Happy 9th Birthday deviantART!

Fri Aug 7, 2009, 5:38 AM



9 years is long in internet time =D

To celebrate this special occasion, $a-r worked on a fantastic little t-shirt design. (Which I had the opportunity to pixelize in our header.)


       


And at $9.99 USD (9th birthday, 9 dollars... see the pattern?), it's a great deal. I believe this might be one of the lowest prices I've ever seen for a deviantWEAR shirt, so a lot of strings have been pulled (well, not literally!) to get this done.

And to top it off $zilla774 has modelled for it. =D

So get it before we run out =D

Happy Birthday deviantART!

Skin by $endosage

deviantID

 
Hi, I'm Stanley Sy. I'm a graduate of the Art and Art History joint program at University of Toronto and Sheridan College. I work behind-the-scenes designing "stuff" for deviantART.

Most of it involves hand-coding XHTML & CSS for various layouts (such as new events, news or journal entries) around the site. I really enjoy solving usability issues and organizing information for clarity, so it's been a fun, on-going challenge.

I get to work with some pretty talented people such as $pachunka (who does most of the cool front-end stuff you see here), ~levinet (who helps me out a lot), `multivitamin (who does all those funky Fella images) and many more.

Previously, I designed deviantART's Minimal skin. I also like to dabble in pixel art. You'll find a few of my little toolbar icons across deviantART.

Deviousness Award

There's a reason `starvingartist is a senior member here at deviantART, and it's not just his length of stay. Stanley has continually given to this community rather than take from it, and as such has proven his resourcefulness in this world of art. We see his contributions in not only his comments and submissions, but every day in the form of both his Minimal skin and the many small icons throughout the site. For these reasons, we at deviantART are proud to award `starvingartist with the Deviousness Award for September 2003.
-awarded September 2003

Bolt Award

As a card carrying member of both the devious Technology and Creative teams, Stanley has designed and touched the very soul of deviantART. In an industry where many allow their ego to grow beyond their skillset, Stanley is a shining example of someone who brings his intuitive talent to the table with no agenda other than one to get things done to the highest standard.It's with great honor that we award the Bolt Award to $starvingartist!
-awarded August 2009

Hello to you! I am doing the random hello thing. :XD: Inspired by one of the gallery directors (or was it another staffer? hm) saying that DA staff aren't scary monsters and it's OK to come and say hello. hehe.
