Art Thieves act more and more shamelessThe reason for this journal: I am sick of being ripped over and over again. Not only that people post my art in their blogs, Facebook, flickr, photobucket and even on YouTube without my permission which I ignore meanwhile because I don't want to spend my whole live being pissed off. But with increasing frequency people take my art and MAKE PROFIT with it. I can't take this anymore.
I am looking for a lawyer in the USA
I think a good lawyer could make real money with me as their client. I am from Germany. The entertainment law is a little different here than in the US. I can't sue a person who is living in the United States, at least not without considerable cost. Figure that! But most of the people or websites who sell my art live in the US or have their company headquarters there. My german lawyer would not take those cases. ARE YOU A SPECIALIZED US LAWYER or do you know someone who is one? I think if I would sue everyone who is living on my work I could be very rich.

dear DARather than having tons of useless fonction I ask you one thing ...please fix the devwatch bug !!! I'm so sick of not receiving all the deviations of artists I follow in my message center... The point of your site is sharing art so where is the share when you don't even see the works of artists you follow in your message center.........=_=... that was the rant of the night sorry i'm tired =_=

The cruel laws of nature...Hiya dear watchers,fans,friends and amazing people alike!
How are things going with you all? nice weather? good news to share? don't hesitate to bring here a little piece of yourself so that i can know you all a little more.
On my side, i must admit that things could have gone better...
I lost my Dog , Named Jack , who i grew up with for 11 years. I lost my scorpions as you knew...
and now Yesterday i lost my Strawberry/Snow Albinos Corn snake Yuki...
The poor thing was eaten by the cat of my roommates who , believe it or not , actually could get a grip on the snake while the snake was in the terrarium...I do not know how the cat did it , but it could...I came in the room when the cat ate half of the snake ( Yuki was stuck in between the barrier, the cat probably got a hold of it's tail and pull on it. )...it was ...horrible.
absolutely and utterly horrible...the snake was alive the ENTIRE time, even when it was half-ate...
I had to make the very hard decisions to end its misery...with

2 ooo ooo views Thank you!Everyone seems to write a little something for this type of kiriban and it seems appropriate so here we go:
Firstly, I for one second never forget that all that I have is from God and if He wants He can take it away in a second though I hope He doesn't. That's my belief and I'm entitled to it and to say it and i thank Him for allowing me whatever success I have achieve however small or big. I also ask for forgiveness for all the wrong in it, and to be rewarded for any good in it.
Second, all the comments that you guys give me, mostly good and some bad, have helped me to grow as an artist. I am thuroughly convinced I still have a lot to learn and lot more potential as an artist. As much as possible i read all the comments you leave and if you all of a sudden get a response to your comment a few weeks down the line, well that's the proof that I do. Again, thank you for all your fandom and i wish you all the best in your quest for art if you are on that journey as well.
Third, I want to a

FEAR NO ART 4Thanks to revolutionary big-wigs like Banksy, Lee Quinones, and Swoon,
Street Art is becoming more house-hold then forbidden fruit, more revered
than reprimanded, and more accepted than door-slammed. But of course,
even if your parents know who the Os Gemeos twins are, thanks to a
rather grandiose public art-making exhibition this past August, that doesn't
make street art any more palatable or easily categorized. Indeed: the
Street Art enigma has become ever-more abstract and hard to pin down:
are these artists graphic designers or law-breakers? Are these people
grocery-shopping regulars behind their elusive pseudonyms, or wild,
shark-punching booze-hounds? And, most importantly: why are they all
gathered in one room together?
Boston's Fourth Wall Project will be the petri dish for FEAR NO ART 4, an
exhibit showcasing the newest generation of street artists pulsating from
both sides of the US including, but not limited to: the fantasmic master-
mind behind tokidoki, the brazen SLICK of

H.B.Lewis interviewRecent interview with character designer and illustrator H.B.Lewis (Ratatouille, Kung Fu Panda, Over the Hedge, Madagascar, Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan, Ice Age) sat down with me to talk about life as an artist and amazing stories of him starting off in the industry. We had a bit of trouble with the video but the sound was fine so please excuse the video quality. It was done over Skype...
Sending everyone positive vibes!

Bill Plympton Interview!My recent interview with the award winning film maker Bill Plympton. I had an amazing time talking with him. The skype video was a bit choppy but the sound turned out fine so enjoy! Don't forget to leave a comment underneath the interview to let me know what you think!

Defeated the failWhiteKnightIt's true, i defeated the failWhiteKnight. I got an update on my report on the now called Faggot-Elite that they sent him a warning, and that i should have a nice day. The war is finally over, I have been vindicated and I don't have to worry about my account now, so that's nice.
I still want him to give Sechtet that apology she deserves, and i WILL have it.
Nothing else new, just thought you'd guys like an update.
:iconmorespartaplz: Peace!

12th Royal Knight revealed!Good morning, day, evening or even a night depending on where you live.
But that's about it. While I logged in a little while ago, there was a message that went like this:
Just thought you might like to know, a new member of the Royal Knights has been revealed in the V-Jump manga. He's called Gankuumon (no idea what it means). This is the best picture I can find of him- http://wikimon.net/images/5/58/Gankuumon.jpg
The other new digimon in the background is called Hackmon, I think it may be a devolution of Gankuumon. ( http://wikimon.net/images/9/98/Hackmon.jpg ). They are both set to debut in the Digimon Adventure game released next year.
(Thanks ~JR19759 )
Anyway, as long I can read katakana it really talks something about Royal Knights. So people, I guess we have a new member here now.
.... OH WELL. I'll leave opinions to you. The only thing I'll say is: "one more friggin' dragon related guy".
MoA quits.
EDIT: Better scan of Gankuumon: http://i.imgur.com/GwsJT.jpg (source

What the Future HoldsAfter that meltdown over the sore lack of feedback on "The Destined Battle" story, I've since pulled myself together. A friend of mine did what I myself would've done if someone else had posted such a rant (it's since been deleted), and that's throw a splash of cold water at me to get my attention. The truth is he was right. I need to do what makes me happy. But whenever I put such high hopes on people actually commenting or at least faving my stories, I set myself up for a letdown everytime.
I have thought back to when my stories really did get a fair amount of feedback. It was because I was consistent in bringing the thunder. In keeping at least a semi-consistent stream of new content coming, yet leaving enough time in between each story or chapter to be separately read through and commented on, people were more inclined to do so.
However, there is a twinge of bad news in all this. While I've basically saying that my stories will become more regular and consistent, I'm also going to

Anthro Sequel Officially a Lost CauseI've been putting off saying this for a long time now in the hopes that things might turn around and I would get a stroke of inspiration that would let me crank it out. But it's high time I face the inevitable. It's been over two years since I did the first Anthro story. I left the door wide open for a sequel because I always knew I'd be expanding the story greatly and doing Rinji's most official origin story in the process; everything from him growing up to his training under his sensei. But no matter how much time has passed, the sequel just won't present itself to me. And anytime I try to force the story, which I already know is never a good idea to begin with, I hit a brick wall of writer's block. So at this point, it's time I let everyone know that the sequel is on an indefinite hiatus. It sucks too, because it was one of my most popular stories.
So anyway, to those of you who have been patiently waiting for the sequel to be made, I am very sorry that it's come to this. This holds

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Cavus VitaIt was bound to happen, in my opinion. I know quite a few people who are still fans of the card game and I play here and there. Unfortunately, I have no opponents, work all day and free time in evening. So what I plan to do here is create a way to meet others through DA through a story based role playing and dueling system. I understand if you read this and have every intention to look down on my existence for now on because I am ashamed of myself for still knowing how to play this game.
Here it goes:
http://chat.deviantart.com/chat/YuGiOhCavusVita
In this role play, there are two worlds: the world of the living, and the world of the dead. In the world of the dead, or the Underworld, people who enter it, by dying, are greeted by a shinigami who is there to collect your soul. However, he offers you a proposition: he will allow you to exist again among the living, but at a price: In order to continue living, you must take part in duels with others who have made the same deal in order to
