No kidding, but I was thinking that until a Year ago my Relationship with dA was only Superficial. I could never have expected that by creating an account I would become one of the active dA - members (one of the reasons is the group that I've created). I like dA because it has nothing to do with the popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter etc.). Here you have the opportunity of direct contact, interaction and exchange of views with other artists. There were moments, like in any other social fellowship, that I got angry or irritated by people. There were times that even deleting my account crossed my mind. But it was the uniqueness and immensity of dA and the group that I'm running that put a hold on me. In the end what one has to bear in mind is the value of human dynamics.
I had been a Deviant for only a month, when I decided to create my group "AllArtSupport". I would never have imagined that it would become so popular. Due to this group I was given so many beautiful chances: e.g. to see 80.000 artworks feels like being in the museum of Ermitazh. But also the combination of commitment and obligation, on one hand, and the popularity of the group, on the other, created unique emotions, e.g. during the 15minute break of my work (I teach film-making and 2D / 3D animation) I worked passionately on my laptop to post a daily poll for the group. It is amazingly beautiful, because after all this time, the group numbers 22,000 Members and only 9 Admins that Became, after lots of ups and downs, a Family. I keep in my Mind some beautiful dreams about the Group (but these are for the future to be uncovered).
I hope that by this time Next Year I will have produced more Artworks, gained more Experiences, felt and expressed more Feelings.
I want to thank you all for the Support you've Showed, for the Comments and favs on my artworks. I want you to know that I always Appreciate them and I gain Courage to Continue my Creative Journey. ·٠•. ٠•˙·˙·٠•. ٠•★ Keep Well.
