WHAT WAS 2008?
What was the most memorable part of 2008 for you? Was it political, personal, creative...? What most rocked your world in the past 12 months? What were you up to during 2008? Equally as important, what was your favorite piece of art at dA that was submitted during the past year?Though 2008 was a personally rough year for me, I was thrilled to be part of a few creative endeavors at deviantART, like Project Stacee & the Spartan Fella Plushie Contest. (Thanks again to everyone that took part!) I finally got around to making a new stamp for the Stockers A-Z listing. (See the top of this journal entry to get to the stamp, and feel free to use it anywhere you'd like.) And at last, my third year of featured deviant artists found it's way into my journal as well:I hope you all have a fantastic New Year! Thanks to all my watchers, friends, and stock users for easing my bumps and bruises of 2008. Here's hoping that 2009 will be brighter, more creative, and full of magic and warmth! Happy New Year to everyone!!
A very close, dear friend of mine <3 is getting married to the love of her life on the 17th of this month!!! To kick off a new year of features, I'd like to celebrate by offering tehkella some romantic features this week...
Anyone that wants to make wedding art for tehkella would earn a special place in my heart (and a special place in my journal features). Her wedding colors are purple, silver and white; and she loves seahorses and unicorns. Please feel free to send any art that you wish to make for her in a note to her and to me.FEATURED ARTIST :thumb58358694:
