1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
11 years, 10 months, and 19 days!
2. What does your username mean?
Dan Lev(eille)
3. Describe yourself in three words.
Laid-back, friendly, passionate
4. Are you left or right handed?
Right
5. What was your first deviation?
A drawing I made in 2001 (when I was 13), but submitted the day I joined DeviantArt in 2003. Final Fantasy IX was my first and favorite of the series.
6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
Lately, it's been web and interface design, though I do love photography as well.
7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Logo and icon design. I have experience with it, but I wish I had it mastered. It'd be very helpful when designing interfaces.
However, mastering video and animation would be handy as well.
8. What was your first favourite?
Another Final Fantasy IX deviation.
9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Probably photography. I think I browse that category the most, however, I think digital art might be a runner up.
10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
FlorentCourty
It's so hard to choose one, but Florent has been one of my favourite photographers for a while, because of his breathtaking landscape shots.
11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Two of my old friends, iNN0CENTxKiSSES and endlessdark , who I knew from way back in the day. They were good friends of mine from when I was in high school.
12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
punkie078 , who was also one of my friends from way back. We met on DeviantArt (I believe in the chat rooms) maybe 10 or 11 years ago. Though there isn't one specific thing he's done to impact my life, we've been online friends (and met IRL a couple times!) ever since, and we'e stayed in touch all this time.
13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
Photoshop, Sublime, Chrome Developer Tools, and a huge Thunderbolt display. 
14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
To be honest, alone at my desk in my apartment.
15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
It's definitely DeviantArt's 10th birthday party at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. It was so great to see so many deviants celebrating in one, physical location.

Oooo, a big dAmeet party would be so awesome. I do count you amongst the deviants I'd love to meet.

Dan, I never realized we both liked Final Fantasy!!! I love your deviation, too! The oldest drawings (even though I uploaded them after more recent things) of mine were FF7 drawings in a sketchbook!

DeviantArtist QuestionnaireFifteen years is a long time for any social media website.
I know that I have been so blessed to be here for ten of those years. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of those who’ve made a positive difference here within the community in my active years closely involved within it. Without any of you, DeviantART would certainly have not been the same for me – and I might not have found my happiness – my home – my truest heart.
I recently celebrated ten years of devious in May. Here is the original link to my celebratory journal. Thank you to all of those who made it special.
I adore Abraham Lincoln and consider myself a proper “lady.” Hence the name “LadyLincoln.
