Hello.  I'm Dan.  I draw things.  Sometimes for money.  Some of you may remember I used to post here somewhat frequently.  And then everything changed when Facebook , tumblr, twitter, instagram and so on become the place you could just drop a pic and go.  And for awhile, it was awesome.  Instagram, alone, put me in touch with a LOT of people, both new and people I've admired for the longest time.

There's a "but" coming.....Tumblr got scared and banned all nudity....Facebook/Instagram screwed with their posting algorithms to point people to the high-traffic earners and away from the every-day artist or those who may not have a huge following.  Even people with substantial followings have noticed their traffic severely cut.  So perhaps, the social media honeymoon is over.

So maybe this will be a Deviant Art renaissance?  I haven't logged in here for the longest time but there's all the art people who have posted and I didn't have to surf and scroll to find it.  It could be time to look at this place again with fresh eyes.

I'm still elsewhere in other communities too:

The Reminder

1 min read
So, I still post here once in a blue moon, but really only stuff I feel like showing and even then...I may not even remember D/A exists.  I apologize for that and certainly appreciate those of you who still come to my DA page, but like a lot of artists, I tend to stick to wherever I can post quick and move on.

Also, if you read this far, ***I DO NOT ANSWER NOTES***

***If you need to contact me, do so via dan (at) danhowardart (dot) com****  or any of the links below


You can see my work elsewhere on the internets:

Once in awhile, I get notes asking about work, commissions, etc. I don't update D/A as much as I used to. I'm better reached via email (dan (at) danhowardart -dot- com)  Also it's so much easier these days to just drop an image and go in other places.    Insisting I talk to you via D/A notes and not email is not going to go over well. 

I'm still very active on these other sites, and you can check me out at the links below!

No, I'm afraid I don't update D/A as much as I used to.   It's so much easier these days to just drop an image and go.
