Ok it's been too long since I last wrote in here, lot's of things happened in the meanwhile. I'll try to mention them all in here but well some things are just to private to mention in here, we musn't forget this is public to everyone too .

On the 25th of september it was my birthday and I got lot's of money from my family... mommie, dad, grandmom, godfather, ... Together with the money I had earned with my holliday job I bought me.... exciting... a CANON EOS 350D + 18-55 KITLENSE. O I was so happy with it. I bought it in a photographers shop rather than a Big company like FNAC... but that also resultet in paying 75 euro more... Which maybe at this time I start regretting. Anyways, I have a 350D now and I've been shooting a lot with it already. I have over 650 pictures already... I have submitted 3 selected ones to my gallery too. Check them out
.

Then while shooting some pictures for the Be Afraid contest (by `Ghouldaddy) in the attic, I found a tripod, never knew we had that at home and therefor it was a very pleasant surprise .

In the meanwhile ~deviantStamps is come along quite nice, I have gathered almost 150 stamps now.

In school everything is okay too, I'm about the only one in class paying attention, I keep notifying teachers of mistakes on the blackboard... while noone else had noticed them... Sleeping I guess, can't blame 'm.

I'm going to participate in the contest for *AdShare too, we have to design an ID and avatar for it. I hope I'll get one of the prizes, cuz my sub is expiring soon and I haven't got a credit card to pay for it myself... And I haven't sols any prints yet either so my d$ are kinda absent.



I don't really have the time for the moment to add featured works here but when I get some time I'll surely do that. Meanwhile, I have a lot of 's which you can check out .

This being my second decent journal entry, you can still comment about the design of the images . Feel free to open your mind in whatever means you have to contact me.

As some of you might know already, I started something new here on dA . More info about it's purpose (collecting dA's stamps) can be found on the userpage ~deviantStamps. I still expect lots of stamps to be submit by you all...

I got a 3 month subscription from @radioPooh. I was so unbelievably happy with it! Thanks so much @radioPooh .

As you can see in my gallery I too had made a tribute to °jark but I was to late to submit it to JARKpack (organised by some people in #terragen).

As you can see this is my first decent journal entry. I made me some images for it. I hope you like them, feel free to open your mind in whatever means you have to contact me.

A few days ago it was (as you probably know) dA's 5th birthday. I had a superb time in #devart and #birthday. The amount of love spread over the dA network that day was really overwhelming! .

I also got a 3 month subscription from @radioPooh. I was so unbelievably happy with it! Thanks so much @radioPooh .

That's it for now cya. you all.

From `onestar 's journal:

Okay, folks. Here's the deal.

By now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka °jark, is now a FORMER Staff Member.

I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.

DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.

If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone , with a and a .

We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.

But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.

Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt.
