Helloooooo all!

I thought it was high time to update here.

So what better way to update than with OLDER news

In all seriousness, It's been a rather hectic year with many great, not-so-great, and plain and simply strange and bad stuff that's happened.

We need all of this to be able to experience this thing called "life"
For little over a year, I've been doing these "Interview Features" as way to help introduce, push, and promote artists to new audiences and to help out the community here on DeviantART.

I really didn't know how/if this idea was going to pan out and I'm VERY glad to say that it did work out very well.

I know that things didn't actually go as planned though

Certain people didn't get their interviews. Certain ideas never panned out correctly and there's still a MAJOR backlog of people I still need to get to.

But understand that it was all because of you wonderful people that I felt the need to try to do these features and that it's YOU all here who motivate me to continue to help support new/great artists on a daily basis. Whether it means to request your work into groups, to feature your crazy-awesome works of art, or to interview and promote your stuff, I try to do it all on top of my everyday job.

Alas not everything will happen according to plan since we all have our own personal lives to tend to. We get sick, we need get aways sometimes, we feel like taking a break, we get depressed, unexpected events...any and every bit of this happens.

But I try to go it all the way and at least give my all in any way I can to balance all of this stuff out and have a good time doing it
So before the next Interview feature, I would like to use this journal as a massive "THANK YOU" for the opportunity to share my time with you all.

It's always inspiring to see artists evolve and grow over time. And even in this roughly-year or so that I've been doing these interviews, I've been delighted to see your evolution in your art

Here are the interviews I have conducted thus far and please feel free to take a look all of them! Some people took part in the interviews when they first started their accounts, and when you look at their gallery now....You'd be amazed!!!

My watchers list has grown considerably and there may have been some of these interviews you've missed. Here they are in the chronological order they were conducted:
#1: "Night Air" An Interview with Melanie Howle
[link]The Interview that started it all. A dark and extremely gifted artist with a fascinating background too

#2: "Sharp Shooter" An Interview with Jacob Munro
[link]At this point it was CLEAR that Jacob Munro was gonna be HUGE here. And this was just the beginning of his new account when I conducted this one. This dude has massive photo-skillz and I've learned from him in a big way

#3: "Emotional Technology" An Interview with Ian Vicknair
[link]A very talented individual and a very ambitious one too. Scifi-meets-fantasy-meets technology in his beautifully rendered imagery!

#4: "Dreaming" An Interview with Marco Herrera

Also he's the best HDR photographer in my personal opinion and also a fellow emoticon addict/abuser

[link]This is a truly inspiring artist that proves how strong the power of love and art can be.

Winner of my 1st Annual "Family Jewels Award 2011" for "BEST INTERVIEW"

[link]My VERY BEST FRIEND, and unofficial mascot

I think everyone here wanted to get to know a bit more about the mysterious man who's featured so heavily in my gallery

A very kick-back mood was given to this interview for more realism


#10: "Stocking You" An Interview with AshenSorrow
[link]I've come to see these guys as my fellow family here on DevaintART.

They've done so much for me and so many others here on this site that they deserved to be heard

#11: "Reincarnate" An Interview with Elric Falconwood
[link]This artist is one who knows how to capture the beauty of decay and aging. A fascinating interview with a very unique eye

#12: "CONCEPTION" An Interview with Razvan Negrea
[link]My very wonderful friend and fellow staff member of my group. Razvan is artist with a totally unique vision who I respect eternally, and learn from constantly

#13: "Wanderer" An Interview with Jared H.E. Wingate
[link]I've become a personal fan of this man's work. My brother from another mother!

One of the very best artists here on DeviantART.
#14: "Essence" And Interview with Heather
[link]My DeviantARt Wife.


And fellow "Emoticon Addict/Abuser" There's really no difference between the two.

Such a beautiful style for an even MORE beautiful friend!


#15: "Interviewing Dan The DeathMetal Man" An interview with Dan Mitchell
[link]One of the people I'm keeping an eye on bigtime. So much talent and success at his young age makes me very excited to see where he'll be in the very near-future

[link]Sexiest Artist. Sexiest Characters. Sexiest Fan Art. Sexiest Tattoos. EVERYTHING is "sexy" when it comes to my beautiful friend known as "V"
