Hello guys!

Well, that will teach me not to pay enough attention to DA, right? I had been away from the all mighty Intarwebz this weekend (mainly to spend time with friends and family), only to come back to an inbox of 980 messages. Now, my shameful reaction was to assume all of this were art features from groups I have joined. I figured I would never get to browse through so many artworks and give each of them the attention they deserve, because they were published in such a huge amount, so suddenly! I was almost ready to delete these stacks and move on, until I glanced at my inbox and noticed the nature of those notifications. It took me a few minutes to realize what was really going on: my paper sculpture of an owl had received a Daily Deviation.

Once I figured that out, I choked on my pudding. That was step 1. Step 2 was to run downstairs and explain to my better half I had received a Daily Deviation. He did not understand a thing, but it didn't matter to me at the time. I ran back upstairs. Step 3 was to come back at the computer and validate my perception (I suppose I still wasn't sure such an event could be happening to me). Step 4 was to lay in bed with a retarded smile for 3 hours, not finding sleep.

Basically, this morning, I'm lacking sleep, but I'm excessively thankful for the DD. Shoutout to meihua who has suggested my artwork, and to Talty who has featured it.

Now, since I'm a fairly casual guy and I like to think I'm only doing art as a hobbyist, I've always enjoyed replying to every comment made about my deviations. I like paying attention to everyone who has been spending time commenting on my work. I enjoy the social aspect of art sharing, you know? However, in this particular DD situation, and with this inbox full of notifications, I'm afraid I may not be able to offer a personalized reply to every single one of you, sweet folks. I will try my damn best, but I may skip a few, for the sake of keeping my sanity. That being said, rest assured I will read everything and take all comments and critiques into consideration. I thank you for them.

On that note... I'm gonna head out to vote for my next prime minister (Canadians, go vote!), and then take a dive in this massive inbox!

Thanks, DA!
