Deviation Actions
To my surprise, the idiots at DA finally realized I had another photograph in my gallery that offends them. I was wondering how long it would take.
This photo was of a decayed opossum, taken very artistically. It was just bones and hair, and, in my own artist's opinion, a fitting tribute to the death of a living thing.
I'm a buddhist, not some sick, sadistic weirdo. I honor living things, and part of that honor comes with death. But no one on the staff seems to realize that.
As I've said in the past, I will no longer post my work on this community. My serious pieces are not respected, and that is highly offensive to me.
The only reason I am leaving up what I have previously posted is so that hopefully, someone will run across my page and read about the severity of the censorship that goes on here.
I realize that this site is not a public forum, and all content is at the mercy of the art gods who run it. I just joined with the hopes of receiving critiques from other artists. Well, those hopes were certainly dashed to pieces.
I'm sorry, guys, but there's nothing "deviant" about being closed-minded fucks. If Salvador Dali were still alive, and wanted to post his painting, "The Lugubrious Game," would you censort THAT simply because it portrays a man who's shit his pants in the lower righthand corner? Everyone's seen a dead animal, and everyone's shit their pants. Neither are so shocking that they cannot be handled by any person with average sense and intellegence. But, nowadays, our society wants to protect everyone from everything that might make them the slightest bit uncomfortable.
I hate to tell you, but no one has ever become famous for following all the rules and being tame and ordinary.

CENSORED!
i recently had a photograph that i took approximately eight months ago as my featured deviation . it was of a dead pigeon that i found in the alley behind my home. being a photographer, i was captivated by the tragic beauty of this animal, and felt that it was something worth capturing in a photo.
however, the staff at deviantART does not agree with me. for reasons that have only been explained to me via form letter, my photograph has been removed from their art community site. this was their explanation.
xstacey,

i see zombies in my dreams
just writing to say that i know i haven't been too productive with my photography lately. i'm going to try harder. really.
i've got several photos i need to resize and upload. so if anyone cares, check back every now and then to see some new stuff.
also, i finally got a new computer...an iMac G5. the display quality is great. so much better and larger than my laptop. also, having a computer that doesn't shut down in the middle of photoshop or illustrator is a definite plus. i can actually perform simple tasks with no frustration. i love it.

optional second entry
since i started posting my work on here, i've started concentrating more on photography. i recently pre-sold my firstborn and purchased a digital canon EOS rebel. i am in LOVE. it's great...definitely worth the money.
i've actually gotten a few offers to take photos for people, which is exciting. a guy who is a magician was interested in having me take some headshots and promo pics of him. also, the guy who sold me the camera was starting his own business and said he might be interested in having me do some ad/photo/design work for him. neither of them have gotten back to me yet, but i'm still hoping.
right now i'm working on getting
obligatory first entry
so i've been on here for like two days. i've gotten some good feedback and even one favorite already, which is really cool. =)
i'm sitting here being bored. i may work in some stuff in photoshop, see what comes out.
i guess maybe i will tell this place about me a little. i'm a college student, majoring in advertising and minoring in graphic design. i may put some of the ads i've done up here, even though there really isn't a category for that sort of thing (i think). i'm a junior. i've been going to summer school, mostly learning french. je parle mal francais, haha. i live in a loft apartment without air conditioning. the summer h
