Deviation Actions
They're scummy, encouraging artists to undervalue their art and taking a 20% commission on all sales.
Most of deviantArt's userbase is young and undervalue their art dramatically because they're inexperienced - and to put something like this out, I think, only encourages them to be comfortable with the idea that their art isn't worth much. I mean come on, through the commission system, some artists are only making 2 cents off their work. Two cents!
That's why, starting right now, I'll be browsing the Commissions section of deviantart and donating points to a few random users! A lot of points. Way more than 10. No one should be paid 10 points for a drawing. That's just pennies!
And I'll feature some artists in my journal later!

Anime Expo!
Hey gang!
I'm gonna be headed to the West coast for an entire month tomorrow, and I'll be hitting up AX! I'll be in the Dealer's Room at a booth with the awesome Kafai (https://www.deviantart.com/kafai) ! I haven't been to Anime Expo since 2008 so I'm super stoked to see it once again.
After that I'll be hanging around LA for a week-ish before heading up to CSU Monterey Bay for a short animation program I'm taking! Super excited and I hope some really good work comes of it.
Come say hi at AX!
(Also bring me coffee. It's my birthday weekend.)

Updates
If anyone keeps an eye out on my gallery, you'll notice I deleted quite a few things. It's been ages since I tidied up my gallery so it was high time! Lots of my old really embarrassing stuff is gone (especially every piece of Homestuck art I ever did), and I know a lot of them were still getting comments/favs and I'm sorry if I removed something you really liked. If there's something I took down that was a commission for you or something you really wanted to save, send me a note and I'll link you the image.
I also figured I needed a new journal skin since I have a subscription for a LONG time now thanks to winning %TheHungerGamesOCT (https://www.deviantart.com/thehungergamesoct) ?!

Hi.
You're fantastic.
I agree with this notion wholly.
