dA World Tour in Toronto!

Sat Jun 27, 2009, 10:15 AM
The dA World Tour landed in Toronto yesterday, and it was just a fantastic experience. It was such a great turn out. Seeing so many people in "real life" just puts things in such a different perspective, especially when you start connecting usernames to a real faces. It was great to see artists coming together from all sorts of styles (w00t digital art!), backgrounds, and ages... it's really inspiring.

I pretty much got lost coming into High Park (it's my first time there, and the place is huge!). But I managed to stumble into a couple of lost deviants along the way... and we did eventually find our way. I was showing off some demos and just watching people interact with each other =)

Shout Outs!
After the meet, we headed to the cafe for a bite. $Heidi, my wife Alice, and I found a table and hung around with ~winnietehpoohie (thanks for hooking me up with the friends mockups!), =BleakSteadtler (I hope you had fun, and thanks for letting us borrow your iPhone!), ~crackerz1972 (I couldn't help but keep peeking over your cool sketches!), *CaptainQuirk (you gotta brush up on our previous contests, lol), and @DaPineapple (who somehow drove all the way to Toronto!). It was cool talking to you guys about life and sharing all sorts of dA trivia.

Oh, I finally got to meet `sodalicious and ^Ghouldaddy! They've been putting their heart and soul into organizing *toronto, so if you're local, +watch them and keep a look out for upcoming events! And it's great to see `neom and `picard102. It brings back memories of the good ol' days here at dA =)

Check out =axl99's High Park photo collage for a quick overview of what happened =)

Much Thanks!
$spyed and $Heidi! Thanks so much for dropping by and lugging that SIGNED PEPPER SKETCH FROM ARTGERM from Singapore all around the world just for me =D I hope you guys had a great time here (And I'm sure $Moonbeam13 and family took really good care of you guys!)

I also got a chance to meet up with Erik and Jim from Udon! They do a lot of the-not-so glamorous business side of things so their artists can focus on producing lots of great stuff... and that kind of sacrifice has been very inspiring. They really try to take the time to reach out to their fans (there's always new stuff to see at *UdonCrew). They're just really great people (and great hosts) who have a really infective passion for sharing new stories and art.

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

Thanks!

Ah, I'm not the musician guy =)

(And yup, Tiny Color Picker lets you pick colors off your screen... very handy when designing webpages on dA)

Oh okay, because use to be a Metal group named the Starving Artist. They were pretty good seeing how they opened for the band Killswitch Engage once.

Wait, so let me correct myself, with the Tiny Color Picker, I can go to ANY website, and pick colors off of it? Kind of like using the Ink dropper but OUTSIDE, of Photoshop or whatever program you're using?

If so, I'm getting this bad boy, and now.
