Hello, deviantWORLD! 
I originally found deviantART in 2002 through
IshiIkari (who had a different username at the time), but joined in 2006 in order to wish
Aoringo a Happy Birthday.
But finding
deviantART and finding the deviantART
Community are two completely different things.
I stumbled upon the dA
Community on deviantART's first "
Deviant Appreciation Day" when I accidentally clicked a link that sent me to the
#devART channel. I was instantly impressed by the kindness and generosity of my fellow deviantARTISTS, and became addicted to their crazy antics and laugh-out-loud banter.
The rest, as they say, is history.
