Heh, never used the DA journal before o.O

If you can't be shitted to read, just skip to the last paragraph or so, it's straight to the point.

Well anyways, I figured it would be a good medium to tell you about my new GUI development community: GUI Station.com. It's been online a couple + months now, but just recently started to kick off.

So...what do we do there? Well, thre are stupid amounts of graphics forums on the net, all dealing with the same stuff over and over again, whether it be wallpapers, signatures, digi-art, you name it. I don't know about you, but I get tired of seeing new communities pop up with literally a board for every style of art, hoping that THEIR site will be the new #1 for all of the interwebz0rz!!!1!1111shift. Not cool... Let's be honest, for mixed media, there's no place better than DA :)

Anyway, amongst my travels in the past couple years, I haven't really found anywhere that was mainly focused on interface/gui design. I did come accross Interface University.com, which was great in its prime. I ended up becoming admin there, but circumstances lead to it having to be shut down.

After IU closed, I felt I wanted to have a bash at starting up my own GUI forums. So I did. I have a heavy passion for interface/skinning and all that jazz, so I figured what's better than starting up something fresh for people just like me ^.^

Sooo, if there are any of you out there that are budding interfacers and feel you just can't cope with any other comment on your shiny new interface from somebody that knows naff-all about interface design, but is l33t at signatures, trying to tell you that you've got it all wrong, then come join us at GUI Station! :D Not a signature whore in sight :) LOL, but seriously, we do take pride in GUI and you'll get feedback from like-minded enthusiasts, and they're a friendly bunch too. Aaanyways, thanks for reading peoples, hope to see you over there :)

Hi Lance :)

I ran through your gallery today, and I really really really love your Xion skins! You're extremely talented with them! I like making skins like yours, but none of them are as good...

(Added you to my DeviantWATCH) :)

Thanks! Keep up the awesome work! :D
