Just a quick blurb to explain what the ODDs are about so folks understand. I am featuring your artwork for many reasons - the most obvious one being that I like it or I find it inspiring. There are tons of things I can post here to explain why I do what I do on dA - but I think most of you already know why. I love art. And I love this site. If folks hate dA - or administrators - or features - please keep it to yourself and just politely ask that your images be removed if I have featured them in a way you don't appreciate or approve of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


After many many weeks - I have finally come back to my ODD page to pay tribute to my top 50 deviant artists of 2008. Some are old timers - some are noobs - all are wonderful Please visit their galleries and tell them how awesome it is to have them on dA!

**PLEASE NOTE - these deviants are chosen by me for various reasons and ONLY to tell them I love them and they're wonderful/talented etc etc - this particular year contains many senior members and a few staff/volunteers - I don't want to hear ANY complaints. Anyone complaining about not being on this list will be ignored and/or beaten in the head with some festive turkey bits! thanks in advance for being happy and supportive deviants! xoxo***

NOW Then - these are in no specific order. I will be doing the BEST OF THE BEST lists in the next few weeks - this means I will be choosing short fav lists of each genre and features of those artists. That way - no genre feels left out - my BEST OF THE BEST often features artists that are NOT on my top 50 list - so feel free to make any suggestions for specific genres (ie digital art paintings, fractals, trad art etc) Thanks for all the inspiration folks! I love ya to pieces - but you all know this already !

xoxo
Sandi
