Art for someone in your life - call for artists"Would you like to help end violence against women? "Someone in your Life" is looking for artists to help with our crowdfunding campaign!
45% of women in the UK experience sexual assault, domestic violence or stalking. That's practically one in every two women subjected to violence simply for being a woman. But numbers are too abstract; too easy to ignore. So here's what I want you to do. Walk into a room, any room, and count the women. Now try to imagine that half of those women in the room with you, half of any arbitrary group of women, will have experienced horrific acts of gender-based violence at some point in their life. Think of the women in your life: your mother, your sister, your partner, your daughter, your best friend. Half of them have or will at some point experience violence because they are women. This not about some abstract 45%, some women "out there". This is about someone in your life.
Someone In Your Life aims to give women a space to speak out and tell their stori

Love the Stache!Hi everyone

Movember is quickly coming to a close and the shave-off events are eagerly awaited by our Mo'Bros who have suffered through all sorts of mo-mishaps over the last 28 days. For those of you that have participated, I thank you and ask you to make the last two days really count and reach out to your friends and families for those last minute donations.
For the rest of you, I am making this final push on behalf of all of the deviantART Sta.sh teams to request that you reach into your pockets and make a donation, regardless of how big or small, to the Movember effort. I realize how hard this may be considering you're likely broke after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but should you find a dollar or two - we would greatly appreciate your donation

The amount isn’t important, every little bit helps Movember continue its funding of world-class programs. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit

This new feature makes it easier to submit Premium Content by allowing you to upload multiple files at once. On top of that, because files uploaded to Sta.sh can be attached as Premium Content, you can now include Sta.sh Writer and deviantART muro files as part of your downloadable content!

PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the LegendDaily Deviations, or DDs . . . for some deviants, receiving one is the epitome of awesomesauce in the deviantART world. For others, they are a nice way to show off the work of lesser-known artists. Still others treat them as a special way to bring attention to great art that exemplifies works being done by a particular gallery or community.
Perhaps because there are so many different ways of conceptualizing DDs, there are also many myths and misconceptions. I would like to address some of those myths by responding to the ones most frequently heard. Please note that these opinions are mine and reflect my experiences with the photomanipulation community, but perhaps they will be informative nevertheless.
Myth 1: DDs should always be perfect.
To many of us, the ideal Daily Deviation goes to an artist with amazing talent whose work draws you in and makes you think, "Wow, everyone needs to see this!" A DD should move you, inspire you, and provoke you to think, b

Deviousness Award Interview with JoseFelipeMWhat is this Awesome Achievement?
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out
on the 1st of every month to one truly outstanding deviant.
The Deviousness Award for January 2013 goes to `JoseFelipeM.

Hello JoseFelipe! Please give us a quick introduction of who you are, in and outside DA.
Hey Thiefo!

On deviantART, I am `JoseFelipeM, a senior member for a bit more than six months. I recently received the Deviousness Award (obviously

that's what this interview is for) and `TimberClipse pointed out that not only am I the youngest senior, but I took his spot as youngest Deviousness Award Recipient! I am more of an art appreciator than an

!~*=`^$ What's that symbol in front of my name?Introduction
Every user on deviantART has a certain symbol in front of their name, and their symbol represents what "type" of account they have, or what "role" they play in the community.
In :faq106:, you can read who has what symbol, but I don't think that FAQ does a very good job as far as educating people on what the symbols actually mean.
So I hope to be able to write good definitions for the most common user symbols in this article!

Symbols available to anybody:
There are four symbols which can be obtained by anyone who has a deviantART account. This doesn't mean you can choose which of these symbols you want to have, but means that it's possible for anybody can to meet the criteria to have the symbol if they desire.
!username - Closed Account
Accounts get an ! before their name under the following circumstances:

The user voluntarily deactivated their account.

UPDATE PLEASE READ - 100 Premiums Project

Sat Sep 15, 2012, 4:40 PM

Please this Journal so everyone can see it!

Hey everyone!

First of all, I have to say how proud I am of all of you! You have done great in helping me collect the 63,600 points needed to give out 100 Premium Memberships!

For those of you who do not know, I, `JoseFelipeM am collecting 63,600 points in order to give 100 3-month premium memberships to other deviants this holiday season. The purpose is for you and other deviants to donate and spread the word and holiday cheer!

Now I will be giving you all an update on what's going on!

We are over 26,000 points in to the project which is amazing!

However, it is not enough.
I know what you're thinking. "It's just September!" but if you think about it, that means 3 months until December, which really is not a lot.

Right now we need 36,882 points to complete the project. It may sound like a lot but we can get there with a simple technique.

If 1,476 deviants donate just 25 points, we will have a total of just over 63,600 points.

This is crazy cool! 1,476 deviants is a very small portion of the users deviantART has.

So now that you see how easy it is to complete this project, what can you do to help?

Donate 25 (or more) points to me, `JoseFelipeM!
Favourite this Journal so hundreds, if not thousands of deviants can see it, too!
Make a Journal and/or poll showcasing this article! (Make sure you link/thumb it. )
Encourage your friends to donate!

Discuss!
How do you think the Premium Memberships should be given out and why?

Thanks for reading and I know we can do this!

Love and thanks,
`JoseFelipeM

Please this Journal so everyone can see it!

I'm really glad that such members exists on deviantART, I have seen such events from the past too, it's nice to see people helping each other, and proving that deviantART is not about trolling around and that we actually help each other.

I, even though I never donated for points, gave all the points that I have gotten from other people on deviantART from my donate pool and from other things, it's not many, it's actually really few and I wish I could help more.

Anyway, I hope that the event will gather all the points that is needed and make some deviant members happy, good luck!

What do you think?

This is great. It's nice to know there are many nice people out here in the deviantART community. It is so thoughtful to give out premium memberships to random deviants, just to be nice. The goal is great. I can sadly only send out so many points to this project, but I do encourage it! This is so sweet of you. And also to the people who donate. I'm sure that you will just imagine the look on someone's face as they see they got a premium membership out of nowhere, knowing that many deviants, including you, contributed to their joy.

God Bless you all.
