Can't believe DeviantArt is 20 years old today! Honestly that makes me feel so old haha. This place is where it all started for me personally, and that's truly no exaggeration. I really think my life would have looked totally different if I hadn't signed up to dA as a 17 year old, even though I had no idea what that impact would be at the time. This is the first place I started working on my 'social media' presence (that word didn't exist at the time), frequently updating my gallery with new art and interacting with an online art community - an approach that is now foundational to how I make a living from my art. It's also the first place I started finding new inspiration and connecting with other artists (some of whom I still talk to today!). It's where I started developing my style and artistic indentity. Even today, when I give talks and workshops, I always talk about joining deviantArt and the huge impact it had on me! So this birthday has a lot of meaning to me - It's bringing
Hey guys! Just a heads up to let you guys know that I finally launched a Patreon page! You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/loish In the last ten years of being a freelancer, I’ve found more and more of my personal time swallowed up by work and obligations. This year, I’m finally taking the step to change things. I’ve decided to make the time to paint freely, explore new things, sketch mindlessly, and let my creative mind wander. By supporting me on Patreon, you can help me to priortize my own artistic growth this year. As a patron, you’ll get a glimpse behind the scenes: WIPs, process shots, and a once monthly sketchbook tour video! So please consider supporting me there if you like seeing my work and want some extra behind-the-scenes stuff. P.S - I have no idea how this site works anymore! I'm so bummed that others can see my art on a dark layout, I feel like that's a terrible fit for my work haha. Has anyone figured this eclipse stuff out yet??
hey deviantart friends :] as you can see I still update here with my art, but I'm not able to keep up with all of the messages that I get, especially the notes! I'm active on so many platforms so I have to draw the line with notes/DMs/etc! so if you want to contact me, please use my e-mail address listed above! oh and if you want to see more frequent posts, you gotta follow me on instagram - http://instagram.com/loisvb are you guys still active here on dA? how often do you check in?
