Watch Forever

I discovered the idea for this journal through .  Then I was triple dog dared to do it by so at that point I simply had to follow through!  

The idea is to feature Deviants that have touched or inspired you in some way that you have watched a long time and would continue to watch forever.  The Deviants below are some of the very first people that I started to watch back in 2005 and 2006.  Unfortunately, some of the artists mentioned are no longer active, but they are still worth checking out. 

I have to say that coming up with everyone mentioned in this journal was extremely difficult because I do watch so many amazing people!  One could easily find many worth watching by taking a look at my friends list.

Ana was one of my first inspirations as I stumbled into the world of deviantArt and photomanipulation.  She is not only talented, but a wonderful person as well.   Her gallery is dark and beautiful and is a must see if you have never happened upon it before.

Andrea’s gallery takes us into the fantasy land of fairies and mystical beings.  Her pieces are soft and magical and were definitely another inspiration in my early years of photomanipulation.   

Jen was probably the first person that reached out to me and conversed with me on deviantArt.  She made me feel welcome and part of the community and for that I will forever be grateful.  Her strength and determination are inspiring.  

I can’t imagine that there would be anyone in the photomanipulation community that wouldn’t find Jasmin to be a huge inspiration.  Always helpful and thoughtful she is someone we can all learn something from.  Her skill for making things glow is amazing and drool-worthy.

Always kind and helpful Pam has been someone that I’ve enjoyed speaking with over the years.  She is another individual that has succeeded in making my stay here welcoming and a fun place to be.

And, now, here are some other awesome Deviants that definitely deserve a mention…
