Raighne Awarded Daily Deviation

On July 6 Raighne's drawing Perky at Perkins was awarded a Daily Deviation from deviantArt.com. According to deviantArt "a small assortment of submissions is chosen each day by a select group of staff members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large."

DeviantArt gallery director Joseph Arruda chose Perky at Perkins. He writes, "I see influences like Dave McKean, Bill Sienkiewicz and George Pratt, but presented in a direction that is its own. The lush uses of gray tones to add depth to image is a highly successful adventure."

Members from the dA community added their feedback as well. DeviantArt artist and UK resident Jack Teagle says, "The signs that it's digital are very subtle, and that's the great thing about this. Great line, and the intensity backs off perfectly for the background." dA artist Nancy from Portugal says, "Quite messy, I must say I like this."
