Just an art lover

There has been some negative comments lately and I would like to respond to them. It seems a lot of artists here would rather a deviantart with only artists and no supporters. As a supporter I'm only here as an act of love towards artistic works and development. I am not evil.
I may not be able to draw or paint as beautifully as so many of you can, but I contribute in my own way via commissioning artists when I have the funds to do so, seeking requests when I'm indulged (<3) and by supporting and promoting the great talents residing here on DeviantArt.
Hate me if you like, but I'm happy with what I am and I'll continue to love you all. :3

Please avoid leaving messages in my comments. NOTE ME INSTEAD! Easier to keep up with things that way!

I occasionally have enough financial security to validate making some commissions, but from now on I will ALWAYS require the artwork before I pay as I've had one artist steal my money and never deliver the art work. I wont let that happen again. I'll maybe meet you half way and provide half payment on half completion however
