RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE VOL 4Hello Everyone

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE is a weekly feature to recognize one artist that stands out within our deviantART Community. This deviant must be an outstanding deviant within the community, someone who cares about other deviants and the deviantART Community! This deviant can be anyone, anywhere on deviantART. I believe it is important to recognize outstanding deviants and thank them for their time and dedication to our deviantART Community.

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE VOL 4. Dedicated to `JoseFelipeM
formerly known as the TheMasterNeko.

`JoseFelipeM is the founder of #dAseniors Home to the `Ticked Off

and helps to administrate several other groups as well

#DevNews, #stamp-kingdom, #FreeGiveaways, #deviousSUGGESTIONS, #Deviant-Mentor, #deviantART-Related, #Community-Projects, #StaffAppreciation and :d

The Senior 'Stache | August 4th 2012On behalf of #dAseniors, `TickedOffTeam is the base of operations for

and News of Senior members, defined as those users who have a ` or a ° as their symbol on deviantART.
This is a news article, posted once every two weeks, choc-a-block full of Senior happenings and initiatives, stunning visual features, an awesome mini-interview and much, much more!
Even though this is mainly Senior orientated, if you have something you want to promote or are just looking for something generally, senior or not, we invite you all to take a gander.

Deviousness Award Interview with IttiWhat is this Awesome Achievement?
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out
on the 1st of every month to one truly outstanding deviant.
The Deviousness Award for July 2012 goes to `Itti.

Hi Itti! Could you please give us an introduction of who you are and what do you do on and off DA?
Hi

I'm a mathematician living in Edinburgh, looking to get into computer programming. I'm 25 and a girl. People describe me as geeky, enthusiastic, thoughtful, shy, friendly, creative, and terrible at talking about myself.
On deviantART I run a little group called #Artcrossing where you exchange art or craft gifts in the mail (more about that later

The Stars of dAr - `Mirz123The Stars of dAr is a series where I interview one member of the deviantART Related (dAr) community each time, about personal and dA related matters. For today we have `Mirz123! She creates fantasic stamps, sometimes fun and silly, but also often with an important and profound message, and always in her recognisable style. She's also an enthusiastic community member in many aspects, and can be found in many corners of the community. But enough about her from me - I'll hand the floor to Mirz herself

Hi `Mirz123, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed
- Please tell us something about yourself!
By day I'm a mom who works as a secretary. By night, I don a cape and create emoticons, stamps, and write Lit. Though, looking at my gallery stats, I'm most-known for my stamps.

Minor Updates to Journal SkinsOver the weekend, the deviantART HeadQuarters have released their massive weekly Site Updates journal again!

This week, it included a couple of tweaks to journals that may have effects on your journal skins.
Journal Titles
For consistency and accessibility, titles of journal will always be links. Some journal skins will be affected by this change. Skin designers: you may have to adjust your CSS to override any unexpected changes to the title of your journal skin. - Added by $kemayo
In other words, the journal title is now not only a h2 but also an a, so the styles you (and/or dA's own CSS) specified for links will apply to it too... From my understanding, in many cases simply styling h2 a { instead of just h2{ will help prevent this

and don't forget a:hover and a:visited

Happy Birthday Moonbeam13!Hello all
Today marks a very special day for someone, and since this someone is our wonderful team leader, $Moonbeam13, we wanted to write a journal to say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIE!
Now a lot of you know Danie as the big chief of the Community Relations team, but I doubt half of you truly know how much of a hard worker Danie is. Not only does she have to look after us lively lot (and by “lot” have you seen how big the CV team is?!), but she works on copious behind the scenes projects on deviantART, making this place just a little bit more devious and better for all us Artists out there in the big dA community. Not only this, but she has to have a life at the same time!
Now we have decided to use Danie’s birthday for three things:
1. To wish her a very happy birthday (of course)
2.

dA Staff Appreciation Interview: chix0r:iconchix0r:
Hello $fourteenthstar How is life on and off dA?
- Life is very busy, but that's good

What first bought you to deviantart, and what made you stay?
- Wallpapers! I lurked around for a while before finally opening an account. The community are what made me stay -- there's no other like it.
What do you think of the community?
- Like I said before, there's no other like it. You can connect with so many people from all over the world, different types of artists and art appreciators. There's something for everyone.
How do you feel about dASAW?
- I think it's a great example of how awesome our community is. Everyone in the community operations team came from the community, it's a requirement when applying for any job in the department. We love that deviants like to show their love for the community and that they encourage others to appreciate that staff aren't just here because they have a job to do, but that they too appreciate and love the

PE Interview: Mirz123

Community Projects' Project Educate
An interview with `Mirz123.

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

My name is Michelle. I'm a wife and mom who also happens to (primarily) be an emoticonist. I've been an active member of the deviantART for about 2 1/2 years.
Why emotes?
Because I love an artform that people can actually use as a way to express themselves. To be able to give someone a voice and allow others to communicate more effectively is an amazing gift for me. Not to mention that I believe emoticon art can be just as compelling or appealing as more traditional artforms. When I see my emoticon works used regularly by other deviants, it makes me happy.
In your opinion what is a Community Project?
A giant collaborative, where every artist contributes to create a single piece or accomplish to a common goal. It allows artists of different skill levels and art a

Demonstrably Deviant: Issue VIIAbout
Sometimes we meet members of DeviantART who are just plain cool. They leave critique, they make great art or write great stories, they participate in groups and are generally just active and fun to be around. They also don't get any attention because being cool means you don't need attention to keep being cool. This interview series is meant to give all of you a small glimpse into the minds of these demonstrably deviant members. Twice monthly, I'll interview one of these deviants and feature work from their gallery. If you'd like to see someone interviewed for this series, just shoot me a note

with the subject "Demonstrably Deviant".

To be a positive force in the community doesn't always mean you have to get on a box from great heights and shout loudly. `Itti is proof that sometimes just getting on with things and making the most of your time on deviantART can build just

Recently, I was honored by our deviantART Community and became a Senior Member along with several deviants that I have come to know as friends, and several that I do not know as of yet, and truly hope to get to know each and everyone on the list
