This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
There are some days when I get a bit ahead of myself and think, "You know, with enough practice and determination, maybe one day I'll be able to make a living with my artwork."
And then I look at Eddy Barrows and go, "Yeah...nevermind."

I've always loved to draw but never had any formal training, so it's just a hobby--but it's one of my favorites. Unfortunately 99% of the time it's only sketches, and I rarely have the time to devote to a finished piece.
I've always had a love for comics and when I was in my early teens I got pretty heavy into anime. Now I'm back on the comics path and have really gotten into DC, although when I was younger I preferred Marvel.
If you're interested in checking out some of the motion graphics I have created, check out my demo reel here: [link]

Hey, my friend! How are you doing? Haven't talked to you in quite a while! How are things going in your new job? Man, for the past few months, I've felt like work has pretty much taken over my life...such a shame! I hope you are alright, buddy!
Hey, thanks Jeff! Actually, Jela's Phat Phibs isn't my website--I was just hired to create the artwork for it. The owner is a friend of mine though so I was happy to help. I wasn't really a fan of reptiles beforehand, but after creating the art and learning about different types of frogs and lizards, I've definitely become a lot more interested.
If you like the artwork, there's a Store section on the site where you can order a T-shirt with a Phat Phib or a Badass Beardie on it. Check it out if you're interested!
Go for it dude! I have one of the tshirts and they're really comfortable. High-quality stuff for sure. Here's an unboxing video if you'd like to see one in more detail: [link]
