They say a picture can do the same work as a thousand words, or something along those lines. I forget the specific verb. But a picture can't tell you that. A picture can't get under a character's skin and tell you what they're thinking; a picture can't tell a proper story. It can show you a snapshot in time, maybe even depict part of a story or a really short one if it's very good, but it can't tell you everything. That's why I prefer the written word to any number of pictures. I can appreciate pictures or photos for their aesthetic appeal, but I much prefer writing. Just thought I'd write that down.
CALL IT ATLANTOPIA, YOU LOVELY-PERSON! Oh right, I meant to tell you, that in the spirit of your emmi -- or is it immi? -- gration to the country of Lovely, I too have become a Lovelian...er Lovely. (Not to be confused with Lovecraftian)

Oh, you posted here. I'm still discovering the weird and wonderful ways you can communicate over DeviantArt. Anyway, Atlantopia does sound good. Can't promise you'll see anything in the near future, though; I decided I'd have a go at turning Pretty Nifty into a half-hour script and see if I could sell it to the BBC. You never know...
The proverb says: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Yuki says: When life is bananas, make banana splits. I say: When life gives you lemons, take them back and demand a refund. Then go out and get some marshmallows or something.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
