Urban Exploration #5 Urban Exploration: The Motives?
Back in November, Bradley Garrett discussed the motives and politics behind urban exploration at a talk in Brighton. The article afterwards opened up my eyes when I read it, whilst Bradley's views are strong and many disagree with them - he does have an underlying point. "We have a right to explore public infrastructure. Anything funded or maintained (or not maintained) by tax money belongs to us and we should be able to use it as we like as long as we don't permanently damage it or cause harm to the citizen body." What are your thoughts on the legalities and permissions of Urban Exploration? Do you agree or disagree with Bradley? Have you been 'caught out' Urban exploring in the past? Or have you stumbled across an explorer...? Read more here.

Deviant ID feature 1You choose your ID picture to display on your front page right next to your nickname, interests, your bio and all the info that is all about you. It's quite obvious then that the ID itself is - in most cases - all about you as well. Let's take a peek at some really neat ones; and since an ID picture is an essence of one's style and personality, perhaps you'll find new galleries to watch?






Show Me #12 - SmilesI decided to start a feature series in the Deviation ThumbShare Forum based on themes and featuring the collected deviations on Sundays.

Traditional Tuesdays #49    Holy shit! This is the forty-ninth week of this little article, and I can honestly say that I didn't think it would last this long. The night I started this feature, I was bored and just browsing around the Traditional Gallery. I was finding all kinds great artwork, that for one reason or another I couldn't/wouldn't give a DD. It could be because they had a DD recently, but mainly it was for a link to go back and see what they created next, and if they took it to the next level. Now it's more for artwork that I no longer have time to DD, I can't DD everything! I still find the article fun to do, and I'll keep doing it until it no longer is. So.... here is fifteen works of art that I thought you should see. I don't trust all of you all with anymore awesomeness, you might hurt yourself! Anyway, on with the show!

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #8The things that make one piece of art great applies, for the most part, to other genres. A painter can learn how light and shadow fall from photography, photo-manipulators can learn about composition from a great
Manga drawing, and literature can give you the inspiration to try something new or take your work to the next step. You may never try all art forms you see! You can however take what you learn from them and
incorporate that into your own work. It could be the difference between stagnating and that breakthrough every artist wants to find! Now on with the show!

Diary of Jane #8Thank you for all your Bday wishes and drawings I received, it was quite memorable this year, even though collecting memories is a depressive hobby. I turned 29 which means I have one more year to deal with the fact that I won't ever be any of the following: master of Slovakia in Latin-American dances, professional actress nor a movie director, lead singer nor microbiology PhD. I will never grow taller than 165 cm and won't end up married to Timothy Dalton (I would never have disqualify such possibility a year earlier!). Still, the list of things to be deeply thankful for is too long to fit into my journal.
Valentine's Day is here! For me it means its Coldplay & "The Notebook" time, but you should enjoy sending gifts and cards to your loved ones. You can also attend a couple of DeviantArt events, read more here: Announcing the 2013 Valentines Day E-Marriages! .

Traditional Tuesdays #48***WARNING: Viewing these works of art may cause giddiness,  elevated heart rates, and happiness in the pants(which could lead to  blindness)! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***

Now with the  warming out of the way, Hi, and welcome to edition number forty-eight of  Traditional Tuesdays. This week, like all  of the other weeks, I'll be  featuring fifteen works of art from the Traditional Gallery.  Any more than that might and you might loss interest or it could cause  your monitor to fail in an explosion of awesomeness.  I would feel  guilty if that were to happen, so I'm keeping it at fifteen! The
Traditional  gallery is a vast storeroom of work that covers many mediums and  genres. I've tried to show a diverse array of artwork, but I don't have  room for them all. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #10This little feature is now into the double digits of editions :woohoo:. This wasn't something I that had I planned on doing. Originally this was just a one off article because I was bored one day, and started typing in random search words. It is still fun to do though, so I think it will keep going until it no longer is.

Top 20 of 2012As it is the end of the year (in fact, already the 1st in some places) I wanted to do a feature of my top 20 favourite DDs from 2012.  I looked after 3 galleries and have been privileged to be shown and able to promote some incredible art and artists.  So here are my picks =)
