Deviation
From 2008 to 2010 I maintained an active DeviantArt presence. I posted
hundreds of "deviations" (artworks), but I also built community,
connection, and meaning with the other users there. DA was my first real
taste of social media, with all its good and ill. The images here are
merely the works I posted, they are divorced from the social likes and
comments that gave them significance to me at the time.
DeviantART required all works have a unique title and description, a
requirement that I found endlessly annoying and did not take seriously.
Most of the titles are snippets of lyrics I was listening to at the
time.
