So - thanks to everyone who's been messaging me, fav'd some of my work, or otherwise tried to interact with my empty shell of a DA existence. It's what keeps me coming back instead of just closing the account.

I'll get some new stuff up soon - I've got a bit of a project happening at the moment which can be found at: [link] and I plan to get some more serious writing completed in the not too distant future.

I'd also like to congratulate ~logey for getting a book together and published! Congratulations! Everyone should go and buy it - [link]

Toodle-oo! ]]> ~bananafish http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/6104793/ http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/6104793/ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 18:50:54 PDT
But over time, I've dropped in and out of dA. I've at times been disgusted with the censorship that occurs here, and have watched several friends get banned, and then get banned again, and not for doing something pointless, but for doing exactly what so many of us do; throw our thoughts, feelings, and heart on the table for the anonymous arm of the net whose comments we heed, to judge, and to provide input. To validate what we might think is worthless. I have never stood by these bans, and will never do so. I do not like the fact that dA has been getting more and more commercial with every one of my reappearances; it drives artists who write or submit controversial topics either away, or towards self censorship in case of being slapped about by an admin. It never used to be like that.

The icing on the cake however, has been what's just happened to Jark. I think it's a symptom of what's been going on in the background for a long time, and I think it's about time we saw an end to this sort of bullshit. Although, we have no control over this given that unlike Angelo, we have no ownership of this site.

But we do have some power, and I urge all dA artists who give a shit about the community and wish it to remain, to partipate in the August 7 protest of only posting yellow of Jark related submissions, and making Angelo know he's not particularly welcome. In addition to this, I think that we must support the staff such as matteo in setting up an alternative to dA; dA as it was intended, and to encourage other staff to follow in these footsteps.

When this becomes an all user pay site, as it most definately shouldn't, then I'll be gone, and so will a lot of artists who are actually worth looking at. The community will be gone, and those who are left will have to endure the ongoing commercialisation of the site. That might be fine to some users, but to me, it sucks the essence of what dA is all about.

Staff! I emplore you to overthrow Angelo, or to create an alternative while it's still possible!

By the way, the new Harry Potter book is quite good.


In Solidarity,
Jodie. ]]> ~bananafish http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/5882288/ http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/5882288/ Sat, 09 Jul 2005 02:00:03 PDT
With any luck I'll have some writing, and probably some photography to share with you all again soon.

It's great getting around to reviewing all your galleries again... it's been a long time, and interesting to catch up with all the changes.

I'm putting together a project, Unzine. ([link]) Check it out if you have time I'm doing a call out for issue one, requesting imagery of music, politics, activism, etc. Got something you think we'd like? Let me know! Worldwide submissions welcomed!

Deviant of the week:

Track of the week: forget about him, i`m mint - mclusky
"everyone i leave seems to get away
and everywhere i go i want to travel by rickshaw"

Art of the week: Sketching in ink. Expect to see some trials in my gallery shortly

Not so much triumphant, but a return none the less.

One year of nothing particularly creative, one year of work, one year of people, one year of pie.

It's spring, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling alive, and I'm back.

And more ambitious than ever.

On the path to recruit a band of merry misfits... local, global. Ask me how.

Watch out! ]]> ~bananafish http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/949976/ http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/949976/ Tue, 15 Jul 2003 22:10:35 PDT
Anyhow, another promisory note as to my commenting again, that is, I'll get back to it shortly.

Start a new job next week, so things are a little busy. Been depressed with my current job, so I've pretty much spent the previous month drunk. Like I need an excuse.

So many things that should be happening quickly. But slowly which is frustrating. ]]> ~bananafish http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/702095/ http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/702095/ Thu, 08 May 2003 16:21:01 PDT
Well, I'm back from NY now, and all I can really say is that I had a damned good time there! Well worth every cent, and I'll be going back in October for sure.

So very very much alcohol! And photos! And more alcohol! And work It's horrible to be back, but it's given me a lot of ideas. I'm starting script writing again, which is nice, since I have one of my clearest ideas yet for a script. Should be good

Anyhow, time for me to start sorting photos and whatnot!


Cheers!
Me. ]]> ~bananafish http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/563412/ http://bananafish.deviantart.com/journal/563412/ Sun, 23 Mar 2003 21:25:01 PST



Ms Showna? Where for art thou, Ms Showna?

check these people out... their work amuses/entertains/disgusts/inspires me...




Song of the day: Spiderbait - Shazam!

A small note: Banner painting is fun... banner hang-upping is not. Especially if all your comrades are scared of heights. Hmm... still, it's fun enough, and you get to make fun of people called Mark. Which in itself is good enough reason, really.

April the 6th... you know what I do? I fly to NY! Woohoo! So, lets say you live in NY, and you know an Aussie who's visiting, what yould you like the Aussie to bring you as a gift? Because there's a lot of NY'ers I need to thank for a number of reasons (accomodating me for starters), and I'm fresh out of ideas.


Until next time!


Stay flammable,
Me.

Welly welly well well!

After a short burst of writing goodness, or possibly writing badness, I'm about to get back to photos. Oh, swing this way, swing that way, what next is hard to say! Maybe I should start painting? I'd call it 'post-retro-anti-capitalist-outlaw-genre-reminiscent-of-the-pyromaniac-e ra-art" In other words, it would be flaming stick figures. I think I'll sell it to latte sipping sidewalk sitting wankers.

I'll make a fortune
.
.

maybe.

Thanks all for your comments, I'm nothing without flattery & advice, and quite possibly nothing with it! teehehe!

Everybody like Oranges. Okay...shuttup me.

Oh boy, I can see I'm going to replace this journal pretty damn quickly.

Although, I have a favour to ask of all you guys... I need some cunning plans! You see, I have this boss I'm not too fond of, and frankly, something needs to be done, to save all the innocent workers! Canive, plan and burn the midnight oil. Take out all your anger on this one, and send it to me! 'tis an emergency!

whiteazaleas (if I knew how to link to people, I'd link to you) inspired my song of the day today, Green Day's J.A.R. It's a song that make me think, and reminds me of some of the people I've know, dead & alive.

Thank you everybody for the comments, they really do help, and are much appreciated!

Keeping it stupid,
Sincerely,
Me.
