We’ve created a DeviantArtist Questionnaire. Answer the questions below in a journal and submit it to the Deviant Events category. When done, search for the title and get to know your fellow deviants better by reading their answers. You may be surprised by how much you learn!

  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
    10 years

  2. What does your username mean?
    my initial + my last name. my previous name, spudsy2, is from an old Budweiser beer commercial from the mid 90's. they had a blue terrier dog named Spudsy as a mascot.

  3. Describe yourself in three words.
    old artistic wannabe

  4. Are you left or right handed?
    left... isn't everyone? :P

  5. What was your first deviation?
    Who's Up? by mbeckett i think it was this one. i had been drawing for less than a year at the time way back in 2005. i need to clean out my gallery lol Giggle 

  6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
    impressionistic painting with acrylic

  7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
    i would like to try printmaking. maybe lino block or wood cut. i might try it yet ;)

  8. What was your first favourite?
    Food for the Soul by fizzfoam i'm not quite sure.. i just cleaned my favorite gallery out as my tastes have changed a lot over the years, but i think this was an early fave.

  9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
    painting with acrylic or drawing with charcoal and/or conte crayon

  10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
    zeldis.deviantart.com/ - there are lots but this lady really sticks in my mind!

  11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
    lots! i think we should go have a big party!

  12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
    there are many artists that are very prolific, and i take inspiration from that. i can be a very reluctant painter at times.

  13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
    brush or pencil

  14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
    my teeny tiny dark and dingy studio

  15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
    i guess my one and only Daily Deviation. to top it off, it was one of my early color drawings. as i am partially red green color blind, it was an extra thrill!

I am hosting the Weekend Drawing Event on Wet Canvas this weekend. Come on over and have some fun!

It is a simple painting/drawing challenge where the host posts up to 16 photos (all copyright free) and the participants have 2 hours to come up with a piece of art work and post it for everyone to see and comment on. It is great practice and a lot of my art work here has originated from the WDE. by the way... it says weekend challenge, but it usually keeps going all week... very free form!

free to join... free to play... come try it out! 

P.S. my user id over there is the same as here :)
