I haven't touched Deviant Art in a while, and it seems like maybe I should for my friends that actually still use this thing. Its been a long year, filled with a lot of drama and happiness. I can't complain. From all the crap that happened. I got back and experienced a lot of things that are helping me become a better person as well as artist. I'd have to say that this year is by far the post productive and interesting and I couldn't be happier with the results. In short....here's bit of what happen....

1. broke up with my ex
2. Went out on St.Patties Day with my pookie and discovered the awesomeness that is the
Velcro Pygmies
3. Went to Wrestlemania XXV and Raw
4. Realized that the love of my life was one of my best friends
5. Went on a short-lived Road Trip with my best bud John.
6. Went to Disneyland for the first time in my life
7. Visited Theresa and Ben at the military base in 29 Palms
8. Watched my "Cow" Meagan get married.
9. Went on the greatest Road Trip ever with: Izzy, Mike, John, Jackie, Josh to Las Vegas/San
Diego.
10.Got wasted for the first time in my life in SD thanks to Ale.
11. Came back and mourned for my baby Taz.
12. Went to see Def Leppard at CWP
13. Went and saw Incubus at CWP about a week and a half later
14. Got the Strippers Lie website up and running.
15. Had the greatest BDay every with my boyfriend, bf Meg, and family. Then a great night with my friends over at Sherlocks with my boys Strippers Lie.

Although this partially me and my roomies fault for not paying it (due to the lack of money we have) it's still not the best position in the world. I had just received an email earlier from a contractor who wanted me to do some work for him, and it figured that comcast would decide the day after I emailed this man that they would cut me off. I spent half my time at the school trying to get back with him and the other half calling my boyfriend at work and asking him to check my email and see if I had gotten any responses. Then that SOB hurricane IKE hit, knocked out my electricity and water, making me retreat to my hometown of Port Lavaca where internet is few and far between. I'm still out of electricity and the only way I'm getting internet now is cause I'm staying over at a friends house, until they decide to take their happy asses to my house and turn on the electricity.

Until then who knows what's going down...

Classic in the way you won't believe it. If you haven't read it-PLEASE DO! Anyone who's planning on seeing the movie should do it. Its an amazing read!!!

PICK IT UP!

We'll miss you Mike!



At the moment I am not content, I am extremely saddened by this. So ignore the mood-con.

Its ridiculous that not even our own creations can be considered ours without use of the all mighty dollar. this is completely idiotic!!

Mind Your Business
You Will Lose All The Rights to Your Own Art
Mark Simon

As you know, I usually handle the subjects in my articles with a sense of humor. That is not the case this month. I find nothing funny about the new Orphan Works legislation that is before Congress.

In fact, it PISSES ME OFF!

As an artist, you have to read this article or you could lose everything you’ve ever created!

An Orphaned Work is any creative work of art where the artist or copyright owner has released their copyright, whether on purpose, by passage of time or by lack of proper registration. Like when parents give up their child to be an orphan, you can give up ownership in your creative work to be an orphan for others to use without your permission.

If you don’t like to read long articles, you will miss incredibly important information that will affect the rest of your career as an artist. You should at least skip to the end to find the link for a fantastic interview with the Illustrators Partnership about how you are about to lose ownership of your own artwork.

Currently, you don’t have to register your artwork to own the copyright. You own a copyright as soon as you create something. International law also supports this. Right now, registration allows you to sue for damages, in addition to fair value.

What makes me so MAD about this new legislation is that it legalized THEFT! The only people who benefit from this are those who want to make use of our creative works without paying for them, or from large companies who will run the new private copyright registries.

These registries are companies that you would be forced to pay to register every single image, photo, sketch or creative work.

It is currently against international law to coerce people to register their work for copyright because there are so many inherent problems with it. But because big business, like Bill Gates, can push through laws in the United States, our country is about to break with the rest of the world, again, and take your rights away.

With the tens of millions of photos and pieces of artwork created each year, the bounty for forcing everyone to pay a registration fee would be enormous. We lose our rights and our creations, and someone else makes money at our expense.

This includes every sketch, painting, photo, sculpture, drawing, video, song and every other type of creative endeavor. All of it is at risk!

If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we’ve created over the past 34 years unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won’t successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free.

In short, if Congress passes this law, YOU WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR OWN CREATIONS!

Why is this allowed to happen? APATHY and MONEY.

Artists have apathy and corporations have money.

We need to be heard in order to protect our incomes, our creations and our careers. GET OFF YOUR ASS!

That means writing letters to our congressmen and representatives. That means voicing your opinion about how we need copyright protection, as we’ve had since 1976, that protects everything we create from the moment we create it. Currently, your work is copyrighted as soon as it’s created, whether you register it or not. This is the case around the world.

However, an Orphan Works bill is also in the works in Europe. I was speaking recently with Roger Dean, the famed artist of the YES album covers, and he is greatly concerned with what will happen if Orphan Works bills become law. “This will devastate the livelihood of artist, photographers and designers in a number of ways.”

Dean continues, “That at the behest of a few hugely rich corporations who got rich by selling art that they paid no part in the making of, the U.S. and U.K. governments are changing the copyright laws to protect the infringer instead of the creator. This is unjust, culturally destructive and commercial lunacy. This will not just hurt millions of artists around the world.”

“On the other side of the coin,” Dean argues, “what argument will a U.S. court have with a Chinese company that insists it did its research in China and found nothing? If the cost of this is onerous for a U.S. based artist, what will it be like for artists and small businesses in emergent economies... ]]> ~tuplicka8785 http://tuplicka8785.deviantart.com/journal/17673137/ http://tuplicka8785.deviantart.com/journal/17673137/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:03:34 PDT

Quiet honestly that's about the stupidest thing in the world. If the person that posts that pic sees, I have no problem going to their house and slapping them in the face for this unneccesary post. Put it on your myspace, put it on your Facebook, or whatever the hell websites you have with over a gazillion friends, cause you're trying to boost your self esteem...just keep that off deviant. That's not art...seriously

Its early, so please excuse my need to rant.
