3 Months To Go

Journal Entry: Sat May 24, 2008, 9:39 PM
Inspiration and Motivation


Yes, folks, its going to be a long summer.

I have several collaboration projects that were sent out and are currently awaiting return for completion processes and editing. When this will occur I do not know but at least it will give you something to look forward to in the meantime.

As far as my mention of "3 Months To Go" I am referring to my tentative date for graduation. It seems like only yesterday I began classes to enter the legal field and change up my career interests. Now, following a continued 4.0 average, I am in the midst of deciding on which legal field I will take when finding yet another job after school is complete.

If all goes well I might be able to save enough money to actually buy some interesting drawing tools and even spend a few dollars on some DA print purchases. I have my eye on quite a few images on here, but be patient because there are still tons of school loans that will need to be attended to first.

Keep me inspired and don't feel that I am neglecting you this summer if my appearance or feedback is lacking. Classes, internship, work time, and finals will be my main objectives until August rolls around.

If I don't speak with you before then, have a great summer!!

DA Artist Spotlight

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 11, 2008, 1:22 PM
Inspiration and Motivation



At random, I have decided to spotlight some of my DA friends for your viewing pleasure. They are both an inspiration to my own work as well as a motivational tool to keep me going. These artists show talents and abilities that add a signature quality to their work. Some styles can be duplicated and enhanced, but most of these artists' works can be plainly spotted and discerned from the rest.

Please, take the time to visit their galleries and view the many styles that they have so kindly shared with the rest of us.

Thanks for stopping by.

Art Jam Completed!!

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 16, 2008, 11:15 PM
UPDATE: Dirty & Dangerous Art Jam


Its Finally Here!!

:bulletpurple:   I apologize for the recent delay in posting the community collage but some artists, either by default or lack of interest, have recently been removed from contributing to the Dirty & Dangerous Art Jam. I had been waiting for over 2 weeks for a response. Due to this situation I was unable to complete the collage at this point. Now its done!!



Again, my apologies to those artists who took the time to contribute and kept in contact throughout the process. For those who have been disrespected by the inactive artists I apology for that as well. I will do my best to get your work posted as soon as possible.

Thank you, again for your patience and understanding.

~ Pete

NOTE:   All persons who signed up before the deadline and have not turned in their artwork at this point are NOT guaranteed a spot in the collage due to lack of communications or otherwise. The names and links of those artists have been removed from the participation list.

This will be the last community project to be sponsored by me, until further notice.

Special Thanks for a New Subscription Gift!!

Just want to give a shout to :iconsphilr: for showing some great Deviant Love by presenting me with a 3 mo. subscription. His random acts of kindness are a great inspiration to the rest of us and a much appreciated contribution to the DA community.

In case you haven't had the fortune of discovering his talents, this fellow artist is an astounding creator of surrealism with a wide range of style and depth mixed with intense metaphores. I highly recommend stopping by and viewing his gallery. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

:jawdrop: Its Almost Complete!!

:bulletpurple:   Well, it's been fun gathering ideas and contributions for the latest DA Collaboration Project / Art Jam. We have accumulated a fine list of artists and drawings when the jam ended on Thursday, January 31st. I am just waiting for the last images to be completed and added to the folder for the finished collage. Make sure you stop back to check out the updates and completed collage in the next couple of weeks.

NOTE:   All persons who signed up before the deadline are still guaranteed a spot in the collage.

UPDATE: Dirty & Dangerous Art Jam

*(see Current Entries listed below)

:spotlight-left: ART JAM - FAQ's

:bulletred: WHAT is this Art Jam?
The idea is to design your favorite Dirty & Dangerous Female for the project. Any type of character may be used - original characters, movie star/icon/heroines, action comic heroines, fantasy characters, real persons or otherwise. I just want to see drawings and imagery of the most vicious and beautiful woman that you can create. I don't care if they are monsters, demons, your neighbor, ex-girlfriend or otherwise...lol.

:bulletgreen: HOW should characters be posed?
Characters can be in a fetish or combat pose; weapons or no weapons; dead or alive; killers or saviors; real or cartoon; sci-fi or fantasy genre; it doesn't matter, just as long as they are dirty and dangerous, giving the viewer a reason to shudder with both lust and fear.

:bulletblue: WHO can participate and submit images?
The Art Jam is open to all DA members. Entries for participation in the Dangerous Females Project should either be noted in the comments area of this journal or in a private note. Designs and drawings can be either lines/shade or colored, just as long as there is no background added, as these will all be used in one piece when everyone is finished.

* (I will be posting updates of deviant icons and characters as they are added to this project.)

:bulletred: WHEN are the images due?
Deadline for entries will be January 30th, 2008. So, this should give everyone enough time to get some ideas together for this project. Good luck and feel free to share your comments and ideas.

BIH: A Book Review

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 16, 2007, 12:37 PM


If you enjoy reading short horror stories and share a love of dark & twisted artwork, then it would suffice to say that you might enjoy the nirvana of having such stories brought to life by having insanely demented illustrations included with each story. Wouldn't you?

In case you all haven't heard, Black Ink Horror, a new horror fiction and art digest, came out on the market in Jan. 2007, that boasted to feature some of the best unknown talent of writers and artists that it could find. Well, they did.

Though this book styled digest may state that it is a magazine, it is anything but that. Its not one of those publications that you can just roll up and stuff in your back pocket nor is it the sort that lays on the bathroom floor for some easy reading. This is a book, no matter what anyone tells you. From the time that you pick it up and hold it in your hands you will notice that it was published with a high-quality of craftsmanship with a thick and laminated cover and the paper weight of the pages is equal to that of a hardbound book.

If you plan to buy anything for your demented friends or relatives this holiday season, make that gift a copy of Black Ink Horror. Start a New Year resolution that includes reading the latest dark fiction and viewing graphic illustrations by some of the greatest up-and-coming talents in horror.
