Hi printscommunity (https://www.deviantart.com/printscommunity)!, In our last poll we asked about your use of Twitter in promoting your Prints. Well, the community has spoken and a number of you have asked for some tips on how to better use Twitter to promote your work. So, we've put together some tips for you on how to leverage the Twitter platform in marketing yourself. Twitter is different from dA, facebook, and tumblr in a number of ways. Perhaps the most important is brevity. Most tweets live and die in a matter of minutes. The vast majority of tweets die in the first hour. Also, you only have 140 characters to say what you want. So how the heck are you gonna use this thing

Tomorrow, February 14, 2013, is spyed (https://www.deviantart.com/spyed)'s birthday for those of you who may not know. Angelo is most likely the most dedicated deviant out there, after all, he keeps this place going. However, he is also a very kind deviant who often asks towards giving to others rather than giving to himself. This year, I wanted to feature a few amazing artists I have found as a dedication to Angelo as well as to those artists. Angelo, happy birthday, we appreciate all the work you have done for this amazing community. :heart: I hope you all enjoy this.

Why Drive will be the movie that is remembered in years to come  Film Noir is a genre of “life in the shadows” movies that became popular in America during  the uncertain times of World War II.  Westerns have remained a shorthand for the American  psyche with their sullen outsiders with a personal code of honor bucking the system.    Samurai films mirror the lone avenger protagonist, but set against a longing for a lost  society of incorruptible values. Now and again a notable contemporary noir or western or  samurai film emerges with little fanfare amidst all the commercial cacophony of the louder,

Hello, Arts-and-Health (https://www.deviantart.com/arts-and-health)!! Welcome to your December Challenge! Your theme for this month is: Coping Mechanisms "Coping mechanisms" refers to how we cope with illness, whether in positive ways (practicing religion, exercising, writing, hanging out with loved ones, meditating, etc.) or ways that are not so good for us (smoking, etc.). Show us what you personally use to cope with your condition (or if you do not have a health condition, show us what others you know do to cope). In your artist's comments, please make it clear that you have created your piece for our group. (If we can't tell that it is relevant to coping, we will not accept

I have decided not to contribute any funds to PETA. Contributing to local, voluntary organizations that are badly in need of funds feels closer to my heart. Clive. Project Link:  http://tiny.cc/barkerodyssey

EDIT AGAIN: OH MY GOSH. My wish at dAWishingWell (https://www.deviantart.com/dawishingwell) for 1,800:points: was granted! So I went out and bought three more PMs, for OkamiFlautist (https://www.deviantart.com/okamiflautist), fancyfur (https://www.deviantart.com/fancyfur), and my friend Ask-Doll-Face (https://www.deviantart.com/ask-doll-face). Now that my membership has been extended to 18 months, I'm feeling pretty give-y, since that's what I'd been saving up for before. Now all I want to do is pass on my good karma to others! :love: Thank you so much, dAWishingWell (https://www.deviantart.com/dawishingwell)! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… EDIT: With the help of some very nice deviants, I have managed to raise 2,089:points:.

:star:  Happy 12th birthday, deviantART! In two days, on August 7th, deviantART will celebrate our 12th year on the Web.  As deviantART's third employee (behind spyed (https://www.deviantart.com/spyed) and chris (https://www.deviantart.com/chris)), I've spent over 40% of my life working for the site. The last 12 years have oftentimes been a roller-coaster ride of the highest highs and the lowest lows, but having the opportunity to help build a site like deviantART -- that truly impacts the lives of millions of people -- while getting to work with good friends and talented peers, has been well worth any hardships.  It's been the best experience of my life. My time at deviantART has been an incredibl

Sharing Something a Bit Personal Dearest Friends/Watchers here on dA... I hope you don't mind if I share something a little bit personal. I'm not used to sharing things publicly, that are personal, let alone dedicating a whole journal to it. But... being that we live very far away from any sort of family, and have made so few local friends since moving here, I feel a therapeutic need to put together a little something here, on dA, where this has been the only online community I have been visiting for almost five years now... it has become a type of family for me... And I hope it is okay to say so. :heart: I was away from dA, for a while

Photography is simply a technology that allows you to record a moment in time, in a box that simply captures a moment of light. Simple and basic as that, no myth there. But the decision on how to capture that moment and its variables like composition, time and subject matter remain in the hands of photographer. Let's talk about that box, how it affects composition, and the time we live in. Photographic technology has developed at a rapid pace. From the 19th century's cumbersome daguerreotypes to today's compact digital cameras,  photography has become one of the most accessible art mediums, but more related to motion pictures that we might

As part of my role in dASAW, I had the pleasure of interviewing the fabulous, codenamepanther (https://www.deviantart.com/codenamepanther). Enjoy! :dalove: :megaphone: 1. How did you discover deviantART, and what made you stay? I discovered deviantART back in the day when Heidi (https://www.deviantart.com/heidi) introduced it to me. Essentially, I have known about it since it started, but I didn't join until about 3 years ago. I think the passion of the community and the amazing work I see on a daily basis has made me stay. :megaphone: 2. Tell us the story b

Hi all! Jade (Aeirmid (https://www.deviantart.com/aeirmid)) here! Backstage here at seniormentors (https://www.deviantart.com/seniormentors), we've been thinking hard about how to breathe some new life into this group! I am taking the lead on two things at the moment: :bulletblue: Extending our network of Senior mentors by inviting new Seniors to join the project; and :bulletblue: Starting some blog-based activities to supplement the Critique Night events that LostKitten (https://www.deviantart.com/lostkitten) hosts. I'm borrowing the first of those activities comes from a group for which I am an administrator. The activity is called, "How do you do that?" Here's how it works: :bulletred: Is there some trick or technique you've always

Hello! :wave: It has been a while! To those still watching, I thank you for sticking with us through our down period. Life gets hectic sometimes and dA has to take a backseat. But I've always wanted to revive Critique-It (https://www.deviantart.com/critique-it) because I feel deviantART needs a vibrant critique community as much as it needs any other sort of community. We will be re-opening our doors on February 1st! I'm re-launching the group as part of a year-long project devised to approach solutions to some of the issues that most people complain about on dA. People have a lot to say about critique on dA, and one of the chief complaints is that there just isn't enough of

And June comes to a close! Incredible how quickly it flew by, isn't it? Well, it's been less than a month since I was handed the privilege of working as a community volunteer here on dA and I have already been thoroughly enjoying my time as one. As we close this month, I figured it would be nice to round up the DDs I awarded in June. A big "thank you" to those who suggested some great photos through the notes sent my way. I appreciate it and I hope you keep sending me more incredible pieces. If there are other photos you believe really deserves the award, don't hesitate to note me with a thumbnail of the images along with a brief description
