Premium Membership Almost Over + Big Feature

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 17, 2013, 9:30 AM
Hello friends!

My premium membership given by =ozonablue is running out soon.  I must say, it's been a 
pretty awesome ride.  I can't thank him enough, and sent him a personal thank you note to express my 
gratitude.  Honestly, I can't even believe that it's been THREE years since I've joined DA.  I remember 
when I first became a member, I wasn't very active on the site because I didn't know how to get 
involved.  But gradually, I started making photo-manipulation, joining to different groups and talking 
to people with the same interests as me. 

This might be my last journal as a premium member. I think I won't extend it in the near future 
because of my limited financial budget. I am also very grateful to the people who donated and made me 
experience Premium Membership for year! I just want to thank everyone for their continuing support, 
and I hope I have provided the same for you.  I'm definitely looking forward to the next 2 years, and 
how much I'll grow in that time! 

I haven't been as active as I would like, but I'm definitely going to be finding time to create more things 
for you guys, comment and also favorite your works as they inspire me. Thank you!

Here's some beautiful works around DA! Hope you enjoy them as I have:

Engaged (:

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 16, 2013, 12:01 AM
Hello Friends and fellow artist! Jenius is back!!! I have been so busy with my life. I got engaged this month with ~Primedo and I couldn't be happier. So after four years of being with my boyfriend, now fiance.

There are also disappointments last year but I guess life does not always give you what you want, but if you look closely you will see that it gives what you need for growth. Just take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave. So I still want to stay positive because I know, good things will come. So I am back with doing artworks. I might do some book covers or webpages. Who knows? (:

SOME COMPLAINTS + FEATURE

Sat Oct 27, 2012, 9:17 AM


Hello my friends!

How are you doing? Sorry for not submitting much art nowadays. I have been busy learning High End retouching and several projects that I´m working on! It's pretty awesome because I learnt some techniques! So excited with them, can´t wait to share it with you guys! Don't worry because I always check out your new arts. I'm quite sad and disappointed though because whenever I browse photo-manipulation categories, all I can see are porn manips and its not so good. I crave for inspiring arts. Who does not? Is there any way to stop it?

Think your art is 'unique' or 'original'?

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 31, 2012, 11:20 AM


Hello Fellas!

I have noticed that this site has changed (again) every time I am away. Is this intentional or what? I like the changes though, especially when browsing because it got much easier.

---

So, here's a thing to discuss on. I stumbled into this quotation of Jim Jarmusch, an independent film actor and director, "Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old Films, New films, Music, Books, Paintings, Photographs, Poems, Dreams, Random Conversations, Architecture, Bridges, Street Signs, Trees, Clouds, Bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticty is invaluable; Originality is nonexistent. And don't bother concealing your thievery--celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from--It's where you take them to."

Do you agree that 'Originality is nonexistent? How would you differentiate originality from uniqueness? Do you believe that everything in art has been done, redone, and overdone?

FEATURE # 17!

"Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life. Psychologically speaking, to discover something mysterious in objects is a symptom of cerebral abnormality related to certain kinds of insanity. I believe, however, that such abnormal moments can be found in everyone, and it is all the more fortunate when they occur in individuals with creative talent or with clairvoyant powers. Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men." -- Giorgio de Chirico

I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
