells me what he thinks and spares the sugar coating. If I'm being a diva he lets me know. Thanks for your brutal honesty, even though you sometimes get me flustered I can't tell you how refreshing your comments are.

There are so many compassionate and talented folk here! I'd also like to thank these people for the positive impact they have made:

Shoot, I've probably forgotten someone and will remember later and feel guilty...

Onward!

I think it's about time I share with you my very favorite deviations. All time favorites! These are the artists I look at and sigh with longing:
