In Memory of Kurt Vonnegut
11/11/1922 - 04/11/2007
I found out recently that Kurt Vonnegut passed away on Wednesday, April 11th 2007. Vonnegut was my favorite author by a great margin above all others, and needless to say, I was rather upset at this loss. He possessed a very unique writing style and talent that I have never witnessed any other author even come close to. So, I felt like making a painting in memory of this man of immense talent.
My Favorite Bokononist calypso from Cat's Cradle
I wanted all things
To seem to make some sense,
So we all could be happy, yes,
Instead of tense.
And I made up lies
So that they all fit nice,
And I made this sad world
A Par-a-dise.
Best Bokononist foma from Cat's Cradle:
"Prosperity is just around the corner"

I'm now off to read one of his most famous works "Slaughterhouse-Five"
Rest in peace Kurt. That is one man who I will miss greatly. But as he always said, he would never wish someone back alive after discovering that life is so full of crock shit.
What a great man
And an amazing book that Cat's Cradle I must add.

We couldn't be more excited with the excellent work that came out of your creative minds. While the above five were truly epic, we also want to thank all deviants who participated. It's times like these when we show the entire world deviantART is home to the best artists on the planet.
As the new GM for Macro Photography, I want to talk to you about the concept of Macro Photography - what it is and what it involves. Also, there are a few guidelines on what's Macro and what isn't.
With a record level of nominations and suggestions on an almost daily basis, it would be hard to ignore the community call to recognise such a fine example of a deviant as `snowmask. Her constant presence since the formative years of deviantART has never wavered, demonstrating a natural ability to seek out and motivate those in need.
Katie's beautifully delicate artworks are elegant and instantly recognisable due to her finely tuned creative style, a clear reflection of her personality. With a multitude of journals which are thought provoking, funny and resourceful, it's impossible not to be touched by such a bright light in our community. Congratulati... Read More
