Encourage Communication

I've seen a steady and yet gradual decline of interactions across numerous communities, art and social related alike. So many creative and inspiring things go unnoticed, or only noticed by a few, and rarely commented on.  It's a shame really, because where you find one gem, there are normally many more hidden with these artists.  Communities are about coming together and sharing. Not just in the visual, but in the written as well. Take the time to comment on art that you like, especially if you add it to your favorites. A brief comment of why you appreciate the work is encouraging to the individual who took the time and effort to create it.
