As the title suggests, this news article's goal is to spread the dA love into everyone's heart! You will find here a little bit of everything, from awesome interviews with talented artists, art features, group promotion to random deviants' features. I hope you will find this informative and entertaining!
Tell us what defines you as a person.I am pretty sure you can call me a nature lover. I always enjoy taking long walks and I am happy to see flowers, trees and the overall beauty of nature. When I have my camera with me, I do not care about what people think of me. I may be a freak, a nerd or a stupid person in their eyes, but all I can feel when I take pictures is joy and happiness.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?I googled "drawings" when I joined deviantART, because I wanted to find a community in which I can showcase my drawings.
When and how did you discover your passion for art?Art in general? I loved drawing since kindergarten, does that count?
Haha!
I started taking photography seriously two and a half years ago. When my grandpa died in 2010, I almost had no pictures of him, just a handful. And that was the day I decided to catch every moment of life. Sounds cheesy, but this is my story.
What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?It is really easy. When I am outside and take a walk alone I can think and feel what comes through my mind. Especially when I am sad and listen to instrumental music, I can show my feelings in my pictures very well. It is such an enchanting feeling.
What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?I am sure that I would have continued drawing if I did not choose photography as my main passion.
What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?Lonely - When I look at it, I still remember all the scenes. These were my first pictures in the direction of macro photography. I took it and was not even sure how it would turn out. "Lonely." is special to me, because it was a great step into the thing I want to do now: Taking pictures of things people do not look at normally, and encouraging them to see the beauty of nature.
Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?Of course. I am sure many artists do have them. I am always unsure about the colors in my picture, that's why I am happy to receive critique.
Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?Yes, it did. Whenever I feel bad, I tend to take pictures. Without photography, I would not have found the will to continue hopeless situations. It makes me believe that everything can become better.
What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?I always wanted to take a great landscape-picture with a person inside it. Or take a portrait with a concept from my concept-book. There are too many ideas I'd like to translate into pictures!
A few words for our fellow artists?Keep doing what you want, and what inspires you. When you can identify with your art, it's the right thing to do. Just stay yourself. This will make you unique.

OsteoperosisWords and bones
are sticks and stones
and they will surely kill me
THE RINGTHE RING
it shines
on the finger
the single ring
I have from her
it reminds me
she is near
good or bad
she is here
there are times
she needs better
I feel I'm not
enough for her
but as I look
I always know
I love her and
she loves me so
be my queen
I'll be king
forever, always
I wear the ring
The StormI must brave the storm that faces me,
Let the rain wash over me,
Let the lightning strike me,
Let the wind berate me.
This is the storm of us,
The sum of all our lust,
What faces us with adversity,
Is what always seems to cleanse me.
So I leave it all to you,
Everything I do,
All that I can trust,
And my endless lust.
It all belongs to you,
So what will you say you'll do,
When faced with this responsibility,
The protection of my fragility.
Firefly.

Night,
Look here with your spectacle of sight.
I know you are there behind that blinding light.
Peeking in.
Your absence is lonely.
This cold drift that presses in on me..
I hold my jar up towards you.
Inside there were floating luminescent abdominal organs.
Another one has been captured.
A winged creature with sporadic flashes.
They look like burning embers against my pupils.
The reflection of my face staring back at me.
Captivated, I am, to her frown.
"Why do you look so sad?"
A crash was heard.
Conflict with an object.
A collision was met against arctic stone.
Glaring up at me was a brittle substance,
and I wat
Across the StarsSteely grey walls, polished floors and geometric rooms.
White light in the darkness of space,
Illuminating this small speck of life in the wide empty void.
Computers hum and whirr as crewmen call out to each other
And form a din of instructions and diagnostics.
Our mission is to explore that which lies beyond the horizon of this shimmering galaxy
I stand up at the bow, and gaze out the wide window of the cockpit
As we sail upon the endless, twinkling sea of stars.
I can only think to myself,
What am I to this great, open, frontier that is the universe?
As we cross the expanse of cold, black nothingness, all else fades away.
We are small.
AlliterationBraid the Brat's Beard
See if I care
Cut the Cat's Collar
See if it matters
Dare the Duke's Daughter
See what happens
Fight For Fox's Fodder
See if he cares
Go and Gargle Glass
See me laugh
Hark the Hens Halting
See me catch them
Juggle a Joker's Jugular
See my plan in the works
Kill the King's Knights
See me go back to hiding
Lose the Lovely Lady
Hear me laugh from far away
Make the Mayor Mark the day
Hear me say he'll never find me
Nearing the dawn of the Nigh Night
Hear me sneak away
Point at the Poison aPple
Hear me scoff
Question the Quivering Quail
Watch me end its life
Run from the Ruin of Red
Watch me climb
