Kudos go out to the deviantART.com pixel wrangler halfliquid who was interviewed for an article about deviantART. Can featured guest spots on CNN and MSNBC be far behind?

The world just isn't ready for the amazing trend known as pixel art....Maybe someday, they will be....

Meh, sucks that the article wasn't about pixel art specifically... maybe next time.

I have no patience....

Hah! For the record, in the interview I spoke a lot about what pixel art is and how pixelists require both talent and patience and all that jazz (as in, how it's easy to get started with it because all you need is a basic paint-ish program that has a pencil tool, yet still hard to master and offers lots of progression). But what was more important to the angle of the article is how dA affected me artistically, personally, obviously.

Honestly did put a lot of emphasis on pixel art as, well, an art in general. Pixel art, the genre, was not even mentioned by name once in the article ("pixel by pixel" was -- but still!).

Was fun though!

DA seems like the largest art community on the web so it'd make sense that people scouting for talent would stop by there.

Halfliquid has been really cool about posting pixel stuff that PB and I have thrown at him and I'm happy to see that he's getting some respect. That insidious little halfie character of his has burrowed into my brain.

I can feel the jealousy steaming off of Sedgemonkey's head right now. And for halfliquid, I would just like to say one thing: sellout....

Just kidding. I think it's great that they interviewed halfliquid about deviantart. He has contributed to the site and is well deserved enough to gain notoriety, especially among the pixel-folks. Just like to say congrat's on the interview, and would also like to mention that I never knew that people checked out D'art's site for gallery potential or other professions. I thought it was just for fun. Maybe the interview could open a few more eyes and begin the age of pixel renaissance once again to the masses.
