Well, we all know by now that DeviantART's original Co-Founder and Co-Creator is a Former Staff Member now. But we still don't know why. But we still don't have the answers! And if anyone thinks that this is not my business I'll say you are wrong. It's everybody's business when the actual co-founder of a site such as this is forcibly removed from power. So unfair! Today him, tomorrow maybe you or I or anyone, anything else! It's everybody's business when comments and journals were deleted which is against the policy. What's next? It's everybody's business because we are here! Don't you want to know the future of this place after all?

Your inertia is killing me! In a larger perspective, the problem with the world today is that a very few people care when something unethical happens.

We fight for what we believe, others are waiting on us to become tired and for dust to fall upon our goal. In my country we have the saying: every miracle last only for three days. And that is the truth in general. I saw that too often. But that won't be my truth. It never was. I won't let it happen! If this place is just another giant website then I can put my art on any other. But this place is much more for some of us. I won't go gently into the night. This is just the beginning. We can make a difference!

I want to say to my friends, watchers and people that I watch, I'm here because of you. As the admin of four DA communities (and one of them has 2.000 members!) I'm also here because of them. I don't have any other reasons. And if you don't feel on a same way, that's ok, I love you for being different but please, don't accuse me that I jumped into "the bandwagon" because I would never say that to you, rather now try to understand my feelings from these lines. I have two jobs and often not enough time to post comments but I'm doing the best I can. I still give much more comments than I receive. It is a must for me to find time for my administrative duties at these communities and I always do, it is my pleasure after all. I keep coming back here only because of you. If that is not the case, as I said before, I could post my art on any other website.

I thank you endlessly for your wonderful friendship and art! :heart:

°jark isn't coming back?



Save The Alien

If you want any of my prints, please let me know, I will lower the prices. All profit will go to :jark:.



Do you remember the things we asked for? Let me remind you:

- Internal investigation of Management practices and financials.
- Assertion of Administration as representatives of Artists in oversight of Management.
- Correction of the Submission Agreement to represent Artists rights fairly.
- Clarification of the Founders roles in all site history and staff pages.
- Expedition of all legal matters to be resolved between Management and the Founders.
- Institutional intolerance for propaganda and corporate "spin."

Not much happened. There is no excuse for delay! We all want this mess over with.

I am now officially sick and tired of sending notes to some of our dear admins and never getting any reply! Those were mainly notes about daily deviations and prints... a couple of questions about them. All in all, nothing offensive. Nothing "politic"! Just simple notes from a person who simply needs some help. I wonder why we have (certain) admins! Am I simply treated as "opposition" so no one is bothering to help me out? I didn't have this problem before and now I really have to wonder! How many notes I must send in order to get one single reply? How long I must wait? Hell it's been a three weeks since I send some of them! Enough is enough.

You'll find a  lot of journals at the following link: Yellow Journals. Had to put them on a separate page because Deviant Art couldn't handle my journal entry any more, it simply became too big :D. There are two reasons why I posted those journals. The first one is so that you can read if you are interested and the second one is to keep the track. If you want me to add you, just send the link. All entries will be passed to bookdiva.

Thats how it is. The world we live is financially oriented. Its sad indeed when things like this, started for artistic reasons get so commercial :(
