~JesseArt013 and *Ilenora are raising money for the victims of the Victoria Bush, which is the worst disaster in Australian history. They are separately raising funds, so check them both out. ~JesseArt013 will be :music: Supporting Survival with Tunes :music: *Ilenora is selling Artwork that she has created especially for this cause.


~DropByDropProject is a novel project created in support of clean water and sanitation systems in Kenya through various initiatives. Its concept extends far beyond that of a simple fundraiser. In actuality, it embodies a lifestyle philosophy. It embraces the idea that true progress is accomplished little by little, person by person, drop by drop.


Not only has *John44NY lost his wife to Cancer, but he is now fighting his own battle. He is currently seeking an artist to paint a portrait of them together. If you are interested, please drop him a note. He has limited funds, so I am offering an artists feature to the deviant who takes on this charity.


We all could use some Positivity. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the good things we have done or can do.

Drama Llama

So, I am sure a lot of people know about the current contest [link] , and a few know about the drama that's surrounding it, the two main chunks of drama concern Shepard Fairey's currently ongoing litigation, and the primarily bible thumping view point of hating 'the gays' or at the least the 'sin' of being gay, or something to that effect.

It's the latter I want to address, since the former already has been, as well as the fact that I don't know much about Shepard Fairey's ongoing litigation.

It seems that most against this contest because of 'the gay' angle, are so because they consider homosexuality to be immoral, an abomination, or some other ridiculous statement to that effect.

I should note that, I am a Godless Heathen, an (Agnostic) Atheist, so I already know that my word is going to carry about as much weight as a feather in a storm, but I consider the morality of these particular people to be laughable, pitiful even.

My idea of Morality is thus, 'don't kill, don't rape, don't steal, don't unjustly imprison, don't torture... etc', in other words, my morality is very simple, don't deprive another person of their rights without their permission. To do so, I consider to be immoral.
Things like Proposition 8 I consider one of the highest forms of Immorality. Not only are the rights of others being voted on, but it's also made law, as well.

To that end, I consider those against this contest because of 'the gay' angle to be far more immoral than mostly any gay person that I know or know of.

If you are one of those people, and you have the misfortune of reading this piece of what you will probably call 'liberal propaganda', I'd suggest you take a good long look at yourself and your particular god, before you start telling people what you think is moral and immoral.

To state the painfully obvious, deviantART is an art website, so it stands to reason that most of the people here are artists or creatives in some form or another.
Historically and Generally speaking, artists and creatives have been and are known to be among the most 'liberal' groups of people in any given society.
This contest is a testament to that fact.

So, please, don't be surprised when such contests turn up, artists and creatives have a history of bucking the trend, particularly in socio-political issues. Art is a powerful motivator, is it any wonder that this contest has come to the largest art community in the world?

Hey there, I'm the science nerd of the Senior MN@ (at least the most vocal anyway :B), you can always count on me to be overly verbose and ever willing to bore you to death with a cornucopia of scientific fluff.

I'm a bit of a 'jack of all trades', as such, I can be found in #devart and #MNAdmin as well as the forums, particularly the Deviants, Hardware, Operating System and Software forums.
I hope to see you around :B

Oh, and I also tend to over use :B, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Daily Deviation Suggestion Guideline

This is just a short checklist/guideline when you want to make a Daily Deviation suggestion to me.
  • I can only feature from the Photography and, (to a lesser extent) the Photomanipulation Galleries.
  • Title the suggestion note with 'DD Suggestion' (or something similar).
  • Suggestions with a reason for the suggestion will be considered before suggestions with no reason.
  • You must include a thumbnail of the suggested image, any suggestion without such will be promptly binned.
  • If the image is a photomanipulation, or otherwise incorporates content that the deviant didn't otherwise create themselves, then the deviation must list its sources. I can't, in good faith, DD an image without this information, I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I DD'd an image that had parts of an image you had created used without permission, or even attribution.
  • The deviant that is receiving the DD must not have received a DD in the last three months, at a minimum. I prefer to feature those who have never received a DD.
  • The deviation must not have more than 200 favourites.

Would you like to see video tutorials by me explaining my workflow and how I generally go about getting my 'look', such as it is, for the various types of photography I do?

Hi! :) I saw that you had a long discussion with :iconedward-norton: at [link] . I don’t know if this person seriously believes that women suck or if this person is trolling. However, this person also posted comments like that in some of my threads. Plus, we don’t even know this person’s gender. On his/her profile, it says Female and there is a girl in the deviant ID. However, in my thread, this person seemed to imply he/she was a man. Also, this person said he/she would rather be a frog than a woman because frogs are better than women: [link] [link]

Basically, I do not think we will be able to have an intelligent conversation with this person. :( However, you have probably already realized this.

Applesauce is wonderful.

Cookies are better.

Pie is even better.

Fruitcakes are funny-looking.

Flashlights are full of empty hopes and dreams.

Are you still reading this? You really must be bored, huh?

Try harder friend, the fact that I am lardy is not in question, and 'insults' to that effect do little to hurt my fragile feelings, since it's a fault about my person that I am well aware of.
