I sent out the voting notes to the judges for Project Stacee this week. I plan to announce the top 3 project submissions on the 17th of this month. Thanks again to everyone that made the time to get involved. You all made a big difference in someone's life.
While the judges deliberate, I'd like to feature some fun autumnal deviations since fall is my favorite season... Enjoy!
Each time I update my journal I like to feature an artist that has used my stock in their art. This week's featured artist is...
valkiria-art: This Polish "deviant of many talents" has been at deviantART for a year this week. Her gallery has traditional art as well as digital art for you to enjoy. In addition to her own art, she supports other artists by offering stock images and textures at valkiria-stock.
