"We are, all of us, living in the shadow of Manhattan."
- Professor Milton Glass, 1985

This is very exciting to me. As I've mentioned before, most people don't really concern themselves with these numbers once they've reached a point where it doesn't matter; like 50,000 or 100,000 or 1,000,000. It's in the lower field that an artist can see whether or not he or she is gaining any kind of popularity, and folks, this is an important part of being an artist. Anyone who insists that they are only interested in pursuing the purity of their art and care not if the unwashed public appreciates it or not. That would be a rotund lie; because if that were true, that artist wouldn't even bother to show it to anyone. If refining the artistic nuances and techniques were all that were important those paintings or prints or etchings would be stored away in the dusty bowels of the artists garret, never to be seen. Artists crave approval, whether a lot or a whole lot but they do crave it. Who would show their work on deviantArt if not for the praise they hope will pour (or trickle) in? With the upper-elite artists with the 1,000,000 + site-visitations, this may be tempered with the patina of the commonplace. They appreciate their popularity but it's no longer a surprise; with the up-and-comers, every trip to their page brings the excitement of "who's visited me?" and "Who's made a new comment?"
It's this feeling of excitement that keeps me interested in deviantArt, and fills me with the urge to keep creating.

There's only one detail I forgot to mention; this praise and appreciation must always be _mutual_.

Give the comments and praise as eagerly as you receive it.

The majority has spoken! This now, will be the official ID pic of Frohickey. All hail Frohickey! (c'mon everyone. Along with me..."All Hail Frohick... Hey! Where's everyone going?)
