I'm quite absent at DeviantART recently because I've got my real life to take care for. Things are going nice and soon I'll find some time to paint again. But now I'm busy with arranging our new house. Yes, we moved again but it was only for good.

Now we're living in a lovely XIX-century detached house with a garden at the riverside. Well, what else can I say - we love this place. Especially the attic with a nice sloppy roof. Lately I'm busy with setting all furniture up, 2 things are left - the large cabinet (we need to exchange it first coz the color isn't that what we wanted. This is when you count on someone you shouldn't have

) and the bookcase. But yeah, lots of work to do which I like (running around with the hammer and screwdriver)

It's so much space in here! And it's only few steps to the little lake (pond)

First of all I'm going to paint traditionally again, perhaps using oils this time. Now there's a space to do it as well as to carve the wood which my husband wants to do in the garden soon. Well, it's a nice place to live and to create. Everyday you experience something nice, you find many positive things of everything around. Once we wanted to reach the town hall here but we didn't doublechecked the route. We went to the old part of the town and found so many beautiful spots there. This is all about it. Even if we mixed the way up it turned out so lovely. A bright side of this. The lovely park, the cannel with lots of colorful boats and many things to see in a way. We had a long stroll there and we were completely enchanted. How the things can happen...

Like this I was at the dentist today hehe, impossible things can happen

Anyway - summer is near, so let's rock the place

To all my visitors that have enough time to read the artist's journal (and of course to all that can make the effort of focusing their eyes on more than 1 sentence

): I want to write about one case connected to deviantART... I observed the explosion of new members, mainly teens (average about 13-18) that collect and fav my stamps without visiting the gallery. Some of them are even upset I didn't thank for it or I ignored stupid comments on my gallery wall like: "I like your ... [here place the name] stamp". I'm just asking you, kids: are you here for the art or for stupid stamp collecting? This is the
ART community, created for
ARTists and by
ARTists to unite people with the passion for
ART, to make the discussion about the
ART easy and to allow people to share their experiences in
ART. And that "new" deviantART members think that it's some kind of a myspace shit. You can see it very clearly in the ammount of views, favs and interests about stamps and compare it with the main gallery, the ART gallery. You will see which wins. A stupid stamp collecting! I won't thank you for your comment about my stamp, kids. I won't appreciate your fav on it. Because it's just the stamp, not my art that I've put my heart and soul in it. The same problem is about artists making CSS for others here. Do you appreciate their
ART? Or you just take their CSS without any interest in them as artists? Focusing only on stamps and resources you show your level.
DeviantART is the ART community, not a shitty myspace clone. If you don't get it, kiddos, go away right now, shoo shoo! Having about 800 favs on a stamp is sick and the knowledge that these all people visit artists' galleries only for fav stamps makes me sick. I wish deviantART provided a "faving and collecting disabled" option. I really wish for it! Also stamps are for placing in journals and shoutboards. So I don't get why people just fave them! This is just unbelievable! Creating the stamps on requests for my friends long time ago I didn't think it would turn into such a stamp-fever! And now... What a idiotism! I think I can say for all artists here that you use only as your stamp source, you 'stamp whores' - visit more ART, watch more ART and share more ART like this community encourages you to do giving you a proper space for it. Stop treating this space as a garbage bin with the collection of your silly childish shit that you think your friends will be supposedly soooo damn interested in! "OMG another stamp YAY!"

Go home to mama!
Eviva L'arte! Long live the Art!
ONE MORE THING: This is my journal and I have the right to express my opinion here, if you don't agree with this, write your own over your account. Stop shouting at me using caps just because I expressed my opinion. It's so easy: to come and shout - usually when I don't know you and you pop-up over my page. If you don't agree, it's not my case.I would like to thank to one very special person - to my friend - `
Lilyas. To thank for our great talks and lots of positive energy that we exchange. Words can't express how I'm happy we met each other. Thank you very much, Lily! You're unique and special to me

This will turn out with a little devMeet I ensure you

More journal updates comming soon...The views expressed on this website are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of deviantART or my employers.

I STRESS THAT ALL MY ARTS ARE WATERMARKED - even if you can't see it.
