Alright,  I'm getting the hang if this place now.  

Got front-paged a couple of times, made a ton of new art friends, and discovered so many new artists I never would have heard of otherwise. Also, on the whole, this place is about a million times more helpful,  and welcoming than I thought it'd be.  

I know it's still early days for me here,  but so far,  I'd say this is exactly the kind of community I've been looking for.

Thanks for that.
