From now on, I dedicate a little corner of my journals to share with the rest of :da: some really good artists with quite impressive and imaginative artwork. There are a lot of deviants who really deserve recognition since as the community grows, recognizing becomes more difficult in a such huge and beautiful ocean of art.

is definitely one of them, just a peek into his gallery and then a look at the amount of the comments and faves on his indeed high quality works will prove me right.

is yet another deviant with fabulous talent, her gallery is worth a visit

is a skillful traditional artist, quenching the thirst for touchable artwork made with traditional means.

has been a friend since back in 2002 from the ek forums. I had noticed her incredible talent back in those days, she is indeed a very good artist and her works just don't deserve to stay unnoticed

is a young Slovenian photographer with quite creative works. his gallery is full of creative stuffs worth a check

Latest Additions

Sooo, I've been quite busy today and came across some real talents whose art one shouldn't miss out on, here we go:

Photography

His work is gorgeous and he is mastering the art of emotive portraits in particular where he establishes a direct communication between each individual work and their audience. His captures have loads of stories to tell.

For anyone who might tend to believe that I'm pissed or would leave deviantART out of sheer frustration or anything, I'm sorry I'll have to prove you wrong.

I am not leaving deviantART or taking down any of my artwork unlike some people, incapable of making a distinction between the support to a friend in the need and blaming the community itself as a whole without spending any deep thought over it, tend to believe.

I will stay at home unless I become evicted for not paying the rent ahahaha

Aside from the joke, supporting a person who has spent huge efforts for this place over the years and who has founded it as well as wondering about reasons as to the entire turmoil and quite naturally, demanding answers should not be seen in line with frustration against the community itself and should also not legalize flaming administrators and using bad language on their userpages like I unfortunately had to observe the past couple of days.

Such behavior will result in nothing but disrespect to yourselves, your personality and being. Or don't you respect your own self at the first place?

Listening to: Dark Throne - In Honor of Thy Name
Reading: Loyalty and Friendship

// i woke up into a very very odd day this morning, no, I actually was awake over the night to catch some deadline of some project and landed in dA for whatever coffee break and it took me a couple of hours to figure out what was rolling on. still, i cannot say i entirely did figure it out.

all i can say though, is that we are in the urgent need of keeping cool as °jark tried to sum up in his most recent journal. i have read about people making calls to the current administrators, threatening them, since this community consists of a wide variety of age ranges, here sure are plenty of us to act with the everlasting fire of the young and inexperienced.

i am 37 years of age and have quite a life behind, all i can recommend you folks is really to keep cool until the moment where the current administration will open up the box of information, and why?

here we go:

deviantart, inc., as the logo and header of the website pretty clearly states, is an incorporated body. an incorporation is, i don't know about the US laws of commerce but here in my country, it is among the largest commercial entity status'. incorporations have, say, like their name indicates, a main contract of incorporation that governs the corporation structure, activity, position of the members of the board of directors, the board of associates, the management, etcettera and which consists of a huge bundle of articles and clauses legally binding all shareholders and their affiliates.

such contracts also have an article setting forth the rules of confidentiality, which legally put a heavy burden on any party that would violate it. in some cases, such article remains in force for a lifetime, even after the dissolution of the company itself. its like an oath of silence for a life time. i doubt this will be the case in deviantart though.

until such time, the admins decide to make public an adequately clear summary of the current events, i would second °jark and follow his recommendations, which indeed form the best course of action. not only because jark is a beloved friend, the very first person to make deviantart what it is, but also for the sake of not getting things more complex than they already are.



now, to the section of the humanoid side of feelings. yes, like `liquify is pouring her real feelings throughout the site, just like she is showing her devotion, many of us not only love this place, but see it as our second home. i for one have been around for about 3,5 years so far, yet, i am one of the newest community members compared to those folks who were around right at the foundation. the community has become somewhat a living organism, it's truly alive. these are not only codes or pixels anymore. i assure all of you, me too is impatiently waiting for a reasonable explanation as to the current status. and me too is hoping for a solution that would indeed result in °jark's continued administration, membership and above all, friendship. //

Listening to: Katatonia - Last Fair Deal Gone Down /Entire Album

It has become a ritual so far. Mum's gall bladder keeps thinkin' that it is not an organ, but a mine operator instead, it keeps producing stones 'n calculus over and over and this, on an annual basis, while the smallest one is approx. 10 mm's (gawd!), happens to plug up the section between the gland and making her scream with pain.

I don't remember the amount of times we had to hurry her up to the emergency, everytime the docs either fix her up and send her home or keep her at the hospital for min. 10 days (just let's make a simple calculation, it's the 3rd time mum's kept at the hospital, last year she had to stay there 2x of then days each, soooo she's going to celebrate her 30th day in total which is equivalent to a fuckin month) instead of planning a surgery to take out the fucked up gall bladder because anaesthesia apparently would be too riskful for someone as her, having asthma. Bottles o' serum dance around her of course, no food, yes no food but she is fed up with this shit already and wants to take whatever risk a surgery offers. I, personally would... err... dunno. It definitely is a sensitive issue, but watching her suffer everytime and thinking of the possible future risks (cancer etc.) this disease might cause unless a surgery is made is a more sensitive issue. She is stuck. The entire family is =/

God save the queen, yeshhhh..

Since I am not a pageview whore, I must say that I am exceedingly disturbed by the fact that there are so many visitors who boost up the pagecount out of pure curiosity, yet do not drop a single comment on any of my work, nor make any remark. Do not misunderstand, I'm not asking for comments at all, they'd come anyway if my works deserved it. The only thing which is extremely annoying is simply statistical; who the hell are these couple o' thousand people if they are not from dA itself? And where on earth have I promoted my page that successfully? Nowhere as far as I know.

she's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
she's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe?
ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her

(Sings about me here, ooh yea)

you say he's a faggot, do you want to kick in his brain?
you say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to your stomach?
you say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same?
faggot, faggot, do you hate him
cause he's pieces of you?

(Who the fuck cares if he's or not a fag)

you say he's a jew, does it mean that he's tight?
you say he's a jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
you say he's a jew, he'll never wear that funny hat again.
you say he's a jew as though being born were a sin.
oh jew, oh jew, do you hate him
cause he's pieces of you?

(And I'm a Turk so what? He's American, she's French, he's German, she's Japanese, who really cares?)
