> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
My name is Sam, however I tend to go by ChaosFissure online. I'm currently a junior in college studying Applied Computer Science, with a concentration in video game design. There are a wide variety of things I enjoy doing: digital art, coding, game design, SCUBA diving, and being a roller coaster aficionado (at least in my younger years!) are just scratching the surface of what I like. I also enjoy trying to help out wherever I can; I get great satisfaction if I'm able to help someone learn something new, or share some of

Leaving Eden>>> Antimatter, Leaving Eden <<<

Put the thorn in my side, the coins on my eyes
I'm not awake, I'm leaving Eden

And all her frozen charms lie cold in my arms
Panic went away and left me reeling

It's warm outside but the weat

Famous Photographers: Yann Arthus-BertrandIf the Earth had formed a year ago, Life would have appeared - on February 26th, Dinosaurs would have arrived on December 10th to vanish just 16 days later and Homo Sapiens would have showed up very late on December 31st. A few minutes later, in less than one minute, Man would have drastically altered the fragile balance between land, seas and atmosphere. Humanity is on the march, earth itself is left behind."
~ David Ehrenfeld, 1978

Yann Arthus-Bertrand undertook probably one of the most fascinating collections of Photography that I've ever come across. He first started shooting from the air whilst in a hot air balloon. In more recent years, he has been able to use a helicopter. Whatever his methods have been, he has never ceased to snap creative, inspiring and other-worldly type images.

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!
**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!**

Celebrating Diversity #18The beauty of art is that it can be shaped using different mediums. Whether it translates into magnificence, sorrow or amazement it always evokes a feeling inside of us. Step outside of your comfort zone and go experience other types of art. Go randomly click on galleries that you've never explored before. It might turn out to be exactly what you needed to see.

My name is Rui Luz, I was born twenty-six years ago and my main interests are Art, especially photography and music; Nature, from simply getting lost in a forest to the human kind; and Caffeine. ;)
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
Well since I was a kid, I always held a drawing pen: my imagination was always my biggest friend and along with a pen I spent most of my early days between paper sheets and even

ProjectPorkchop Vol181#ProjectPorkchop is all about bringing more exposure to the many talented yet under appreciated artists going unseen on deviantART daily.

A Collection of Recent Discoveries in Abstract and Surreal Art

To see similar work, check out my favourites.

It would appear that I am going to be perpetually a few weeks behind my actual most-recent favourite list additions with this feature, but at least that means I'll never run out of content! I didn't imagine that I would be adding so much work to my favourites once I took this position as Community Volunteer.}

I really enjoyed this feature

^arctoa Jan 16, 2013 Student Photographer

^{Excellent! Good to know. I enjoy putting them together, there's something rewarding about digging back through my favourites.}

*MaddLouise Jan 19, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

I know what you mean

I love doing features when I can

^arctoa Jan 19, 2013 Student Photographer

^{Yes indeed; I only wish I had started doing it sooner. Prior to taking the CV post I'd only ever put out one proper feature journal and that was way back in 2008 or something like that.}

*MaddLouise Jan 31, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

I used to do features aaall the time (once I got a premium account)! I feel like I never have the time to anymore

but that will change when my laptop is fixed...

I hope you're doing well

^arctoa Feb 1, 2013 Student Photographer

Yeah, it can be time-consuming; especially if one's computer can't handle having many tabs open at once. There used be a Firefox script that gave you the thumb-code from the gallery page so you didn't have to open up each deviation page to get them, but that's long-since been discontinued.

*MaddLouise Feb 16, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Definitely.. or your internet is slow. Aw, that sounds like it would have been quite helpful.

*puken Jan 13, 2013

Thank you so much.

^arctoa Jan 14, 2013 Student Photographer

^{You're most welcome.}

~FxSanyi Jan 13, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Once more: thank you.
