Really.

Some of you may have noticed either from checking out my badges or from looking at the right side of my page that I give out a lot of llamas.  It's true, I do.

You may also notice my proclamation that "giving llamas is my art."  And along with other things, it is.

You see, giving llamas is art because I'm doing it solely to see people's reactions. I don't ask for llamas in return, for points, or for anything else from the recipient.  Most of the llamas I give are done using the "Random Deviant" function; the rest are friends of the people I llama, or art on the front page that catches my eye. I give a llama to the person regardless of if they have any art, specifically request not to have llamas, or if I think their site just rocks. Everyone qualifies.

This leads to a lot of different reactions. I get a lot of "thanks" replies, I get a bunch of returned llamas (about 20%), and some puzzled "Why" or "How did you find me" messages. There are a lot of people who crack jokes or say something more unique.  And, I even get the very occasional hostile reply.

For each of these replies, I have stirred up enough curiosity/happiness/anger/etc. to get a reply. Some people then look at my stuff and comment more (or ask about my byline ;) )

My art of llama giving is a vehicle to get people to look, wonder and react. For the most part I consider it a success.

If I was so inclined, I'd put something here.
