WritersForArt Features - Issue 1

~WritersForArt:iconWritersForArt: reports, May 13, 2007
WritersForArt Features - Issue 1

*WritersForArt is a club helping to link the literature community with the other art communities:
We would like to invite you all to become members of this delightful concept - that of using your literary skills to comment on artistic work in a creative manner, rather than the bog standard critique. A poem, a short ditty, a humorous anecdote or just a witty interpretation. These are the things that we encourage here.

We are very glad to present you our first selection of features.

Every featured artist is introduced by a comment of one of the Founders of WritersForArt and 4 thumbs representing the featured artist's gallery.

Traditional Art

:iconrsboswell:

Featured artist: *RSBoswell

Comment by *Amberlouie


"RSBoswell's 38-piece gallery provides a fantastic blend, paintings of scenery and every-day stills. These exceptional paintings depict a certain depth - a concept behind a concept. RSBoswell's work shows his expanse of skills and sensitive perception to the world."

Representative thumbs:





Digital Art

:icondazzled:

Featured artist: ~dazzled

Comment by *AbCat


"Dazzled first began submitting artwork in 2002, and submitted work sporadically over the next three years, culminating in the 'Adventures of Wulag', a beautiful series of digital pieces charting the escapades of Wulag the goblin. He still pops on to dA from time to time, and will certainly be there to appreciate any comments which come his way.
He also has a small site which is mostly for German speakers, but features more of his recent work."


Representative thumbs:





Artisan Craft

:iconsojourncuriosities:

Featured artist: ~sojourncuriosities

Comment by *FelixT


"Our Artisan Craft feature sojourncuriosities is a very skilled jewellery artist. She has a variety of pieces in her gallery that are of different style, concept and colour. Her works include modern, elegant rings as well as classic, noble works. Also there are unique and interesting crafts of owls and dinosaurs, bikes and anchors. Overall the gallery can be a good inspiration as of its variety of themes and styles."

WriterForArt is free for all!

We would like to invite you to visit the WritersForArt chat room to talk to our Members and Founders. And of course you are very welcome to join our club. For more information visit the *WritersForArt page.
