DeviantArt is eight years old, and for us this means contest time! There are all sorts of cool birtday contests to participate in. Below are some of my favorites:
The 8th Letter of the Alphabet
This digital art contest is simply about illustrating the letter H. With a deadline of two weeks and some really cool prizes, it's my first choice to play.
8 Legged Freaks
If you are into Nature/Macro photography, this contest will be right up your alley. It's about taking photos of creatures with eight legs. I think creativity is the key here, so I won't submit spider pics... The one month deadline gives plenty of time to think of cool ideas.
8 colors for 8 years.
This is an interesting vector art contest, where one has to come up with a DA/8/birthday theme using only one of the provided 8-color swatches. This one is a bit short on the deadline - Aug. 15 - so I'm not sure I'll participate, but still worth a look.
8 Days a Week
A weird fan-art contest. One has to pick a Beatles song title/lyric as the theme of the artwork, and gotta be relevant to DA's 8th birthday. This one also has a short deadline (same as the previous one). Well... maybe.
Anyway, these are my favorite ones. Will you participate in any of these too? Or different ones? It's gonna be exciting times, a great opportunity to get to know fellow artists and make friends!

New year, new beginnings
Words of greetings
Hello, dear friends! It's been a long time since we've talked, longer than a year. Life happens. :)
What have you all been up to? I am glad to see some of you still going very active here. Lilyas (https://www.deviantart.com/lilyas) in particular is going strong as ever, with a seemingly inexhaustible power to share her art, her wisdom and happiness around. Hi Lily! :wave:
To friends who were similarly taken away by the tidings of life: I hope it's all going well for you guys, wherever you are. ^_^
Catching up, in a nutshell
How to sum up the past 16 months in a few paragraphs? Lists and milestones!
1. Married life is great.
I don't know who invent
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!
I'm lucky to know an awesome couple here on DeviantArt: WazzuOtaku (https://www.deviantart.com/wazzuotaku) and STAT1STICK (https://www.deviantart.com/stat1stick) - Sarah and Rudy. They're having their fourth anniversary today! :dance:
If there are inspirational relationships, theirs is truly one. Through their journals and notes, I've seen them going through hardships together, relying and supporting each other, sharing every triumph and defeat.
Seeing their marriage going strong after four years shows a promising future for Cherry and me too. :)
Happy Anniversary!!! :w00t:

Memories
I still remember how we first met. I just finished one of my first devi
A year's worth of ramblings
Let me start with a big hug for all my dear friends here! :hug:
Good news, bad news
It's been a while and there is plenty to talk about, both good and bad news - which one I should start with? Let's see the good ones first.
As part of my slowly growing Fireworks website, I started writing tutorials, when I spotted news on Adobe's Fireworks website: they announced the first-ever Fireworks Tutorial competition, hosted by Fireworks Zone. Just for the heck of it, I entered one of mine - and it won first place! :trophy: Whoa.
The prizes were quite useful: a color-management program called GenoPal, and a Fireworks command panel called DistriF
Starting anew in Asia
Back and happy
Hello everyone! I'm finally back and writing these words from Thailand. Actually, I got here weeks ago, but until now I've been terribly busy with sorting out all the issues that come with settling in for life in a new country. :)
The journey was long, and I felt very happy to hug Cherry again after spending such a long time apart. After a short recovery period I went back to work again and since then, life goes on as if this one-year European interlude were just a fleeting dream.
For now our main concern is about getting everything ready for marriage. The paperwork is about to be sorted out and that should be the last step.
