A Feminist Perspective on Questionable Images
*sick-snowangel
reports, July 1
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 5h ago
reports, 2d 5h 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?

DeviantArt Watermark - [i'm sorry, i hate it]
*davespertine
reports, May 24, 2008
reports, May 24, 2008DeviantArt Watermark
It's not that i don't like the deviant art logo... it's a 'nice shape'
But when it is used as a watermark placed right in the middle of an image it is nothing but an annoying distraction.
Watermarks can, and should be subtle and can even add to the effect of an image.
If used, a watermark should be part of the creative choce of the artist and not some random event.
some examples of images with deviant art watermark:
[owners can remove the watermark at any time]
The problem with the deviant art watermark
it is ugly, obtrusive, large and placed in the centre of the image
i don't mind watermarks, they can look cool, or be a signature, logo for your work
the great painters signed their work, but not right in the middle and in a huge marker pen
a watermark set in the center draws the eye away from the work at is really difficult to view the work properly.
some images with 'cool' watermarks:
Resizing images as an alternative:
If you are concerned about art theft one alternative is to limit the size
When you submit deviation, select a suitable size (400 pixels wide is the smallest)
uncheck the Allow download of fullsize image option
