The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.
Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.
The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images

reports, July 1Sex and sexuality in art are some of my favorite things, and certainly sometimes arousal is part of this, but more importantly, it is FAR MORE than about simple arousal, as porn is. One of my deviantart friends, 
, said that art of a sexual nature can “ provoke thoughts about our dreams, fears, desires, and place in the world"...yes! Well done art that deals with sex exposes the soul of the subject or act in question, not just the naughty bits. I feel that any kind of work on this site that looks at sexuality in a thoughtful or artistic or critical or celebratory, etc. way is certainly appropriate content for an art site, because, of course, this work is actually ART.

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism?
~jjankk
reports, 2d 21h ago
reports, 2d 21h agoThis is an extremely old article from 2005 but I found it interesting.
It explains how some graffiti artists began to sell their art for money. There are people in the world who think that graffiti is art and not vandalism and other who feel the opposite way. I feel like graffiti is a work of art and should not be banned or should not be against the law. Even though I consider graffiti art I don't think it should be sold to galleries and to people. I think graffiti was meant for the streets and that's where it should stay. What's your opinion on this topic?

March 2008 Artistic Nude Featured Deviant
*sincity07 is a model that joined us in Aug 1, 2007, having still very few attention, as you can see by her pageview status of only 37,816. In spite of it, she has a very positive attitude around here that I'd like to see more around here. In her journal she thanks for the support she's being having... I say, let's show her HOW much MORE she can have, will we? I already devwatched her, cause the gallery is amazing!!! She says her favourite artist is Degas and for me that says already a lot... don't it to you too, peeps?
Here are a few treats to lure you there:
