I'm sure that many of you have seen, talked to, or at least heard of some one who has become a large member of the DeviantArt community here, *Lindowyn. You probably know her better as *lindowyn-stock as in past months the stock account she has created has gained wild popularity, just recently reaching the 30K pageview mark and quickly approaching the 31K pageview mark. And today marks her 25th birthday! So lets all take just a little bit of time out of our busy schedules to celebrate it with her!

*Lindowyn has been a member of the DeviantArt community for around three years now, first under her general art and photography account since 2004 and secondly under her stock account since September of last year where she offers a highly diverse and fun range of different model stock. She earned her first Daily Deviation on her stock account just a month after and things skyrocketed from there.

A valued member of the community, *Lindowyn has become fast friends with numerous people here on DeviantArt as well as rising to the top of the stockers list. She is on the site almost everday where she gives several favs and comments, helping people with tips and serving as an inspiration to many. She has taken a vested interest in the running of the galleries here and has been working to think of ways to make things run better and more smoothly. She is a member of several clubs as well a contributor to *Amarli-stock, a new stock collaboration of three photographers specializing in background stock photography work (the other two photographers being myself and *Amazonofexeter). She has also just recently launched a brand new club with myself, *TribeOfCelts, in hopes to bring a deeper understanding and appreciation of celtic art to the community.

*Lindowyn is a great person, a strong woman, and a great friend to all those who know her. She is always willing to help and contribute where she can to make DeviantArt a better place. She helps in small ways by doing such things as suggesting Daily Deviations, participating in contests, and many times contributing prizes for other people's contest. She also enjoys featuring other deviants in her own journal. But she also helps in larger ways. You may have heard, or even participated in yourself, the virtual candlelight visual she held for !untodarkness (who is now working with *Dying-Soul) who fell upon some desperate times. She also was more than willing to help *lucias-tears raise funds when she found herself unable to even buy a loaf a bread. Both of these members of the community are now doing better I am pleased to say.

So now that we have mentioned just some of the ways that she has helped out her community, lets all take a moment to thank her and show her how her continued support and love is appreciated by all.

Happy Birthday *Lindowyn!
