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 really like animals and often I get ideas from staring at certain things or towards a direction for long time. So some might say I'm a bit quirky. I do like interacting with people but most of the time I would rather observe and listen to them.
How did you find out about deviantART and why did you join the community?Five to six years ago, a friend of mine told me that deviantART has a lot of amazing artist and so I joined to look at their arts.
When and how did you discover your passion for art?When I was around the age of 7? That time I was really interested in anime or manga style, I would draw pokemon everyday. However, I was horrible at it, I got better around the age of 17 to 18 I think.
What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?Nature, human beings, animals and most of the time I found my ideas in dreams. So I would say I'm most creative when I'm sleeping, haha.
What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?Well, actually I'm currently taking a bachelor of Science in Agricultural Science because I like to work around animals and plants. So if I hadn't taken Science, I would have taken arts but I love both with same passion!
What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?I would say
Wolf and Bunny might not be the most beautiful art but it's meaningful for me because I drew this for an Internet friend of mine, he's a real sweetie and had been so understanding for 3 years since we've know each other. And in this drawing, includes both our characters in game. Although we're separated by continents and oceans we're grateful for each other's existence and accompany.
Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?Sadly, I don't think much when I draw something because most of the times I just want to capture that moment or that feeling. So that's why most of my art doesn't have deep meaning underneath, I felt that my art is kind of hollow and without any solid meaning behind it.
Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?Indeed, I enjoy looking at other people's design and ideas. Whenever I'm upset, drawing or doodling makes me feel much better.
What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?I would like to travel to other countries and eat all sorts of food one day. I hope I can achieve that before anything bad happens to the world, hahaha.
A few words for our fellow artists?Hello guys! Often I've heard from various artists mentioning that manga and anime style isn't art. However, from my point of view I would say anything could be art as long as it sparks in people's eyes, as long as there are people admiring it, find the beauty in it. So don't give up easily and practice if you think you're not good enough!

divinationI wish I had something
that I could call a portent,
that I could swear into your skin
like an omen;
I wish I had a promise
that I could keep no matter
what.
But I cannot read the tarot cards
in your skin
despite their weather-beaten folds,
nor do I understand
the lines on your palms
any better than I do myself.
I'm not a fortune-teller,
our love isn't a carnival game,
and there will always be something about you
that resists any attempt
to define it.
You think you can
bounce from tent to tent
to see the freaks held
in my hall of broken mirrors;
You're wrong.
No crystal ball, no scrying bowl
can close the gap between us.
Definitive-you're weaving the seams of letters
(the alphabet dipped in stars)
between your fingers, standing
on dysfunctional black holes,
holding the edge of the universe
within your cradling arms
all the while thinking
it's just not enough
trying
to drown yourself in the words
you desperately tried to fix-
The Path of LifeI like walking on paths lain
with jagged stones for
no one has
dulled their sharp edges...
...yet.

A Telescope for PolarisThe strands of my percussion strings
turn dull in the sight of
your subconscious bearings.
You are like the hail
who threatened to come;
an itch
I can’t quite place.
And I write letters
to the archers
and the mermaids-
hoping they’d bring me a swallow
to hunt the raven-like insect
whispering nevermore
in the recesses of my hair.
[So far they haven’t replied yet.]
Thus I’ve found
I could distract myself with pastimes
I’ve come to name as habits--
like drinking the tepid water
of other people’s drudgery,
while I ponder on what sorts of poems
you wrote
when she called herself yours.
It must have been quite nice,
while the coffee was newly brewed.
And I see how clouds
could pass for stars some nights;
why cicadas sing
and nightingales don’t.
I see your eyes
and how they see things differently,
how I want them to know
a little part of what they don’t.
And in staring in them
as if I could knit my universe
straw by straw, I’ve reali
