> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
Hi, and thanks for the feature! My name is Julian, (un-)known as Einsilbig here on deviantART. My interests are many kinds of Art (music, especially guitar, and singing; and photography of course), Psychology as I am studying that, badminton, and there was a time I was cooking a lot :).
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
I really have to say that a year ago I didn't have any interest in abstract or surreal art. More specifically,

> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
I don't consider myself as a photographer, but rather as an image-maker. I always love art. Whether it is the visual arts such as painting or photography, but also music and literature. I love dreams and I need to get away from it all.
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
I'm totally self-taught and I got to photography and digital art intuitively. In my youth, I used to make collages; that's really fun. Later, I found the same pleasure with photo-manipul

CR Newsletter: November/December 2012An Introduction
Hallo, and welcome to the last Abstract & Surreal Photography missive for 2012, written for the bi-monthly Community Relations newsletter. Here you'll find relevant information from the last two months in Abstract & Surreal art, although for this edition it's just the last nineteen days! As this is my first truncated newsletter, the contents are somewhat haphazard: I promise I'll have something more concrete together for the next edition.
Instead, I shall formally introduce myself. My name is Darren - although most people call me D - and I'm the new Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal photography. I am glad to represent the community here on deviantART, and I hope that the next twelve months are productive for everyone. I will also take this opportunity to formally thank `DpressedSoul for his work in this position over the last year, and for his support since. I hope I can maintain the high standard that he set through

> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
Hallo. My name is Ralf, I'm 45 years old, and I'm from Bremen in Germany. My interests are primarily music and photography, along with movies and painting.
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
At first I started with abstract traditional painting as a means to express myself. As I reached my limits in that medium I experimented more and more with abstract and surreal photography, but now it's more the post-poressing of those images towards digital painting that f

Daily Deviation Report: January 2013Hallo, and welcome to my second Daily Deviation Report. What follows is a comprehensive feature of the Daily Deviations that I featured during the month of January 2013 in the Abstract and Surreal categories. Additionally, there also a number of Conceptual works included this month as I helped out during a time when there was no Conceptual CV in place. That, of course, has now been put to rest with the appointment of ^astridle in the role.
In terms of this collection, all of these images caught my eye in some way; whether it be through technical perfection, compositional intrigue, or the concept within. I am proud to present these works, and I applaud the relevant artists for their dedication and inspiration.

Daily Deviation Report: December 2012

Tue Jan 1, 2013, 7:39 AM

This is the first Daily Deviation report that I have composed, so I apologise in advance if it is a little rough around the edges. Nonetheless, what follows is a comprehensive feature of the Daily Deviations that I featured during the month of December 2012. All of these images caught my eye in some way; whether it be through technical perfection, compositional intrigue, or the concept within. I am proud to present these works, and I applaud the relevant artists for their dedication and inspiration.

Through the Fog by `limnides

This month, the following artists helped me greatly with my Daily Deviation features by sending suggestions to me via note for works, or artists, that they'd like to see featured. While in some cases I chose another work from the artist, their input was nonetheless invaluable as these works would not have come to my attention otherwise.

For those of you who suggested work that I did not, or have yet to, feature, thanks are also due. I appreciate each and every suggestion that I receive, and while they may not always end up with a Daily Deviation feature, it does expose me to new artworks to critique, appreciate, and feature elsewhere. Most of the content of my Friday Feature articles come from suggestions by other artists, for example! So, please, don't be discouraged if you don't get a reply or don't see your suggestions featured: feel free to send more in future.

Thank-you for your time, and all the best for the new year.
