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!

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

=crystalofchaos:iconcrystalofchaos: reports, 15h 1m 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.

Major Deviantart Works Theft!

=ToxiCanvas:iconToxiCanvas: reports, March 29
Just read =GrandeOmbre's journal writing about art theft again. I browsed the "gallery" and tried to find as much works as I could so that I could note the actual owners of them.

That was impossible! There are so many works in there that will take too much time to note every and each one of the fellow deviants whose art's been stolen.

Therefore this is the link to the "collection": [link]

If you take a closer look you'll notice that at the "direct link" tab under each image there is the name of the original artist at the end of the link.

If you want to take care of it and don't know how check follow links:

- PHOTOBUCKET ART THEFT AND HOW TO GET IT REMOVED

- How to report art theft on Photobucket

- Photobucket Inc. Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy

There is nothing that friendship cannot beat.
I am in the following clubs:
Warhammer 40k club[link]
and anti art theft group[link]
Support group[link]
:iconhomme-dart:
Yes, that is one way. To make artwork which doesn't awake any desire. But then, careful, because it might attract crappy comments!
Be prepared...:o)
:iconhomme-dart:
Art theft?
Let's be a bit more clear.
My artwork which has been scanned, edited, sized reduced, and finally published on DA and other sites, is still in my drawer. I just checked now. Nothing has been stolen so far.

Then, i am aware that, statistically, very few people are creative and really original in their approach to Art or even life in this world. Most of us are imitators, consumers and want to be stimulated and entertained.
Please correct me if you think i am wrong on this point.

So, you and me, we realize that there is a huge black hole in the human psyche and every day millions of people (like you and me ) surf the net to find something new enough to fill this vacuum. And this process is repeated over and over.

So, aware of that, how can one realistically expect that, if the work we upload, is attractive enough, no one is going to snap it and perhaps, at some point, "share" it with "friends"?
Do you get the point?
Of course, we are not at all advocating the "theft" of any information stored in the hard drives of the servers, but if I have an information ( artwork or anything else) that could cause me to suffer because it is being used, misused and abused by someone else, then it make sense that i better NOT upload it, for the time being.
And if I wish to take the risk, that's fine too.
:iconlilithofthedamned:
The link is not available and thank you love.

Passion comes in many forms His *discurrere work exudes Passion and connects you with the emotion that is art.
