Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Yep. Keep it Simple Stupid!

A New Year will be along soon and in all things I really want to simplify my life. I guess stuff like astrology, I Ching and such things like religious journalling helps some people get a grasp on the various areas of life, from a New Age / Psychic view. As a born-again Christian and Bible reader I see in the words of God and the movements of the Spirit of God amazing provision for this kind of scaling down as a simple expression of coming to terms with the dimensions of faith with regards to the ultimate spiritual reality of Godhead. Life on Earth reaching forward to ETERNAL LIFE
Profound.... strangely livable, the reflective / engaging part of myself seems to appreciate life-aesthetics. That is why the boy does Art! That isn't to say 'heaven can wait' because in a real sense our actions in life are pre-runs to attitudes we unfold on the other side of the great reckoning .
Keeping it Simple means to me great profundity.

I don't think 'being religious' cuts it at all with the true God. It (religion) is mainly about man-stuff, anger and self-righteousness. 'The wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.'. So Keeping it Simple has to go beyond just what we do. For me it is how we answer the calls of conscience, faith, reality, love, relationships, responsibility and self-identified patterns of growth and their ultimate goals in the big plan of life. Keeping it Simple is actually a Complex Discipline because life is wondrously articulated to us. Being a rockheaded Darwinian evolutionist is to degrade the dignity of our created being (so the goal cannot be merely postmodern existentialism). Whhat ideas do you have about living a sim-ple life... Is it a philosophy of nature. A patgh of the soul, a magical form of thinking? Something else? The digital paper is in your court.

I can't get into the traditional god stuff...humans are too arrogant to understand the nature of anything. The moral precepts of Jesus got him killed and his word was warped by power-hungry assholes. So many have been killed and tortured in the name of religion...none-the less Spirituality is as a sublime thing! Listening to John Coltrane in 1985...I got it!

*fleetofgypsies Jan 11, 2013 Student General Artist

Yeah, but I'm glad my disenchantment with historical events of religion hasn't blunted my simple faith in the Saviour's truth and love to me. My opinion is that Jesus Christ is not just a moral teacher who died but a spiritrual saviour capable of transforming our lives utterly for a greater eternal purpose. Nothing else makes sense to me. I've been there, done that and vomited it all up later... psychicism, hypnotherapy, theosophy, astrology, alternate health stuff, tarot, divination, magic, kabbalah, nihilism, austere mysticism and spiritism, drugs, ... I have listened to a lot of stuff that is 'traditional'. A Christian I think is not claiming perfection, or fighting for a cause... just the opposite.. they are saying they are rotten and need a saviour. If you aren't rotten like me.. Jesus Christ is not for you.

*eyepilot13 Jan 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

In these times people need a unifying moral force of good, the simple yet radical message of Jesus, to me, was warped and perverted by Bishops and Kings and Emperors and politicians to meet their own ends. Like yourself, you see beyond the material, human side used as societal control and an excuse for greed and intolerance...I wish more people saw religion in that light. Personally, raised a catholic educated by mean intolerant nuns who scared the shit out of us...I view religion from a different paradigm...a sense of spirituality missing in our 4Gee new car mass consumption idiocy. I dislike -isms because they tend toward dogmatic intolerance. No one is perfect...that's what makes us human.

Underworld... I think I saw them live in the 90's in NSW. Is that the same guys??? They used to feature a big star on their logo. I like a lot of different kinds of music. Influence is important. Music is Keeping it Simple but it can leave holes that are a bugger to fix up at times.
