Looking back on the year...
:thumb433880:

And some DA humor.
...on the year 2002. 10 June 02 to 15 July 02, to be exact.
As for the year 2009, it was busy. Didn't get much browsing in but I wanted to get one last article out before 2010 hits. That is, for the Chicago time zone anyway.
I found a lot of emotes that are part of the current set, and some other ones that were extremely well done and interesting in their own way. The rest is a good mix of what was going on in that time period. And of course, I had to include the comic image featured last above. If you've been around DA for a bit, you don't need an explanation.
So, hope you enjoyed this time slot and I'll work on getting the next one posted as soon as I dig up some of the treasures of back when DA was a tad bit younger.

Way Back When 6Hmmm.....
It's been a long time and too much has happened during that stretch, most of it not so good. Between jobs right now so I figured I'd work on some art and post it here. Much to my surprise, DA has changed. A lot. First impression, DA has become Microsoft. Windows used to be extremely easy to do things and the more they "upgraded" it, the more difficult it is to get basic functions completed. Uploaded two images into what I thought was the fractal gallery (topic says Fractal but it's severely lacking in images), but neither appear during searches of those galleries. Can't figure out how to change any browsing options. Used to be able to select new, popular, etc. but now you get what you get and that's about it. Finally figured out how to get to the people I watch, and it's much of the same as the main galleries, all the great options are now gone. Maybe they're not and it's another one of those things I have to relearn, again. I liked the ability to remove viewed images of
My kid...
...could paint that.
Are you familiar with the documentary "My Kid Could Pain That?" Have you seen it? A 4 year old girl busted upon the abstract art world and caught everyone by surprise. What she was doing was painting extremely complex traditional abstract paintings that caught the attention of some gallery owners, who later featured her works and sold some for five figure prices. Experts and journalists all caught wind of what was going on and naturally, the questions started flying. Was this 4 year old girl a natural phenom? Or was it her dad who was actually doing all the work, after all, he aspired to be an artist himself but ne
Reunion
Time flys, often too quickly. Last night was my 25th year school reunion, and in many ways it only seems like only a few years have gone by.
What question did I get asked the most last night? "Are you on Facebook?" I think I was one of maybe two people out of 50 or more that wasn't. My answer? "No, I'm on Deviantart." That was followed by blank stares, appears DA isn't as widely known as we deviants think it is. Luckily my Nexus 1 Android phone was getting good 3G signals so I was able to show them some of my art. Seeing is believing, I think many of them were interested in DA after seeing what it was all about.
It's amazing how man
Reality Checks
Why are you here?
I've probably asked myself that so many times that I've lost count. Mostly I'd say to help others, I even noticed that in my "About Me" link on my page, upper left under the avatar. I was updating my birthday settings and forgot that was in there. It was also in there to promote the artwork of others. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I hit the mark on both those goals.
And sometimes I get reminded of something very old and inspiring; perhaps of "simpler" times when I might have been more focused.
So You Want A Daily Deviation?
Thanks, Serathus (https://www.deviantart.com/serathus) for the blast from the past and for the slap in the face to not lose focus
