Of Snow

Dihydrogen monoxide (when cold) is a slow and steady thing. A six-fold miracle, hiding cruelty (hiding grace) in microscopic smallness, only realised as we watch it coalesce to melt on a tongue, warm with life, to shroud the grass and the roofs and the roads, to pillow the pocked and fretted earth, and make it smooth again. To cover the eyelids of the dead, indiscriminate as dust.

Hidden Fractalist Interview - Esherymack

Hello to everyone reading this journal! Before we move on to the interview itself, some of you may ask yourselves questions such as, ‘What is fractal art?’ or ‘Who are ‘fractalists’?’ Let me provide you with a very brief introduction. According to the Oxford Dictionary, fractal is a curve or geometrical figure in which each part shares the same statistical characteristics as the whole. These structures can be found throughout nature, including in plants, minerals, and even in different states of matter such as gas (smoke), liquid (waves), or solid (snowflakes). In simpler terms, Fractal Art refers to fractals presented as an art form, created using fractal-generating software. Term "Fractalist" consists simply of the two words - fractal, and artist. If you would like to know a little bit more, I recommend these brief, yet informative journals by C-91 and tatasz. Finally, welcome to the latest issue of a project called Hidden Fractalist, led by me, @LukasFractalizator. I initiated

For My Own Safety

Announcing The Fan Fiction Article. Fan art and fan fiction, like the offering above, are a blast because artists get to wear their favorite stories; in my case the iconic "Blade Runner." Fan fiction and art are the new fashion. .techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) by techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) I prefaced a recent article Eye See Therefore Eye Am, with a quote from Roy Batty, the doomed replicant (android) who was given human emotions to be able to appreciate all the wonders of life, including the visual, but afforded only four years of lifespan to enjoy them. time to die, roy batty by anjinanhut (https://www.deviantart.com/anjinanhut) "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Maybe you're not aware of the variety of ways people join the volunteer team.  As per FAQ #85: Can I be a volunteer on deviantAR

Some of you may have noticed that we've removed search in favorites. Unfortunately, the feature was one that was expensive to operate and maintain—especially given its relatively low usage. Taking everything into consideration, we've made the difficult decision to retire it for the foreseeable future. We hope to reimplement it in the future in a way that makes it easier to maintain, but have no immediate plans to do so at this time.

re: Eclipse

Note: This journal is now many months old, and a lot of things i talk about here have since been fixed, or at least addressed. Not all of them, mind you; and the gist remains: Eclipse is vastly different from the current “Green Site” and introduces many changes, and not all of them for the better (in my opinion). Feel free to continue to share/mention this journal (you have my thanks!), or read Part II of my analysis. Alright, where do i begin? After having used the Eclipse Beta for a while, i have collected a bunch of thoughts – and i have also submitted lots of them as feedback via the appropriate channels. Regardless, i
