...A touch of Spring...Winter has barely started but I already feel the Spring...

Let the beauty bloom...

...and feel its soft caress in your skin.

Flourish, my Rose of May

and let no shade of gray

hide the beauty within

No more tears are falling from the sky

Let your hopes and cranes fly

Swaying in the wind

They'll reach you at last

When the dead of April's rain...

Big-Big Thumbs #6Welcome to yet another round of awesome Big Thumbs! If you are interested you can always check out the previous features in this collection

Big Thumbs?
To make a big thumb all you do is append the word big in the thumbnail. This is a very handy feature when doing features. Here is how it is done:

On to the part that actually matters! The feature!

Till Next Time?
I hope that you've enjoyed today's features ^_^ I refuse to make a schedule for these as, frankly, no one would notice if it was off schedule anyways

That, and it adds unnecessary stress to an otherwise fun feature

ProjectPorkchop Vol192#ProjectPorkchop is all about bringing more exposure to the many talented yet under appreciated artists going unseen on deviantART daily. The artists chosen truly deserve more attention based on low counts of favorites, comments, and watchers, added to their incredible artistic talent.

Celebrating Diversity #12This edition of Celebrating Diversity I want to focus on two extremes of art: Extremely detailed and realistic works and minimal and abstract art. Both tendencies or trends have their place and time in art and history and are appreciated by many people. Not always does one person like both, but to me personally, art has always been more about feeling, than about complexity. Something simple can touch me emotionally as well as something blasting with details. Art is just as individual as every human being!

How do you feel about these tw

Feature: Hocus PocusWhen I think of halloween the movie Hocus Pocus always comes to mind. It's such a classic I can't imagine going a year without watching it. It also happens to be one of `shuttermonkey's favourite movies of all time, seeing that he was born on Halloween. We've decided to watch it a little early this year so we can get some other great spooky themed movies in every week up to his birthday. I've decided to do a feature for each movie so bear with me, or be on the look out for more journals featuring artwork based on some amazing movies!

February 2013 Traditional Art DD Round-upHello all,

Art Clay Jewerly

Art Clay! There is a couple of kinds of it that you can use to create many diffrent types of fabulous thigs, not only jewerly. Here, you can see brilliant jewerly pieces done with Art Clay Metal (generally silver, this time) and Polymer Clay.

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #4My plan is to keep the features fresh for me(and you) and maybe open a few eyes to all the different kinds of artwork that is available while browsing the deviantArt galleries. The 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!
**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!**

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #13This little feature is now 13 editions old and finally dA legal! 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.

With so much loveHello everyone! I'd like to share a very important feature that is very close to my heart

I started this collection last year I think but due to uncertain circumstances, I was not able to update the collection on a regular basis, which led me to the hiatus for the collection. But a few months back, I think earlier this year, I saw an artwork that made me think that I should go back and make my collection grow.
DeviantArt, being the world's largest online art community, is definitely a place where you can see lots of amazing artworks. You can see how each one grows from being a seedling into a full grown artist. In case you missed, this is a personal journal that I shared months ago: A Whirlpool of Experiences and Humble Beginnings. This is a personal sharing on how DeviantART has helped me to where I am now as a person and as an artist.

Fan Art Fridays - Phantom of the OperaHello and welcome to the first edition of Fan Art Fridays

I'll be featuring 10-15 pieces of fan art, by fandom each week. This week will start with my all time favourite musical and book, Phantom of the Opera as suggested by `TouchedVenus

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.
