FAN FRIDAY: Meet the Discord Mods Edition, Fan Art & Graduation Shout-outs!

If you're part of our discord, you may have run into a few of our mods! Today, we get a chance to catch up with Des...

RA: How long have you been an RA discord mod?

Just a little over a year now, if I remember correctly it was the beginning of April 2022 that I was asked if I would like to join the team as a moderator.

RA: What connected you to RA?

The first time I heard an RA song I didn't immediately love it, but as the days went by and I heard more and more the songs kinda grew with me and I started to like them more and more until Rare Americans relieved my previous favourite band - the band that was the reason I even got to know RA - of their title. Since then RA's been my favourite band on and off, but the only band consistently being a contender for the title and placing top ranks.

RA: If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

There are so many good answers to this question, but I think I'd have to go with David Tennant. He's my favourite actor by far and I think it would be quite interesting to be in his shoes for a day.

RA: What is your favourite RA song and why?

I can't answer this question easily, since I do like a lot of songs and I never really consider anything my absolute favourite. There have only been a few times that I thought of a certain song to be my favourite for some time. I remember It Was You being it for some time, as well as Full Moon. Two Lives, Falling Down and Missing Targets have been it, too. But if I had to decide on one right now, I'd probably go with Up, Up & Away. I really like the song and the story behind it is just incredible, rest in peace Skyking.

don’t have much to say about this lol, just happy that this one turned out better than the previous one i would put said previous one in this post but i dont have access to the original file due to my laptop currently being kinda broken lol, but if you wanna see it you can scroll down for a little bit til you find it (sticks out like a sore thumb considering it’s bright red so it shouldn’t take you too long!) —— #art #digitalart #fanart #procreate #procreateart #rareamericans #rareamericansfanart”

Since i went to the concert i just wanted to draw @rareamericans but Duran really captured my eyes, the energy that radiates from him is simply contagious 😁 I also practiced my cartoon style a little, it was a challenge but i made it! Hope you all like this one as much as i do 🥰 #rareamericans #rareamericansfanart #duranfanart #music #rareamericansart #rareamericansband #fanart #drummer #cartoon #cartoonstyle #artstyle #ink #watercolor #pen #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #traditionalartist #art #artwork #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsupport #colorful”
