Ok this will probably sound weird to most of you, but I have discovered something about myself that I never knew before.

When one of my favorite artists does really well, I find myself taking pride in their success. Just yesterday I was telling one of my co-workers about 's success in her tarot deck and how I was going to buy a deck so I could show everyone her beautiful work. And while I was telling her about the cards and Heidi's work, I realized I was as proud of her as if she were one of my kids.

From reading Heidi's journal entries for the last year and a half and from the notes back and forth I have come to think of Heidi as a friend. And I am extremely proud of her success.

Then another person I have interacted with, , has gone on to have a gallery showcase his work - single artist showing - and I realize yet again I am proud to have known (a little bit) this artist in his *pre-glory* days.

Is that just too weird or what? DO you think I am trying to ride their shirttails to success? I don't think it's true! I am not out for success. I am just here to have a little fun and to learn more about, both, art and myself. So, I guess in a way, I am here for success and I am already there because I am having fun, and I have come a long way in the year and half I have been a member of this community. Both, in terms of becoming a better artist, and a better person, too.

dA, I thank you for all you have given to me.

These are some artists you should check out; they definitely have talent.
