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.Geez, i don't know. I guess i'm as a person who is grateful for being put it in the path of the pencil and the paper. It reads pretentious? I hope not.
How did you find out about deviantART and why did you join the community?A friend of mine told me once, you should put your drawings on dA and i said, what? And once he showed me deviantART i fell in love with it. I joined the community, because it was really a community and i made many friends here.
When and how did you discover your passion for art?My dad used to collect old comic books and once i found them it blew my mind. I guess i started to draw all those i liked in every surface i found.
What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?Well it's hard to know. I always thought that this is a profession of feelings and we as artists find our gasoline in every day. It could be an idea, an awesome movie you saw, many thing, even sadness. And when that hits you, you're at your maximum.
What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?Well i always wanted to be a broadcaster or a chef, i love to cook and probably i will be on this track.
What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?I guess it's the
calvin and hobbes the movie poster. Sometimes i do this kind of ideas on photoshop just for the fun of it, and i never expect people react so good at it, and that makes it special because it was unexpected and because it's not a drawing.
Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?Always, once you think too much about a piece it becomes a difficult one. I think the artist who is so comfortable with his work and doesn't find a problem in his pieces it's a halted artist. This is about getting better everyday, even if it's 0.1%.
Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?Yeah of course it helps me mainly to relax when i have some trouble at home and brings the food to my table. So it solves most of my problems.
What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?Publish a comic book. In the past i never found the time to finish it, and now that i work as freelancer, i'm beginning to collect the money to print it. I think it'll be in 2014.
A few words for our fellow artists?Well i think... you shouldn't sell your artwork, or work as an laborer or a workman. Art its not for sale, as a serial product. Every piece you do, must your best one, and in order to do that i recommend to study many techniques as possible and never stop. Right now i'm learning to paint acrilyc. Keep going!

society threads her like a needleoh,
she is the child of
seam-wrecking morbidity.
clutching needles in the
palm of her mind's eye,
she gnaws and
twists and
spits her body slick,
down
down
down
until she can thread
through "perfect" at last.
it's a cruel vision,
that eye-of-a-needle.
and she's been beautiful
since forever.
oh, it makes me cry.
ah,
she's the one with
spiderweb skin.
all membrane and silver,
see-through in the moonlight
i could blow her away
with bated breath and my
whispered, desperate prayer:
"please
love yourself again."
step away from that mirror,
and the scale.
you'll find yourself wanting.
ah, it makes me cry.
sevenyou told me to stop feeling sad
as if it were something
tangible in my grasp
that i could simply drop
on the floor next to your old
dress shoes
to sweep under the carpet
and forget about.
but in the end we're going to
have to lift the carpet
and all of that dust
is going to filter into my lungs
anyway.
you're a fool if you think otherwise.

Tangled-Tales 
Dear DeathI sink my knees
into the sodden dirt
surrounding the grave
of a human long gone
I touch the stone's
chiseled cursive words
and trace the letters:
how gelid they've become
I stare at the flowers
that people have left;
upon the plot,
ham-handedly chopped
And I contemplate
my inevitable death
hoping no flowers are left
for the message they possess
"I'm trading life for death."
TryingDoesn't it make you sad
How your pearl earrings that shone in the moonlight,
and that silk gown that swept the ground,
Were sold with your tears?
And how your white satin heels,
and the diamond ring you always wore,
Were traded along with your soul?
And didn't it shatter your heart to pieces
when you finally realized
you couldn’t buy happiness,
yet you were still trying
ReflectionWe stare searching for protection
Craving endearing affection
Searching in an object, that gives us no response
And yet we stand there waiting
And hopelessly creating
An image of our self, that lacks a fundamental truth
And we’ll continue staring
Our expression shows we’re caring
And hoping, wishing, waiting for something we shall not see
Yes we’re seeking transformation
In an unchanging location
But in the end, the reflection shall not change
Please make sure to
