Over a thousand notes, and thousands and thousands of messages, all ask the same question. ARE YOU COMING TO MY CITY?????

The direct answer is, we're visiting deviantART's top 12 cities during the World Tour as reported by Google Analytics. In no particular order, we've already visited Sydney, Singapore, Warsaw, Istanbul and we're now in Berlin. We are soon to visit Paris, London and New York. We will visit Los Angeles since it is our 3rd largest city and our home. That's 9. Leaving space for a city in Canada, one city in Central America, and one city in South America.

Why aren't you visiting MY city!!??!!??

We appreciate deviants all over the world and especially the wishes of many of you in your heart of hearts that we come to your city.

Of course, there are thousands of cities on the planet Earth, and this trip is designed to frequent the top 12 most visited cities to deviantART. This excludes millions of deviants from direct participation. By this we, of course, do not mean any disrespect; quite the contrary.

This World Tour is a part of a community plight towards recognizing the International nature of the worlds largest art community, and the deep meaning of being together as one large culture of artists for the first time in human history. Every culture, every country and every deviant wins, even if it is only by watching the #hq blog for inspiring photographs to see what we collectively look like together, for the first time on this scale. And if you don't mind my saying, we look really really good.

So lets all put our best foot forward here, because if you really think about it we are visiting you. In fact we're visiting everyday in your culture. The one that is right here at deviantART. I'm a person, real to life, not some username, and the same is true of you. I care deeply as a deviant about other deviants, meeting thousands of members in person has added many years worth of fuel to this flame. That is how we do it and how we should do it here at deviantART. Dive in. Cultivate your local deviantMEET culture. And participate. It is so much more rewarding that you might imagine. Trust.

$Heidi and I will see you in your city one day we surely hope. Maybe not on this trip. And that is my loss and $Heidi's as much as it is yours.

and

with cheers to the wonderful community here at deviantART.
