`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions
^lovetodeviate
reports, September 28
reports, September 28An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:
“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”
“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”
“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

We are literally amazed by the great feedback and the mass of comments you gave us. We would like to thank everyone, who commented on the featured artists' deviations, who sent in suggestions for this issue and everyone who visited the chat room.

Featured artist: ~Life-takers-crayons
Comment by *AbCat
"It was by sheer good fortune that we stumbled across ~Life-takers-crayons just as he submitted the bulk of his artistic work to dA. As it is his work has seen little exposure thus far, but I think in a few weeks his gallery shall be very well trodden indeed.
Very rarely have I seen paintings as shocking and thought-provoking as his horror scenes. But he also has a talent for beautiful landscapes, showing a particular flair for water and usage of light.
There are seventy pieces to choose from in his gallery, each one highly exciting and challenging. Enjoy."

Featured artist: ~PENSA
Comment by *FelixT
"First of all ~PENSA is a very skilled artist: His works show great detail, moody colours and every piece has its own fitting and unique atmosphere.
His works vary from fashion like portraits to urban style scenery, from fantasy oriented full body drawings to realistic stories. His style can be colourful and happy, dark and dangerous, clear and authentic or ancient and historic.
I think his deviations leave plenty of space for poetic and prosaic interpretations, no matter if they will be sad, adventurous, progressive, philosophic or urban. I am extremely curious to see what our members will write to his excellent art."

Featured artist: ~Acadamics
Comment by *Amberlouie
"~Acadamics gallery is full of style and funk. His Sculptures are abstract and vivid in the way that they pierce the eye. His geometric pieces are intricately produced and handled with care, often using every-day materials such as cardboard. ~Acadamics work is definitely a gallery not to be missed!"

`arcipello's artwork is instantly recognisable. His vibrant colours and sci-fi scenes are breathtaking at times, pulling you into a world where man and machine live in colourful harmony.
An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipello Read More
