1. What do you love the most about Daily Deviations?

I get to find new people to watch, as well as see art I would have never seen before. There's been some really inspiring work which has had a lasting impact on me. I always try and check them every time I log onto the site because I know how special it is for those who get them.

2. Have you ever received a Daily Deviation?

Oh my goodness, no. They're still some magical thing to me - maybe something I'll get one day ~ :shrug:

3. Do you suggest Daily Deviations?

Yes! I haven't done it too often since I always put lots of time into writing a description on why I think the piece should get a DD. I'm always so happy when a piece I've suggested is featured though!

4. Do you have any of your own fun facts or memories about Daily Deviations to share?

Hmmm... two of the DDs I've suggested were pieces by friends of mine and I was so proud of them when they were featured! I also get extremely excited when I see a piece I recognize that's featured, I'm not really sure why!
