This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I paint people. Using friends as subjects, I try to reflect a feeling of each personality in all individual works. I choose not to include a background because i want each piece to focus solely on the subject. Instead, I leave all drips and marks which occur during the painting process. I do this because I feel it is important to show some of the history of the final product. I like to leave visible brush strokes because I want my paintings to look like paintings. I do not believe in doing a painting to look like a photograph. I take influence from many different areas of art. From traditional artists like Lucian Freud, graffiti artist David Choe and portrait and tattoo artist Shawn Barber. Surrounding myself with creative people is also very important to me and my work.

Wow, your art works are fantastic! Its great to see an artist from aberdeen, im still in school studying at advanced higher level and you've really inspired me with the quality and detail you've achieve from it. so thanks!
Alright Stu, I'm that tall gawky guy with the beard that spends way too much money in your humble place of employment. Cool gallery- your stuff seems criminally under-rated here (whilst some 13 year old american pisshead gets 7 billion favs for their shit drawing of Mario). You seem to have a very honest approach to painting your portraits...
