Hullo everybody... Mr. Gone-for-a-while-and-then-suddenly-pops- up-out-of-nowhere is back again... sheesh... work sucks @ss... and the fact that you don't have a system to work with at home sucks even more...



My friends (*sigh*... if I forgot you, please don't get upset... there are so many of you!) *sweat*

I'm back! DeviantART is in my blood... how can I just let it go? I reached 800+ pageviews while I was away... how 'bout that? I remember I left it at around 400+ or something... sheesh... is that how long I've been out?

Anyway, here's to the one person who's always been watching out for me in DA... hello sa iyo!

First off... I haven't been logging in to DA for quite some time now... some person posted go-gaia.com and now I'm addicted to it... so I've lost hours and hours just hanging out there...

Anyway, I met an old High School buddy of mine on DA. Shout outs to ~ bitterboyblue He was my classmate waaaaay back in Freshman high... and I was shocked as hell to hear from him again!

If you wanna see what we all used to look like back then (hehehehe UGH!) check out our class/barkada/group webpage... [link]

It's fun!

Now I'm back... and will start upload new stuff mebbe later...

DevArt just took down majority of my new work... for being section violations or copyright violations. Just a few points I wish they took into consideration:

First, I credited the source. I may not have gotten express written permission from the photographer and such, but these were placed on public domain websites AND were even listed in the downloads categories of the sites... so how the hell am I supposed to ask for permission from material that's already available to the public in the first place?!

Second, even if I may have used images or photos that were not mine, but still publicly available through the internet, from all my gallery browsing in DA, I've always seen a number of people do the same thing, and yet they DO NOT mention where they got these images from. At least I have the decency to say which website I got it from and even add the link on the deviation.

Third, promo images are in fact images that are DISTRIBUTED FREELY. Those are the images that I have been using. In fact, with my work in our website, we use promo images ALL THE TIME. Either images that production companies and music companies really do give out as free materials for public display and redistribution--thus even without the express permission of the photographer, the production company, which OWNS the license for these images, allow us to USE the images as we see fit... and instances such as fanart creation and display on community-based websites is an ADDED bonus for them, since it becomes FREE PUBLICITY. So as the owner of the item in question, I would be GLAD that people spread my work around as added advertising.

I hate to be a bad egg especially in a time when copyright infringement crisis looms just around the corner, but sh*t like this just PISSES ME OFF. I worked my @ss off to make good stuff (well at least to my taste) so people who have the same interests and taste as me can aspire for something better, appreciate the work that I'm doing, and even offer criticism to help me better my craft.

I hate to say this but there are times when I feel DA is being unfair and a spoilsport. I admire the team that put together DA for their vision and strict enforcement of the rules, but come on people, some of these rules are too darn strict, and the person who enforced them was definitely unfair. They didn't even give me a chance to take them down myself. I miss logging on for one day and THIS happens.

They were talking about self moderation because people put up CRAP all the time, but what about those who really WORK to make better stuff? That's just bullsh*t man, and I hate to say this, but that really blows.

Maybe I'm just being too much of a prick... I hope DA admin read this and reply, so I can hear their side of the story, because I'm that kind of a person. I don't judge just because of some small thing and I certainly do not form conclusions after hearing only one perspective of the story. I'd like to know why there was no effort to reach out, when in fact this is a community based website, and that the admins should better serve the people who make their site work.

I love DeviantART because the place lets me express myself as an artistic individual, but if stupid little rules like this hinder me or everyone else from realizing their full potential, then F*CK THE SYSTEM! I never was a believer in established norms and regulatory bodies and it is EXACTLY this kind of behavior that shows why.

If you've read this far, then hooray for you. You've just heard my side of the story. To everyone else, F*CK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

Been working myself silly these bast few days... it's insane! Well, I've got Amy Lee to keep me sane (if obsession is sanity then I'm probably the most lucid person in the world...)

Anyway, that and Animax every night... plus now I just started on my DVD collection of 24... so my nights will be pretty loaded from here on out...

*If I missed anyone... well, sorry! Let me know then...
