Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
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!

When did we start hating everything?

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

=crystalofchaos:iconcrystalofchaos: reports, 1d 6h ago
Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

Happy Christmas!

Article #1: Unfamous & underrated

~MuffinKid:iconMuffinKid: reports, January 20
Hello there, random readers of deviantART news!
Today I would like to write about a subject that has been bothering me for a long time,

Talent and Popularity on dA and other art-related websites - related?

Lately I have been seeing more and more talented photographers and other talented artists on deviantART and other sites that just don't get the attention and appreciation they deserve.

Apparently, being talented and uploading amazing photographs just isn't enough to get your art exposed here on dA, and other websites that take art as their main subject.
Is it right? that less-talented artists that spams forums&chatrooms get noticed, while others, which are sometimes BETTER than them, could upload some amazing stuff and still not get any recognition?
well, I think it's wrong. although I agree being talented is not enough, and I believe you should put some extra effort in your work and show a little appreciation to other artists like yourself, I don't see a reason why someone would have to spam his artwork wherever he possibly can to get some attention out of people.

My main point is pretty simple - us dA members need to help promoting each and every extremely-talented artist that we find here on deviantART. starting by featuring them on your journals, showing their work to friends, and everything we can do to promote them.
also, if you see a photograph or any other artwork - post a comment and tell the artist what you think, It won't do you any harm - and I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

That's what I think, for all it matters to you.

FEATURE Time!

As a first step of promoting the talented. yet unknown photographers of dA (after all, My main interest in this site is photography...), I've decided to feature 27 great photographies by various deviants that have less than 1,000 pageviews,
I'll be glad if You show their art some more attention.












Thanks for your time,
"MuffinKid". :)
