Normally I don't do contests, but if the person running it is nice and happens to be someone whose acquaintance I've made (if only in the internet way) then I may be persuaded to participate. Plus, the topic wasn't excluding those of us who aren't traditional artists and it interests me. And so this is my entry into *xAerisx's contest; it was fun.
The theme was 'white' and while our patron says that for her, white inspires thoughts of snow, purity and lace, white for me has always had a feeling of loss, or a sense of sadness. So here we have the starfish, frozen in ice, holding dear her last treasure -- made all the more precious by the loss of all others.
[Edit: Won the contest. Thanks to everyone who participated!]
When I first looked my focus went straight to the diamond in the center of the starfish. Interesting how our perspectives on a piece change depending on our focus. Very nice work, really makes me think of ice and the north.

What would firefighters do if the fire hydrants were on fire?
the outside bit is very "cuddly" feeling... like big clusters of delicate petals. the starfish is very cutie patotie and happy feeling to me and then the dimond... the dimond is not happy.. not happy at all... very sad and kinda angry at someone..
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
Hello there! This news article is the result of a thumb share thread I posted few days ago on the dA forum along with pictures from my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.

I love art with a story behind it.

Occasionally, by accident, I am a jerk. When I am, please let me know, and, if the situation warrants it, hit me with a blunt object.

I really don't know what else to say.

We, as humans, were given a voice to speak. To bottle up your feelings is to murder the spirit.
It looks like a kid making a snow angel. Makes me think about what winters up here have been.
The star feels loving.
It's the diamond that's cold.
