ARTISTS – A CHALLENGE FOR YOU!
Some of you may be wondering what I’ve been up to. I have spent a lot of time thinking about the current issue/s here at deviantART and also about ways to help (a tiny bit) artists to make their work safer than doing nothing – just an exploration of sorts. Before you start yelling at me I KNOW about all the ways to defeat things. My intention is only to make it more time-consuming to steal art. Ooops I mean, infringe my copyright!
I also have been spending time walking in the woods I love, photographing things that catch my interest, which are too many to list. Yesterday I was out stumbling over logs and plowing through spider-webs (while trying to avoid the hornets home in the ground) and it was GORGEOUS! Well…at least to me, it was.
Certain parts of the woods are ablaze with the fiery red/orange poisonous Amanita mushrooms and I was in heaven, crawling around on the forest floor, photographing them. They are all so very different, each one unfolding in it’s own unique splendor.
Of course I couldn’t leave, without the prerequisite photos of “my” beloved stream! The water was such a cold, crystal clear rambling liquid, that I could see every single algae covered rock and stick. It’s funny – the stream has so many “moods” and the water changes color depending on the time of day, the angle of the sun, and the changing sky, with and without clouds. Today it was mostly green, brown or a blackish. Some areas were however, a striking blue!
Now, with all of this said – I have a challenge for all of you artists! Does anybody remember as a kid, having the teacher hand out a line drawing of a scene and being asked to find the pictures in it? I do – yes – that puts me in the category of the chronologically more advanced – and I love it!
Here’s the challenge artists. 1arcticfox.deviantart.com/&nbs… all of my signatures in the landscape photo I just uploaded! Note me and tell me how many of my signatures you find. I will feature the first 3 artists to note me, in my Journal for a month. So, get busy and have fun!!
*** I will post my Journal with your features in it within the next 2 weeks – and maybe sooner. It all depends on how cranky my carpal tunnel is! Thanks for understanding. ***

WAY WAY TOO LONG

WAY WAY TOO LONG!
I have missed all of you and DA! I can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years since I last posted anything! I have checked into DA here and there when I missed seeing your art but have had very little time to spend here. I am semi-back, but I can't yet say exactly how often I will be here or how much. I hope to post a new journal in the next week or so and maybe even post some new photos. Wow, 2 1/2 years! Where did it go? :wow:
To all my friends at DA, whether it be in Fractals, Photography, Wallpaper or all fields of art – I have missed you!
For anyone that might have featured any of my work whi

PULLING MY HAIR OUT!
SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE DA SITE
Ok....that's it. I've had it for today. I just typed up a journal explaning some of the problems I am having with the DA site - and when I closed out the "Preview" box (I always view before posting) - it gave me the "Sorry You Are Forbidden" page and DELETED the journal I had typed! (you all know that typing is not easy for me)
:frustrated: :frustrated:
I can't re-type the whole journal now, but I wanted to apologize for not being able to view/fav very much of your work, but it's because I' having a terrible time doing anything on the site because of problems and extreme lag between pages. Very sorry!
BEAR SCARE AND NEWS UPDATE
BEAR SCARE AND NEWS UPDATE
Wow…where have I been?! My time here at DA this summer has been very limited due to "life". The move of my youngest daughter and family from Alaska to the east coast, has consumed much of my time for the last 6 weeks. :-( Hopefully I'm going to be able to be back more often now. :-)
THE CARPAL TUNNEL
I'm still very much limited in my ability to leave comments due to the CT - which has been driving me nuts recently. It can take 3 days for me to get a journal prepared. There is so much else at DA I would like to do such as contests and groups but I can't because of it. Sometimes I can't hold a phone wi

That's actually pretty rude. As long as neither you nor anyone else is making money off of your work (excluding maybe the random selling of "prints" on deviantArt or something, if you're the one who's making money from that), there's really no reason why anyone shouldn't be able to, say, use your picture as their wallpaper, and then post it to a random site that says, "Show us your wallpaper". In fact that's actually advertising for you, because then if someone likes the wallpaper, they'll says, "Awesome, where did you get it?", and the human will then link them to your dA. You see the reason copyright laws exist is to prevent others from making money off your creations, but if you don't want to share your creations with the world (i.e. viewing when you are not running some kind of art gallery that charges for viewing) then why post them at all? I am incredibly annoyed when people disable the saving of their work... what is the point in me having looked at it if I can't do something with it? (Such as save it to my pictures to look at at random times, use it as wallpaper screensaver etc., or show it to other people when they are wanting to look at something that fits the category - and I really don't want to bookmakr 300 different URLs of pictures solely for that purpose, which would be stupid).
Now on the other hand posting a note that it is copyrighted (to prevent the people who would actually *steal* it - note: I have not until now mentioned stealing) and asking others to always link to you when they show it to anybody under the idea of "shameless self-promotion" is perfectly fine.
