Please fave the news article. How? I hear you ask. Look [here].

This issue’s letter is:

T

The deviant that is being featured and interviewed today is:

^ladygagz

As ^ladygagz cannot interview himself. `TimberClipse has volunteered to interview him!

What does it feel like to be interviewed for your own article ?

Quite awkward, to be honest. Everyone wanted me to interview myself. However, I didn't want to seem a bit "up myself", so I thought it was best to get someone else to interview me.

Hmm. That's a good question. Well, I only really started doing dAr art when I got this account. I started doing stamps a couple years ago, which then, was the only dAr art I was doing. But then I got into suggestions, which, at first, was going to be a one-off thing. My first suggestion was a stamp-module for pages.

~SparkLum (back then, !Commander-Luminaire), inspired me to create stamps, and ever since then, I've been both a stamp maker and lover. <3
With suggestions, I didn't really have any inspirations, I just wanted to show ways that I thought deviantART could improve.

Within the past 6 months, I've really got stuck into dAr. It's really fun making stamps and suggestions. One day I'd like to branch out to scripts and journal skins, I find them to be interesting!

Firstly, anyone who thinks any gallery shouldn't be recognized, is a douche.

dA would have a hard time living without the deviantART Related gallery. Think about it, most of the sub-galleries in the dAr gallery help us identify who we are.

Deviant Stamps: Contain messages which often tell others about who we are and what we believe in.
Deviant IDs: Kinda self-explanatory.
Memes (part of devfun): A majority of these, when answered, tell us alot about each other.
Zines: Zines usually contain some articles, whether they're interviews or whatnot, this again would help us get to know other deviants.

And then there's the Devious Fun, Skins and Scripts (without this gallery, we wouldn't have journal skins! ), Suggestions, DeviantMEETS and LOLFella galleries, these should never be ignored either. The deviantWEAR and Prints sub-gallery is also vital to the deviantART community!

Some of the newer deviants would be doomed without the deviantART Tutorials gallery, there are some wonderful tutorials in there to help newbies (and even older deviants) about features on dA.

Overall this gallery should be valued equally, if not more, than any other gallery present on dA.

10 quick facts about ^ladygagz:
1. I'm 17. Australian. Aries (4th April). Male.
2. I'm left-handed.
3. My identical twin brother is =lightpurge.
4. I'd like to become a GM for the dAr gallery one day.
5. Lady Gaga <3
6. Most of the music I listen to is Japanese music (and no, It's not anime music).
7. I'm very open-minded.
8. I spend about 7 hours on deviantART per day.
9. I just realized my days are practically: 1/3 deviantART, 1/3 Sleeping and 1/3 School.
10. I support equality!

I know that's not one thing, but It's my series, so I can change the rules.

I actually don't remember exactly how I came up with it. But I'll try and tell you how I think it went. Back then, I was really into the games: Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and Final Fantasy XIII. I wanted to join them together somehow, and seeing as one of the characters in FXIII was called Hope, there was clearly a obvious choice as to what my username should be.

So I typed it into the username bar "The-Last-Hope". Username taken. "TheLastHope". Username taken. So I tried "The--Last--Hope", and there you go.

It is the best because I was born on the 4th of the 4th month, 1994. Plus, It's just an awesome number in general.

It was so long ago. I've been interested in art since I could hold a pencil in my hand. I use to draw picture after picture after picture when I was a toddler. Now, not so much.

Stamp-wise; Awesome-sauce people such as ~SparkLum, `stuck-in-suburbia, `PainInTheAssimilated, =Indae, ~impersonalinfo and ~tRiBaLmArKiNgS inspire me quite alot.

Words can not explain. However, for the sake of the interview, I'll try to explain it in words.

Apart from taking up most of my time. It really does help me relax. I've met some really wonderful deviants people; I call them people, because to me, they are alot more than just words on a screen. I truly value them <3

It's also affected my creativity, I've become more creative over the past year. It's quite amazing when I think about it.

It is my second home, most definitely.

I love you dA, don't you ever change... until version 8.

Definitely. _{(Don't know what else to put here )}

I have a PC. However, I'm neutral as to which is better.

I'll use inspire for the millionth time and say that `PurpelBlur inspired me to start this series. I've always wanted to do an interview series. Originally, I started with the idea of only interviewing non-premium users, but I scratched that idea after a few articles.

On February 19th, I decided. Why not combine interviews with an ABCs series? So then I came up with "The ABCs Of Deviants", and now this is what you see today. I'm quite happy with how popular the series got quite quickly, especially with the mountain loads of suggestions I've gotten.

I often watch Shane Dawson, iJustine, and other videos too.

Lastly, I really want to thank `TimberClipse for interviewing me!
