Second Daily Deviation

I noticed that I have more messages than usual, when I opened chrome. Without checking them, I scrolled down and was shocked to see my photo in the channels section! My second Daily Deviation. It's really surreal to me to be honest. I'm truly greatful to Kaz-D (https://www.deviantart.com/kaz-d) and to those who suggested my artwork obviously. I'm hoping my piece will help others. That was one of my intentions with this photo. First and foremost to share my story with my followers and friends and a reminder for myself. There are days when it's hard to be fully happy about myself. But this photo keeps reminding me how happy I was when I finally accepted myself. It takes time,

2012 Roundup!

2012 has seen projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate) advance with the changing times here on deviantART and become an official group! That means that it has been a lot easier to bring you all the information, features, interviews and articles as part of various Project Educate weeks. So with the functions of groups at our fingertips, the articles shared are all in organised gallery folders for ease - all of which are linked in this article. 2012 also saw the Introduction of Community Weeks headed up by members of the community. They're now running monthly and are designed for members of the community to get involved by writing articles on whatever they want -

Where credit is due.

I need to say something. A few months ago, dA launched Stash Writer. I'm not using the period, because I can't remember where it goes and nobody cares anyway. When they launched it, it kinda sucked. For many reasons, which I won't go into here, because it's not important. What's important is what happened then, and what happened since. I will enumerate the earth-shaking developments here: 1. Stash Writer happened at all. 2. They improved it since. Now, in the short time I've been hanging around here, one of the most-repeated whines is that dA doesn't give a shit about writers or the Literature community. Trust me when I say that this no

So You Wanna be a Stocker?

Welcome to the first "So You Wanna be a Stocker?" article!  I asked some of the biggest names in stock some typical questions that new stockers might have, in hopes that their answers will help stockers new and old learn a bit!  I asked them different questions with some overlap in hopes of getting differing opinions. Our interviewees today are faestock (https://www.deviantart.com/faestock), Tasastock (https://www.deviantart.com/tasastock), and AdorkaStock (https://www.deviantart.com/adorkastock). 1. Is an expensive camera necessary? Tasastock (https://www.deviantart.com/tasastock) says, "No, but they are damned fun to play with! You can get a decent camera for a decent price nowadays that will shoot good quality images in the right conditions. Obviously they're not good f

Since you asked . . .

Welcome! Welcome to my mind! :evillaugh: The following questions are derived from inquiries I receive all the time as a CV and as an artist in the photomanipulation community. The questions also came from a couple of "Ask me anything!" polls. I didn't realize that I had so much to say until I sat down and wrote it out. I hope you enjoy my story. First, why photomanipulation? Why not digital painting or traditional drawing? I don't know how to explain my love for photomanipulation, really. It is like taking reality and making it more serene, more surreal. More fantastic. I really love that you are taking a piece of life (photos) and making i

Pure Joy

This year (2011) for the Holidays I followed Bentley on a great adventure. He'd seen me stressing out all year and he finally put his paw down. I canceled the plans I had originally made. And he made me follow my heart. Even though I had my doubts.. It turns out, Bentley is wise. Off we were to Mammoth Mountain, on some last minute plans. The type where you know things are being rushed and so they won't go well. But Bentley had faith. So first he enlisted my Mom, jeanpat (https://www.deviantart.com/jeanpat) because he prefers when she feeds him. She gives him too much in his bowl! And Viktoria o-KOUKLA-o (https://www.deviantart.com/o-koukla-o) plays with him in the mornings if I'm still asleep, so she's pre

Twitter Tips

Hi printscommunity (https://www.deviantart.com/printscommunity)!, In our last poll we asked about your use of Twitter in promoting your Prints. Well, the community has spoken and a number of you have asked for some tips on how to better use Twitter to promote your work. So, we've put together some tips for you on how to leverage the Twitter platform in marketing yourself. Twitter is different from dA, facebook, and tumblr in a number of ways. Perhaps the most important is brevity. Most tweets live and die in a matter of minutes. The vast majority of tweets die in the first hour. Also, you only have 140 characters to say what you want. So how the heck are you gonna use this thing

Feature for Angelo Sotira's Birthday!

Tomorrow, February 14, 2013, is spyed (https://www.deviantart.com/spyed)'s birthday for those of you who may not know. Angelo is most likely the most dedicated deviant out there, after all, he keeps this place going. However, he is also a very kind deviant who often asks towards giving to others rather than giving to himself. This year, I wanted to feature a few amazing artists I have found as a dedication to Angelo as well as to those artists. Angelo, happy birthday, we appreciate all the work you have done for this amazing community. :heart: I hope you all enjoy this.

It now looks like many codes don't work in Literature submissions anymore,  (or disable the "Eclipse" version of the site and show the old site instead), so some of the demonstrations here only look like regular text.  But they should display properly if you copy/paste them in the comments.   I'm so glad to see how many of you wonderful people still utilize this resource, so I wish you the best and encourage you to go ahead and experiment to see what works and what do

The Timeless Code of the Eternal Outsider

Why Drive will be the movie that is remembered in years to come  Film Noir is a genre of “life in the shadows” movies that became popular in America during  the uncertain times of World War II.  Westerns have remained a shorthand for the American  psyche with their sullen outsiders with a personal code of honor bucking the system.    Samurai films mirror the lone avenger protagonist, but set against a longing for a lost  society of incorruptible values. Now and again a notable contemporary noir or western or  samurai film emerges with little fanfare amidst all the commercial cacophony of the louder,
