Deviant Art is amazing. I wonder if Van Gogh or even Ansel Adams ever imagined a time and place where so many amazing artists would unite in the love of Art. Every time I come back and look around I am astounded by the sheer number of amazing photographers, painters, and artists in general that are here.

This is so inspiring and at the same time it's a bit unnerving to think about the level of talent here.

I equate this community with the original concept of a free market. The competition, or maybe not competition but innovation, drives artists to better themselves and learn and create.

So I salute you DA, and the artists that make this community great.

P.S. Don't sell the company to some big corporate giant to cash out. Or if you do, wait till social networks really peak.
