The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out on the 1st of every month to one trully outstanding deviant.

In this very special edition of Recognizing Deviousness, we are also celebrating 4 years in which Alex has been a volunteer on the MN@ Team. Known affectionately as Narfy or Narf, @Narfmaster has been a member of the Volunteer MN@ Team since his 18th Birthday, and has quite literally grown up on deviantART.



@Narfmaster has shown above and beyond dedication and passion for the community. Regularly helping out on dAmn and the forums, assisting with featured chats and being an all round positive force in the Volunteer MN@ Team for 4 years has made him an obvious example of true deviousness.



And, if all that wasn't enough, his presence at local devmeets, participation in contests and a general mountain of effort into making the most out of his creative talents have secured him our highest community accolade.



With a never ending supply of positivity and good hearted humour, combined with a selfless caring approach to everything he does, Alex is a role model to us all. It's no April Fool's joke that we award Deviousness of April 2009 to @Narfmaster, congratulations!

A few words about Alex..

From: @diamond281

"Narfy was one of the first people I spoke to on dA. He was really
friendly to me and really helped me out. He was always in the
shoutbox and when I got into dAmn, he was there too! He's has always
lovely to talk and he's really funny too. He's always a delight to be
around on dAmn. Here's to another 4 years as MN@, Alex<3"

"It's hard to know where to begin with Alex, because there's just so
much to say! Alex was one of the first MN@ I ever came into contact
with, and I'm glad because his friendly, helpful and outgoing nature
made me realise what amazing people work here on deviantART. Volunteering
with him has also made me realise just how much he does for the
team behind the scenes; we'd definitely be lost without him.



From @lenawargo

"I haven't know him for long, but he has definitely made me feel
welcome on the team and always manages to make me smile, even if it's
just from a silly hello."

From $Heidi

True deviants are those who uphold, maintain, and promote the community spirit of deviantART. As a four year MN@ veteran, @Narfmaster both meets and exceeds those qualifications -- qualifying him as truly deviant.


From: $Tachy-on

"Alex was on the MN@ Volunteer Team when I joined the team way back in
Oct 2006. I remember how helpful and welcoming Alex was to me, and
really he was a rock on the team even back then. A lot of changes
have happened to the MN@ Team since then, people have come and people
have gone, but Alex has hung in there and I'm very grateful to him for
that. Alex is an awesome volunteer and an awesome person, and
everyone that has come into contact with him over the years knows
that. Congratulations Alex - you really deserve this. "

Congratulations!!
