This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.
By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.
With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.
Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

My mother could do amazing things with a piece of charcoal...
I draw like a 6 year old...
But with fractals, photography, poetry, and the occasional digital art piece...
I too can create art...
And you are right you have to step back, look, think, make adjustments, and maybe do it all several times before you get what you wanted from the beginning

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Very well said. I always find it interesting when someone that works in "x" media says that 'y" media isn't art. Some people just don't realize how ignorant this sort of noise makes them appear.
Art is an expression of the soul, I don't think anybody should try to take that away from an artist.

Love me?
this is a bit off subject, but can't someone think of a better name then "digital painting"? cuz a painting is made with paint, not colored pixels on an electronic screen (no disrespect to that genre, has some stunning stuff)

"a painting is made with paint, not colored pixels on an electronic screen" - that statement comes from someone who has idea that painting on a computer can be exactly the same thing as traditional painting on canvas. Go to youtube and watch one or two of the hundreds of demonstrations of digital painting in Painter or Photoshop. You will see it's exactly the same.
The term is subjective but the action is still the same. It is still painting.
What would you call it if not digital painting, then?
