Journal Update

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 11, 2009, 8:12 PM
We live and learn . . . editing a journal from more than one workstation causes a log-out and loss of data. So, restarting the edit for November, I'll repeat from memory most of what I wanted to say about not having enough time to do this the first time.

First and foremost, for those I featured in October, I hope that in some small measure there was a benefit in the form of a few more page visits, a favorite or two, perhaps a watch; although most are too young to receive a Gold Timex (a US retirement joke). What's the criteria for selection? Well, I'm easy! Imagination - an innovative way of looking at everyday things; a new perspective on daily life; a humorous spin on sensitive or inappropriate subjects; an appreciation of beauty; a tribute to those who have blazed earlier trails; something riotously funny or unexpected; an evocative or emotionally touching image, poem, or story; or any combination thereof that catches the eye or psyche. For what it's worth, being featured is the closest thing I can provide to real recognition and a thank you to those whose schedules are already full, but they still have the time to share their creativity with the rest of DA's struggling artist family. Every success to those who have been featured, to those who will be, and to those whose pages I might not be fortunate enough to have seen so far.

And again, a thank you to those who have been featured . . . they include:

The newest round of members of the DeviantART family to be featured include the following:

:iconbark:

An artist with a deeply complex vision and the ability to state that complexity in richly detailed images with an enigmatic and haunting edge.

:iconfangfingers:

Further to that same subject of complex vision, add variety and you have fangfingers who sets an aging and inaccurate axiom on its ear. Yes there is such a thing as Jack of All Trades and Master Thereof . . .

:iconlonswood:

If you never saw Apple Annie, the caricature made from a dried apple, or the age of whimsical carvings spawned by artist colonies dotting the Mendocino coast, then this is your chance to make up for lost time and then some. Lonswood's visions in carvings and clay bring the characters of Grieg's and Mendelssohn's music to life. Don't miss his page - that's an order . . .

:icondastotenkopf:

Photographer and auto enthusiast, DasTotenkopf has managed to assemble a growing collection of the finest images from Detroit's era of chrome and iron - among many fine pictures. Thank you for recording this memorial to an age of creative innovation effectively concealing under elaborate hood ornaments the effects of Detroit's growing class of beancounters who nearly killed the US auto industry with their motto: "There is no substitute for quality, we know, we've tried it all." (The Tappet Brothers).

The toughest thing about making a selection from the reservoir of talent is keeping it to four. The November entry, though late, has the best of intentions at heart as it attempts to provide both praise and healthy shove in the direction of productivity. Keep up the great work, your next submissions are eagerly awaited :)
