I usually hit the "Gallery" button, but I've used all methods in the past. I finally settled on the menu option, because it never moves.

Interesting question. I want to see the whole gallery, learn about the artist better instead of just seeing the best or new. After I hit "Gallery" on the artist's page, I hit "browse" and you'll be able to see the "new to old" order and everything that's in folders, rather then looking at folders at a time.

I normally just browse the whole gallery if its a really good artist, such as yourself

If it looks like an artist who has enough pageviews already I hit "view gallery" near the deviation on purpose

Otherwise I just click their name or avatar and do it the conventional way

Depends on how I find them.
If I'm on their main page, it's the Gallery tab.
If it's via the front page, favorites, a search or any other system where I'm looking at thumbs, I click on the image then click on 'gallery' there.
Which means most of the time, it's the second.
