Time Flies

9 min read
 It's been a while? I feel bad, in a way. Sometimes I log in here and see numerous notes, and messages. I just don't even know where to begin with all that. So...I figured I should at the very least leave something here to direct people properly.  

But after a while
You realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

You'll may (or may not) have noticed that all my work is in storage. I don't feel the need to justify why; it should be obvious. Truth be told, I rarely log in here. I do occasionally upload to Flickr and Instagram. I'm also still around on Twitter. I don't really have much of a digital presence these days!

She said luck is what you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while

I still receive notes from people suggesting deviants for Seniority. That's a shame. Looks like there's not much action in that area anymore.  If you have any Community issues, comments, concerns or cheesecake it is probably best to contact moonbeam13 as sadly, my days of influencing such matters are no more. I still make awesome cheesecake though.

She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh and smile


I think that just about covers it?

Hope you are all well :dalove:

Introducing Aeirmid






:iconaeirmid:


Hi everyone! I'm Jade, better known around DeviantArt as Aeirmid. I chose my username because Aermid (or Airmid) is an Irish goddess of health and healing, and I wanted to pay tribute to her because I have dedicated my life to promoting mental and physical health in others. In fact, I'm just finishing up a PhD program in public health. In March, I will celebrate 10 amazing years on DeviantArt. Although I started my journey as a photographer, I quickly became enthralled with photomanipulation and worked hard to develop some skills. I chose my original name on DA, SanguineVamp, because I loved all sorts of dark and Gothic work. I still do. Still, I had a hard time creating dark art because my attempts at blood and gore always somehow magically evolved into fairies and goddesses.




I gave myself over to the creation of fantasy work for many years. Over time, I became more and more involved with the DA community and started "clubs" for collecting fantasy and dark work and for getting feedback on your work. Our feedback club became an alpha group, one of the first groups on DA. I fell in love with the community here and haven't left. I was so lucky to be chosen to join moonbeam13's Community Volunteer team as the photomanipulation CV, and I now oversee the Digital Art gallery. I've enjoyed playing a lead role in various activities for the community, especially around Halloween time. There's no place like DA. It's been a wonderful ride, and I look forward to the future!

Deviousness Award Winner







The digital art communities on DeviantArt are comprised of some of the most hardworking and dedicated artists around the world, and they have one of the most committed volunteers to match. Aeirmid has served as the Community Volunteer for the photomanipulation and general Digital Art communities for nearly three years, pouring her heart into helping the community flourish. In addition to the time and energy that Jade puts toward the community, she is also a talented and hardworking artist whose skill and keen eye show through in even the smallest details of her work.

Jade has been an inspiration to me from the minute I met her on DeviantART. She has an unstoppable force of energy that just encompasses you and you can't help but be taken in by her tidal wave of enthusiasm for everything she does. Her dedication and passion shines through not only in what she does within the community but also within her own work. :heart:





When there is something to be done, Jade puts everything into doing it, whether it's a group, contest, project or something else entirely. One particular example that comes to mind is Halloween-HQ, where I, and many others, had the privilege to work beside Jade. I bring up Halloween-HQ because it is probably the largest activity I've ever been involved in in my 5+ years of this site, which says a lot about Jade. Jade shoots for the sky. She is so supportive of everyone, so much so that we can't help but be caught up in her boundless passion for DeviantArt, and, more importantly, the community on DeviantArt.







Jade is a lot more than just an incredible artist and star deviant. She has an immense gift that she shares with deviants each and every day. She is caring, funny, and wonderful to talk to. She is a leader in the community, both as a Community Volunteer and as a friend. And her artwork is stellar, without a doubt some of the best photomanipulation I know. Myself and many other deviants look up to Jade each and every day whether we are looking for guidance or just to suggest a Daily Deviation to her gallery. If you don’t know Jade, now is the time to say “Hello”. Congratulations to Jade, be proud of this award as we are certainly proud of you.





Aeirmid has been an incredible mentor to me, and quickly became an incredible friend as well. She is an amazing role model for the community, always striving to do more, and always giving her best for us all. The tremendous amount of work she does for the digital community warms me, and her constant desire to help and make a difference does not go unnoticed! It is rare to meet someone who will bring so much positivity and inspiration to your life.










Jade is one of the most kindhearted and helpful people who goes above the standard for the community. Her strong personality and dedications are infectious and make us join her.





Jade is an amazing and talented woman.She is brilliant, kind, and generous. Her tireless devotion to the Deviant Art community has been an inspiration for so many, myself included. She has been the guiding light, and  steady hand that has helped so many improve their art and Deviant Art experience. Jade is a dear friend, sister of the heart, and embodies what the Deviousness Award is all about.





Jade is an amazing deviant, volunteer and friend.  She is always thinking of new ways to bring the community together through projects, features and groups.  Her work at the HalloweenHQ group is especially admirable given the scope of the contests in 2012 and 2013. She is an endless source of warmth and inspiration and the community would be a very different place without her.





Jade is such a caring, loveable soul that it's impossible to put it into words. Caring and kind, and always interested in what's going on. She put her heart into the community, as a Volunteer, an artist, and most of all, as a wonderful person.

I first met Jade two years ago thanks to a photomanipulation group and she quickly became one of my bestfriends. I have always been able to count on her whether it be for seeing me through dark personal times or heading up community projects and groups. Over the last two years, I had the honor of witnessing firsthand her natural ability to lead as well as how she genuinely cares for others through her superb work with both the photomanipulation and mental health communities. She goes out of her way to support the growth of others whether it be artistically or personally; making her an amazing individual that I have the honor of calling my bestfriend as well as someone I look up to. I cannot think of anyone more fitting to receive recognition for her amazing contributions to our community. Congraulations, Jade!





Not only is Jade an amazing friend and artist, shes also amazingly passionate about the DeviantArt community. No matter if shes helping out individual deviants, creating support groups, events and contests or features for everyone, Jade gives 110% in everything she does. She is truly inspirational to everyone around her, and I am proud to see her immense efforts being recognized with the Deviousness Award.





When I grow up, I want to be like Aeirmid!  Jade is an inspiration to me as a deviant and as a CV. She is so devoted to the community!  Whether it's a feature, an event, or one of her fantastic mental health articles, she is always working on something. She truly cares about this place and the people here. I am proud to call her a friend, and so happy she is being recognized with Deviousness!















Congratulations to aeirmid!

2 days left in 2014, eek! It's certainly been a quick year for me - how about you?

As we head in to 2015, I'm back at work today, reading the multitudes of Seniority suggestions that have landed in my inbox. The next announcement will be made early in January, so if you have any last minute suggestions for someone who you believe should be made a Senior within our community, please drop me a note.

Before you do, however, please make sure that you read the following;

FAQ #29: How do I become a Senior Member?

I wish you all a very happy and inspired 2015! :holly:

Welcome to Toronto! Canada


Who are we?

toronto is a group that organizes and hosts devMEETs every month at a travel-friendly location. Our mission is to bring together deviants around the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario Canada, to meet new friends and to discover the face behind familiar names.

:icontoronto:

What do we do?

We host many kinds of devMEETs. We have attended conventions such as Fan Expo, Anime North, and Toronto International Book Fair. We also tour art galleries, photography exhibits, and have our own drawing and photography sessions under the blue sky. Sometimes we simply get together and play a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity, a game of tabletop RPG, or watch a few movies of our attendees' choosing. At other times we get sporty and play pool/billiards, go bowling, have a round of ultimate frisbee, or go hiking in a city-center park.



What do we have planned next?

You're in luck! On Sunday Dec 21, we will be hosting our annual winter skating event at Toronto City Hall. If you or a friend are in the area, please feel free to join us. We promise you a wonderfully fun time. You can find the full itinerary for the event here, and don't forget to RSVP! We look forward to meeting you.
