HACKER! OAOhi this is VERY IMPORTANT!
OK, so many of you have heard this already, but there's a hacker going around on DA, he's getting into peoples accounts, and even worse, he deactivates them completely. There is a way to avoid this though, if you ever get an email from nobody@Da.com or something like that, asking you to change your passwords, don't do it, it's a trick to get your account hacked, just delete the email as soon as possible.
and now onto worse matters, below is a message (from microsoft I believe) that is warning people of a massive hacker, and the steps you need to take to stop him from getting you. I would like to thank for getting this info.
IF A PERSON CALLED SIMON ASHTON ( SIMON25@HOTMAIL.CO.UK ) CONTACTS YOU THROUGH EMAIL DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE. DELETE IT BECAUSE HE IS A HACKER!!
TELL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM THEN YOU WILL GET HIM ON YOUR LIST. HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN

IM GOING TO BE A GODDESS

Ok so i was in my Social Studies when i was called on to be Thetis in a Greek play i didn't know who was King Prometheus so i said yea ill do it! After school my best friend walks up to me saying the king is the guy you are dating! So like girls we both screamed in the hall (bad idea guys never do it) Then a stupid teacher walks up saying "stop screaming like puppies"! So we both left and walked outside it was like death then i say him and he started walking at me (so cute of a guy) but still he was walking at me then was like "yea your going to marry me in a play and in real life nice"of course i started laughing like us girls do. (you guys shouldn't be hatin) So i was like who are you (i knew who he was i just wanted him to tell me)"oh I'm King Prometheus"we started talking then my X walks up and slaps my Boy Friend in the face and said "i should of got that damn part not you bitch"So they started fighting and here i am trying to break it up until my best friend comes up and screams STOP!! (so funny but it was right behind me)so they stopped my X went him way and i conferred my bot friend.

2011 As Seen Through Art

Mon Jan 9, 2012, 8:13 PM

When a major world event occurs, human beings naturally gravitate together, express feelings, and share memories. And while news websites have a responsibility to present stories as a matter of fact, deviantART has the unique ability to showcase emotions and humanity through art.

2011 was full of emotional events the world around, and our community responded at unprecedented levels. From natural disasters to historical celebrations, entertainment milestones to tearful goodbyes, our community spoke out like no other community can — artistically, creatively, and emotionally. In many ways, last year marked the final chapter of a few eras, opening the door to new beginnings for 2012. Let's take a look...

January

Tunisia...The Revolution by ~maxspidder

The Egyptian Revolution by ~Moesherif

February

Arianna Huffington by ~NickJustus

Zelda 25th Anniversary Tribute by ~J2Dstar

Libya, 2011

i. cartography

revolutions
fly east, a
21st century
trans-saharan
trade, where
the desert
grit-wind
blows. the sahara
kicks sandstorms,
brief, wavering
oases, gashes
into the skin
of your people.

brega falls.
the westerners
arrive in time
for benghazi,
and your land
bends subject
to sanded annals
of hindsight
battle jargon.
routed. ras anuf, lost.
two killed, five wounded,
one missing.

ii. ajdabiya

a boy
spray-paints
viva la libye
under the overpass.
you crunch
over bottles
and brown grass,
wait. he turns,
the rebel flag
tied around
his head:
red, black,
true green.
grab a gun,
you say.
a fighter plane
roars overhead.
his eyes
are dark
and young.
grab a gun,
or go home.

he fancies himself
a revolutionary;
you fancy him
stupid. and thank
allah, you think,
as he hesitates
before flipping
over the fence,
he is afraid.

iii. the government channel

everything is okay.
flash green.
fine, okay,
everything
in its place. the
newscaster's eyes
run black. flash
green. flash green.

iv. great socialist people's libyan arab jamahiriya

he would
have you
as terrorists
in your own
country. his
spokesman, mid-speech,
pauses. he sweats.

they say
these bullets
touch humans
for the first
time. five inches
in your brother's
leg. flash green.

v. the news

"even his mother
could not spell
his name,"
she mutters,
rolling her eyes.
you mess
your daughter's
hair. short moment
of laughter.

vi. the parisian summit

his son, they say,
and raise
their eyebrows,
sip water,
pass copies
of his letter
to a foreign
president. the
lady american
mutters something
about the republicans
loving this. the
africans peacekeep
on their own
continent; they
roll tanks
and order lunch.

vii. the road

in egypt,
they vote
on their next
coup. your
brother, back
from medical
school, teaches
the younger boys
how to roll
cigarettes
in the bed
of the truck.
you snort
and stop
at the gas station,
come out
with a pack
hitting your palm.
I buy quality,
you say, grinning;
your brother
scowls. you
tell the boys
to watch
his leg
and themselves.
you rumble
into tripoli, and
a few of you
return. the desert
blows around
your feet.

viii. ghibli

and you
will know us
by the wind
that dries
our blood
and carries
our names.

Aristotle once said that "the aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance, and this, and not the external manner and detail, is true reality." With over 190,000,000 works of art on deviantART, it's truly humbling to see art exemplify cross-sections of society and creatively embody the reality of experiences we all watched unfolding in front of us. As we look forward to a safe, healthy, and happy new year, we leave you with this question:

Do you think art imitates life or life imitates art?

There was a pause long enough for me to exhale. “I don’t either.” I said. He understood. “But I think I can let you.

A ghost town in ruins, each house missing a roof or a wall, sometimes just stripped down to its foundation, and an impermeable layer of black smog hanging around its streets. Some people say it was ravaged in the war a few years back, and some say that everyone just left one day, and the still-lit empty houses tore themselves apart in their loneliness. One stayed behind.

TWENTY Issue XVI - Pixel by pixel!

by `hypermind, Apr 29, 2005, 5:13:56 AM
Journals / deviantART, Inc. / Hot Topics

It is time for another issue of TWENTY, the spotlight that features twenty great artists in deviantART.
Twice a month, we showcase 5 works by 20 artists from all the realms of deviantART.  No restrictions at all, other than the self-imposed one mentioned further down.  We will focus mainly on unknown artists within deviantART.
That way,  you will be able to see the talent that lies in the depths of the galleries.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the last issue of Twenty was not released, so to make up for it we give you a special pixel edition!
This latest issue features some of the greatest and most interesting pieces of pixel art you can see here on deviantART!

You will notice the lack of literature in TWENTY. The explanation is quite simple: We feel more comfortable around visual artwork and trust that our friends over at ~suture are better qualified to pick great literature from and for the community.

Without further ado, here is the art!

frostedflames

Breaking the ice for this issue, here is ~frostedflames. A Winamp skinner of great skill, his minimalistic skins don't cease to be sleek and wonderful to admire. Clean is the name of the game for ~frostedflames.

stuk

~stuk's specialty seems to be glass. His relatively small gallery is not without quality artisan work. Shapes, forms, and colors make his craft worth checking out.

marine-artist-james

~marine-artist-james is.....well....a marine painter! His traditional paintings are nothing short of amazing. These are the kind of paintings that can be confused with a photograph. The level of detail and effort that goes into these paintings is sure to......blow you out of the water!

Pitaman

~Pitaman brings some excellent vector illustrations to this issue. From portraits to grafitti, this artist is worth a look!

:bigthumb15651567:

serVI

~serVI has some gorgeous skins in his gallery. And not just for Windows, you can find some Linux skins there, too! Sleek and detailed, the wide color selection of his skins make it hard to find a skin that doesnt suit your tastes.

blue-fusion

It will take quite a while to sort through ~blue-fusion's extensive gallery. His works are extremely diverse with colors, designs, and themes. Truly worthy of a visit.

stanleehouston

Quality character work is what you'll find in ~stanleehouston's gallery. He does an excellent job at depicting some of our favorite characters from comics, movies, and more.

Desert-Of-Seth

Fantasy is what you'll find in ~Desert-Of-Seth's gallery. Great coloration and brushwork make for excellent artwork. Needless to say, you will regret missing out the full views.

The style of ~aaronravensoul is loose yet fun and detailed. Key elements for illustrators, along with knowledge in the use of colors, which is evident in his artwork.

StillWater--

Design, skins, and photography. Not your common combination, especially when the skins involved arent human skins.

Elengwat

It's hard not to browse *Elengwat's gallery and think of Luis Royo when looking at some of his fantastic pieces. This deviant shows great skill with traditional media, and that makes him worth a visit!

The photography that ~sisterjameela shares with us ranges from great conceptual artwork to wonderful portraits. There is a certain element of cleanliness in all of her work, which is a must-see.

GUDsine

One of the most impressive things that you can find in ~GUDsine's gallery are, without a doubt, his drawings. Both digital and traditional (airbrushed, no less), his creatures and hybrids will please any monster enthusiast.

Closing this edition, another skinner, ~am3000, delivers some great skins. As if that wasn't enough, excellent wallpapers grace his gallery, too. It takes design skill to produce such material, and ~am3000 sure has it!
