30 days laterWow, I can't believe it's been a month since I've written a journal! That means it's been a little over a month since we've been in the new place and it's time to pay rent soon. o.o
Done so much in this last month as well. Made a new logo for myself. Redesigned my social links site. Wrote a number of tutorials that will be making their way online eventually. Built some furniture for the apartment. Computer crashed, almost worried myself sick stressing over affording a new one. We also got a new kitty… It's all moving quite quickly. I'm just so happy that the place is finally starting to feel like home. Artwork on the walls and animals really helps cement that feeling of home.
Our new kitty is named Harleen (Harleen Quinzel to be exact) and she's another Tortoiseshell like Gallifrey. When we rescued her from the local humane society she was little over 1 years old and had already had kittens, poor thing. When we broug30 days later by $Ikue

Colin Hutton: Master of Macro Insect PhotographyWe see bugs every day, but we never really take a moment to take a closer look.
The other day I came across Colin Hutton on deviantART, a remarkably talented photographer specializing in "high magnification macro photography of insects and other small creatures." His work is absolutely stunning. The colors, contrasts, and backdrops behind his subjects are simply amazing.
Colin joined deviantART just 3 months ago. Go check out his gallery and watch him!

Celebrate deviantART's 12th Birthday!It's our 12th Birthday!

Posted August 7th, 2012 by $Ayame-Kenoshi

Today, August 7th, 2012, marks 12 years since deviantART's creation - aka, it's our 12th birthday! In the last 12 years, we, as a community, have grown by leaps and bounds, fostered creative thought and dialogue, and submitted a lot of artwork - over 220 million deviations. It's with great honor and pleasure that we invite you to party with us as we toast to another devious year of art!
Introducing the First Ever Creative Grants Recipients!
On May 1, 2012, deviantART introduced the Creative Grants program - a source of funding allowing artists to make creative dreams a reality. We're pleased to announce the first cycle of funding has ended, and from the over 500 applicatCelebrate deviantART's 12th Birthday! by $Ayame-Kenoshi

deviantART Birthday #devart Hunt 2012!Well, it's early August again, and you all know what that means! It's time for the most epic celebration on the planet: deviantART's birthday! This year is no exception, and what's a dA birthday without an image hunt?
The rules are pretty simple. Below, there are two lists: One containing a small fragment of a deviation, and one of a list of deviants in a number of various different galleries across dA. What you need to do is figure out what deviation the fragments belong to, and by extension, what deviant.
For example, is part of

, so the answer would be ~TorsadesPourFoi.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to form a list of who the images belong to, in the order that the images appear in this article. Your deadline? Midnight Pacific Time, August 7th 2012. When you think you have your answers, send them, via note, to ^Astralseed before the time mentioned above.

April FeaturesHey guys! I haven't done a feature in ages, and I've come across so many great pieces lately that I wanted to share with you.
First, here are some pieces from the Dark Shadows Contest that I thought were really stellar. I'd even say all of these could have been contenders.

Beautiful work, guys.

Here are some mixed pieces that I've recently discovered and absolutely adore each of them.

Announcing the deviantART Creative GrantsAnnouncing the deviantART Creative Grants
At deviantART, we have spent the past 11 years building a place where artists can share and discuss their work and get inspired by the work of their contemporaries. A noble cause, for certain, but we would like to be so much more to our beloved community of brilliant creatives. Starting today, deviantART will also be a means of inspiration in an entirely new way with financial support for art.
On 3 month cycles, deviantART will accept applications from artists seeking to fund art-related projects. A panel called the Creative Grants Board will pick those projects that they believe will benefit particularly from a Grant and give those artists the support they need to make it happen. The lucky few who are chosen to receive Grants will also be given a beautiful accolade on their deviantART Profile Page to celebrate their succesAnnouncing the deviantART Creative Grants by $fourteenthstar

The Gallery Clean-up Project will focus on literally cleaning up the category tree in several ways. This first part of this project, is all behind the scenes. Over the years there have been categories that have been "removed", merged, or changed and there are back-end changes that need to be done to fully remove them from the tree. This part will not affect you, and if everything goes properly, you won't even notice it

The second part of this will be ensuring that the categories are all accepting the correct file-types. If there is a file-type that isn't being allowed in a particular category orCommunity Relations Newsletter - March/April 2012 by $Moonbeam13
