A window in the infinity of the Web, Deviantart grows up any minute. I remember feeling amazed by the 7 millions of art pieces displayed when I joined, a while ago. Today, it seems that 223 millions is the actual figure...
Most of us, Deviants, remain anonymous, posting the better or the worst, getting some fame or shame in return.
What appears to me the core of this community is the human faces and souls behind the avatars. The human faces and souls beyond the pictures.
Art is nothing if not to be shared. Art is a place where eyes meet, where souls feel the same emotions, where hearts beat the same pace.
So is DeviantArt. A giant agora where one gets nothing if he/she keeps hiding under cover. Snipers may be remarkable sharpshooters. I doubt they can feel any thrill as far as they never get exposed.
Let us make this Community a Community. By putting names, faces, voices, hand writing, ideas and poetry on the pieces of art we like...
This is worth it!
Thank you to all those I've already met, to those I will.
Nothing is more meaningful than a Sunday lunch and stroll in Anjou, a shooting on the Channel shores, or a shared beer in Bangkok with real Friends.
This is not virtual.
This is Life...
And this is worth it...
