What's what? Is it art?

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 1, 2008, 4:38 PM
Words to the wise:
Heyy! A new layout for the journal! This layout goes as complete thanks to Claire Jones... Beautiful work!


Alright. Here's my little rant, so bear with me...

Ok so this is DeviantArt.. Not Penthouse Forum. Incase many of you have yet to realize.. when posting things on here, it is likely to be viewed by people of ALL ages, and I have a few ticks to knock off.
First, What's the difference between art and porn? I'll tell you the difference.. One you post in a museum... the other you post in Playboy. Big difference, right? I was just viewing a few random pieces around dA, and well, I'm disappointed people!
While I've found a few pieces worthy of a daily deviation that feature the human body, naked of course, I've also found a few that I'm disgusted to see on a website dedicated to artists and their work! And it's not just these deviants that are to blame.. I see many of you have posted comments like "woohoo! Whatta hottie!" etc.
Can we make it a general rule that.. if this isn't something you'd show to your little sister, it's not something you should show a world of artists online? (many of which are only 13- as thats the youngest dA will allow)
Don't worry, I'm not bashing all nudes, just those that don't exactly classify as 'art', but would be more fit to be seen in a teenage boys dirty magazine box.

Okay... Rant over.

Could It Be True...?!?

Words to the wise:
It is! It is true! Decknine has returned! Ta Da! OK. Here's my GIANT apology- Its coming... just be patient...


Alright alright. So starting off with a few words here- IM SORRY X 10000000
Mostly, I'm sorry to those fan-artists. Here's what happened:
I posted a news piece claiming that I was going to host an exhibition for FanArt! Sounds fantastic, right? Well it was! I'm a big fan of fanart, and let me say, I got alot of response to that news piece! People were submitting their work to me left, right, and center.
Now here's the kicker. Just as soon as this happened, I decided to take a hiatus from DA. Mostly, I had grades to catch up on- and one killer case of writers block.
I said i'd only be gone for a week.
That week turned into a month..
and well, here we are, about half a year later, and FINALLY i've returned.
So here's the giant apology- SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!
but yes, I'm back.
One more thing- I regret to inform you all that I'm probably not going to carry on this fanart exhibition. I think you've all figured that one out. Once again- my apologies!
But please- if anyone is willing to carry it out, please do! Also, feel free to contact me for the names and links of deviants with pieces they want to submit!
And last bust not least- You'll see only one new deviation this year so far from me, and alas.. its a joke deviation too. Sorry. Will get crackin on the new ones. (You can stop noting me now) =)

Yes, It's true, I said i'll be on hiatus for a week, and ended up taking a month. I really didn't mean to lie, but alas...


Well its very true, I was in the middle of that "Fanart Exhibition" when a few things came up that I couldn't ignore, and regretably, i completely put dA on the sidelines. I'm very sorry! I haven't even been on to explain myself!
Though, to those I watch, i've been enjoying the random thumbprints in my inbox daily, thank you for that brightening part of my day.
For MY devwatchers- a big apology from me! This journal does NOT mean I'm returning just yet.. (again- SORRY!) But I just thought I owed some explanation.

So once again, STILL on hiatus, but I'll be getting back into the routine soon!

Exhibitionism Isn't Just For Strippers

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 18, 2008, 11:47 PM
Words to the wise:
Yes, Don't get the wrong idea when I say "exhibition". I don't mean people with their tops off.
Though, If you are a male... feel free to take your top off anyways.


Yes its true! I've published my first News Article- and I think its going to be great =)
So check my recently submitted news to find it, Its an article about a FanArt Exhibition I'm putting on- why? Because.
Well, if you care to check my 'favorites', you'll realize theirs a whole section dedicated to FanArt from around dA, so i've decided that this time, I'm going to make the FanArt come to me!
I'm going to put together an exhibition of FanArt from around dA. No descrimination against any types of FanArt. Its all welcome!
Anyone can submit anything, just send me a link to your piece in a note.

Ah its going to be fun! I've got a nice little crowd of people willing to submit some art to me.
Oh, and FANFICTION writers out there? Because frankly, there isn't much lit being submitted- so c'mon! Also, this isn't just for art (though I love the art!) But also any type of craft, or jewellery or photography or lit or whatever you have thats based on your love for your favorite game, movie, tv show, cartoon.... book. HONESTLY its all welcome =)

Any questions? Feel free to note me.


UPDATE AS OF JAN 19:
Sorry to make you all wait for this, it seems that alot has come up recently that I need to deal with, so currently I am hiatus-ing my activity on dA. NO, that doesn't mean I'm leaving! It just means that for another week or so, I'll be more or less inactive.


In other delightful news- I have yet to start on any work for the past two weeks, so I am seriously dreading the start of the week. Lets hope the procrastinating me takes a hike and good old fashioned working me moves back in.
Lets hope.

Happy NEW Year!

2008! What a way to bring in the new year, and I cannot believe its finally here!


Now, as difficult as it is for me to register that the new year has actually come, I must say a final farewell to 2007.
2007 was an amazing year for me, and was in every way life changing. I definitely won't forget such a spectacular and (lets face it) EPIC year at that!
I cannot believe it's come to a close! Last year's new year party seemed only yesterday (though i realize it was yesteryear. No need to point it out)
Welcome 2008! Here's hoping this year has just as many ups (but not as many downs) as the previous one!
Also, at the moment I'm downloading projectBC's epic contention demo, and i believe it's just finished! Lets try to make this a short journal entry.
I've picked from the collection! Started with Lewis Caroll, after much deliberation over dante, but there you have it!
And one last thing- Check my favorite news column, and you'll find a piece called "Young Authors"
Click it, and it'll bring up a news piece about young authors from all around dA, and guess who's on that list? Yes, its me! I'm the last one under Prose, with my piece "His... Pt:1 Face"
Please check it out!
