We've got a kicking deviant for our feature this mont, and with no further ado, here it is!

Username: Death-by-Romance
Name: Steven
Where are you from? I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am at college in New York City right now.
Where are you headed? I hope to live in NYC for much of my life, being a photographer amongst other things.

In a nutshell, who are you? I am a college student who is very passionate about all forms of art and wants to be a part of almost all of them.
What do you do beyond deviantArt? I am a camp counselor in the summer, I've recently grown a new love of reading, and trying to manage a personal website.
What are some little-known or random facts about you? I used to do track and field and my longest long jump was 18'2". I probably could have gotten better but I had to quit.

Art galleries you submit to: A lot...photography, digital art, poetry, prose, vector art. I think that's it for now, but I'm sure I'll venture into others later.
Art gallery and category you submit to most often: Photography
Tools of the trade: Nikon D80, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, charcoal sometimes, pencil sometimes
Show me three deviations from your gallery that best illustrate who you are: [link] [link] [link]
What motivates or inspires you? It sounds a little lame, but trying to be creative motivates me. Seeing other people's creative works helps to inspire my creativity as well.

How did you get started with the type of art(s) that you do? I took a photography course in high school, and in that class we did photomanipulation as well. I got into that
Who are your favourite artists or inspirations in this area? by far my favorite and most influential deviant is *incredi . You guys REALLY need to check her out. Her photography is truly incredible.
How did you find out about deviantArt? I found out through a friend in high school.
Are you involved in any clubs or projects in the community? If so, which ones and why? I am part of the Nikonist group because I have a Nikon. I was/am part of some poetry groups, I have to figure out which ones, but so I can have my poetry read and read some other good poetry.
Do you know any of the deviants on dA outside of the site? I know a few. Most of them go or went to my high school.

What are your music habits? Right now I am utterly addicted to Muse! I absolutely love them. I like pretty much every type of music though I don't like rap and country so much, and I really don't like heavy metal. I am pretty much open to everything else.
TV? I don't watch TV, but when I do it's Discovery Channel. I love Mythbusters, How it's made, and Dirty Jobs
Movies? There will be Blood!!!! No Country for Old Men, Across the Universe, that's all I can think of right now.

Say you're in charge of dA for a day. What would you do? I would make everybody try a doing some type of art that they've never done before. You gain much more respect for the rest of the community that way, and may even learn to love it!
Is there anything you'd change? I wish the literature writers were much more respected and noticed on dA. That's what *mode-de-vie and I are trying to do right now. Trying to get them more credit.
