This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Indeed we are interested Finally I see your work in close detail. It is SO beautiful (to me that is)
Like I told you....this is Heaven to me.
There is one other artist here I can say this of: , look at her "Grow and Decay II" [link] yep.....indeed....Heaven. This is where our dreams come from...this is inside of each of us...and you two are truly very gifted to show us these unbelievable INsights! AWESOME!

You are welcome for the comment and favorites and thanks for liking my website. I am very interested in the evolution of your abstract surreal graphite pieces.
I mostly hangout at Facebook. Look me up if you are also on Facebook.

"A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants." -- Tao Te Ching
Bravo -- your expression is masterful and captures a sublimity of depth and beauty.
Beauty is something I have found sadly absent from much, or most, of what is proffered under the banner of surrealism. Rather, it seems that the grotesque and morbid are en vogue. In some cases this may be an honest expression of what we are, and true to the history of the surrealist movement; in other cases it seems like gratuitous mimicry. Perhaps, in the spirit of the Tao Te Ching, we must become beautiful before we can unintentionally, or intuitively produce what is beautiful; provided we also have some mastery of the medium. It may even be accurate to speak of transcending the dualism of artist and medium, such that the graphite and paper become extensions of the artist.
Anyways, forgive my verbosity in expressing the path I have attempted to embark upon recently in my own work. Mind you, my feeble attempts thus far have been more the recapitulation of ingrained forms than pure expression. I have a dozen or so completed pieces in the queue that I hope to gradually upload as part of an anthology of this journey.
