Devious Journal Entry

I have decided my hiatus will end after the holidays, so expect new work sometime in January, thanks to everyone for all your support--I have 5,000 pageviews! :heart:

Hiatus

Sun Nov 29, 2009, 4:39 PM
I'm starting to really re-evaluate why I'm at this website. I'm taking a hiatus for the Holidays so I will be posting little to nothing for a while. I am planning on either creating a professional personal website, since I now have a job as a website and graphics developer, or I will simply be stripping the internet of my recent works. I have never have problems with theft in the past but I am not a creative artist, nor have I ever claimed to be. I plan on working in fashion and advertising because I need to make MONEY. And I will not be dabbling much in fine art photography unless assigned to by my classes (I am taking a studio photography course in the spring). I have never claimed to care much about art, I'm not into any other kinds of art, I'm not into "deeper meanings" or "analysis" other than aesthetic critiquing. I'm a little annoyed by this being more and more like facebook or mysapce--I already have a fb, I don't need another one. I may or may not choose to stay here and share anything but it will definitely be less than in the past. I'm probably commiting DA suicide right now and many of my watchers will either not even read this because they hardly even know who I am or be annoyed about my devil-may-care attitude about DA. It did its work when I was younger and wanted feeback but now I feel I can make it in the world without needing the false reassurance that my work is good by people "faving" it. I greatly appreciate all the comments and watchers and everything and even the favs but I just feel I don't need it anymore. We'll see what happens after the end of the year but right now I'm saying a goodbye-for-now.

So, love me or hate me, I'm still going to say it:

Who else is totally weird-ed out by the fame of Twilight? I read the books when they FIRST came out (on;y the first 3, I gave up after that), and if you'd have asked me then I would have been 99.9% sure that these books would never even see the light of fame and now there are MOVIES!? Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the worst thing ever, and I'm not a hater or anti-twilight I just don't give a damn and I don't get why people actually care about this stuff. Vampires have ALWAYS been over rated except in their cult followings. It's not hot, it's not attractive, and frankly, I wish people would get over their obsessions with finding a guy like Edward because it's NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. It makes me laugh... a lot when I hear about "team edward and jacob" because neither of these boys (BOYS NOT MEN!) are realistic or attractive (besides physically). I vote that everyone try to find men who are the OPPOSITE of their Twi-Fantasy. I have no problem with liking these books for what they are: ENTERTAINMENT, it's like soap operas and bad talk shows, they are a guilty pleasure... Am I going to see the movie? Probably, it looks ENTERTAINING. And I LIKE things that are entertaining. But beyond that, I'm out.

What has happened to this world that we actually create a pop culture phenomenon out of badly written novels? It just goes to show the level of desperation in our society, and maybe that's really the heart of it all: teen girls are shallow and desperate for something they know is unrealistic, and I think that's just sad.

RANT OVER. Comments are welcome. I usually don't post this kind of thing but New Moon has been a tranding topic on twitter for months, and this is what it comes down to.

On a note of my art, I WILL be continuing to post newer works as I have been but I am getting sick of self-portraits, so anyone that would like to vote for what I should do next, please comment with any suggestions of things you'd like to see from me. Love you all, thank you SO much for the support, I've been getting so many favs and comments especially on "shallow sunrise" which is a huge surprise because I wasn't too fond of that piece when I uploaded it but I'm so grateful for the feedback. I wish that I could respond to everyone's comments but I cannot so here is my THANKS to anyone who is reading this, who follows my work, and comments/favs. :heart: Love you all. Ciao.

I have decided that if I am going to keep up with my art on DA, there were some changes I needed to make. Basically, I deleted a good portion of my gallery because I feel that those pieces were not up to par with my current style of work, so I apologize if I deleted any pieces anyone here was particularly fond of. I am working on many new projects so keep an eye out for new work as I upload it.
