Or do you know Jan Mankes painting techniques? I'm having a devil of a time finding out what colors this Dutch artist's palette consisted of.

Also, can I just say---wow these paint fumes are pretty intense! This might not actually be a healthy thing to do, sitting in this building, just me and these intense paint fumes. Phew!

I joined deviantART in September 2002, was appointed Shoutbox Moderator in March 2004 and became part of general volunteer support in May of that year, gaining volunteer admin status that August. I moderated in dAmn through its beta stages at a time when I was the only chat moderator. When the Community Development team formed, I assisted them until August of 2005.

In August 2005, I became a part of the Artist Relations team and my energies and attention were focused on the Traditional Gallery where my partners in crime were `De-Profundis, `zeruch, and !alchemism. That was fun and lasted about a year or two until I was done.

That's my back story. It is probably through this volunteer service that I received the senior denotation.
Now, what are these badge thingies?

This is an honor getting a premium from you! Thank you so so so much! You shouldn't have XD I guess I have to treat you as a god now hehehe. Omg where should I begin with this XD.
I’ll definitely help you out with these badges :3 by the way Llamas do get pretty addicting.

Don't sweat it, just take it as a handy opportunity to see if you like premium. :)
And yeah what is the deal with the badges? I don't understand what they mean, what they're for or anything? Why do people give each other badges? What is the social subtext here? I'm worried I'm making gaffes left and right when I don't respond in any way to the present of a badge.

Thank you again :3 I’ll see how creative I can get with this premium.
I guess... some people like me like to treat badges as a game on DA. I never really put much though into why I like badges but to think about it, now it seems like a must have thing to collect and show off.
The most common badges are the llamas, cakes, paranoia, Whiskers, Priv, birthdAy '10, BlackBerry (new) and the Greatest Pelican In The World.
More information about different badges in this group [link].
I started llama trading because I got bored. I gave llamas to random people which was quite fun cause I also got to explore and in some way connect with randoms in the DA community.
But I guess now I just wana get as many llamas as I can to reach that golden llama >:D Once I get golden llama (or if I get sick of llamas) I'll then collect the cakes LOL.
Most of the times llamas are temporary. I guess a nice way to respond is to give a llama back hehe. Llamas ain’t much of a big fuss but returning one is like a acknowledgement to the gift.
Something like cakes is an honor. I haven't received a cake yet. But knowing that if someone has spend a few 80 points for your own cake is pretty special :3
I see you have a Former Volunteer badge. You so lucky! I would bow to you and your superior badge XD.
