Tell us what defines you as a person.
Photography defines me. Without it, I would not be the person I am today. I wouldn't have taken as many risks if I had not picked up a camera, and wouldn't have experienced major parts of my life that happened because of my camera.

Architecture

~canismaioris says: "The most important in Architectural Photography for me is:1. Finding the right perspective. You should always look for an interesting foreground, first plan can totally change perception.
2. It's good to use wide angle, show as much as you can, use a wide angle lens or make panorama, but this trick doesn't work in every case and situation.

Interview with ~yuriko-shirouMargarita is a mexican artist that has amazing skills and talent towards traditional art! Her works are brilliant and deserve a closer look, it would be a shame not to stop by to see the works she put so much soul into.

First, please introduce yourself to those that might not know you yet.
Hi everyone! It’s a pleasure, my name is Margarita Luna but I prefer to be named Yuriko. I’m 25 years old, I’m mexican and I am an illustrator. I’m working to be an art professor someday and to do art books as well. Painting and illustration are my biggest passions and I wish to dedicate my whole life to them.

You are a very successful artist, what do you believe are your most important features that made you pop out of the crowd?

Always people ask us how we do it, or how two absolutely different person can draw together, how we can draw one picture as a one person- ho we find the agreement and how we can live in

First and foremost, I am a mother. My kids influence everything I do, including my art. Secondly, I am an artist. If I am not painting I find other ways to express myself. My second favorite creative outlet: pie making.

Interviewed artist: ~bronart :iconbronart:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
I'm not really sure how to answer that, I am just me, I am different around each person, but one thing that stays the same is my art, I'm always thinking about my paintings, like the words of Andrew Wyeth - "I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting."

PE Interview with =Aida-ArtInna is a young talented artist who paints... digitally! Her personal quote is "Impossible... but doable" and this can also be seen in her works, where she achieves pure awesomeness!

You are a very successful artist, what do you believe are your most important features that made you pop out of the crowd?
That’s a tough one Personally I think the most important thing is that you need to love what you’re creating. Always put your heart and soul in your creations and make them for yourself, not for public.

What do you want to express through your artworks? What inspires you the most?
The answer is really simple – my soul. I always express my vision of beauty through my artworks. Beauty is everywhere and I capture it the way I see it.

In your opinion, the quality of your art depends more

Which, like every possible personality trait has its good and its bad sides. But of course I'm not the first person with those traits ever... I guess the only thing that can really define me is my DNA

Inspiring Digital Artworks Try browsing dA. Many of the most popular artworks ever are uploaded in Digital Art gallery. Then have a look at some of the most popular digital works in the last hours and compare them to some other popular deviations from different categories. What do you notice? - What i did a long time ago: there's a difference between them; digital artworks usually have more views, more comments, more faves. And it made me wonder "Why is that?" - Is it because many people are fans of fantasy characters and great landscapes? Is it because they enjoy looking at an enhanced figure or at a reality-defying picture?
Of course they do, but that's not the only reason. It's mostly because people appreciate good work and stunning details, which are sometimes harder or impossible to achieve through other arts. It is also because this is the medium that imposes no limits to your power of creation - you ca

On A Midnight Drive

The tempests toss...but with a single word they can be still...and in the peace finding solitude and comfort...release... Let us together strive to be perfect beings. Even if that means we become something more than human. Transcending humanity perhaps could be a blessing...to forget pain and regret...to have something more...something of a little more merit. Something greater than fate, or the cards life dealt to devastate...

Dive with me away from the confusion, maybe reality is an illusion. Come away with me into the silence of night…away from the painful blight. Come away with me tonight…on a midnight drive.

i've stumbled here
in an old dream
that i have known
of life
and lived.

but where can i set my eyes,
two lonely, runaway balloons
that crawl and stretch and fail to frame it
all at once: bloodless, mindless revelations
of a place without a body to clasp onto this intelligence,
the slow
red womb of space?

the roots of oblivion
are fed to great skeletons of air
and i can watch the pines hug at their endings,
an abysmal tongue that licks through
the soul of stone
as easy as water
will find water,
as gravity has found
the bottom
of its peace.

and i can say this, now;
the world
has never been the world.

BreatheThe echoes
   call my name.
over,
   and over,
   again.
The past showers me with wishes,
   regrets,
hopes, fears,
and dreams.
The rain of the past, present, and future, pound endlessly.
Who, when, and where will my cross roads lie?
Who is calling my name?
When will my moment to shine come?
Where will life lead me?
The wind whispers to me,
   a story,
breathing into me......
There is hope, for this journey all must take.
Live life with a passion, and take risks.
Sing your swan song with pride, and let yourself be heard.
The wind departs, and thoughts overwhelm me.
Climbing over the hills and valleys of my destiny....
Take my hand,
   and never let go.
Let our hearts beat in unison, keeping us steady, even if the world drops around us.

The Bride of AtlasShe met him when the world was new;
when wars were fought in the cosmos
and celestial beings deigned expose
and visit themselves upon the mortals.

In darkness he came to her;
somewhere between fantasy and the real,
disguised as a human, burly and firm
with want of a lover and yearning for release.

She knew him as a man
and he loved her as his wife.

A Titan he had always been
at battle with Olympians
who garnered all of humanity's love
and chose war over peace to keep it.

As lightning struck, thunder roared,
and waves destroyed the earth,
all grew quiet as Olympus rejoiced
and she knew that he had lost.

The Ballad of My DogThe Ballad of My Dog
14-07-12

When I was young, my ears flopped down,
My coat was ashy grey.
I chased the tassels on the rug;
I just wanted to play.

I cried at night, for I was too short,
To get up on the bed.
For that is where I chose to spend
The lonely time of dread.

Now that I'm grown, my ears stand up,
I look like a small grey fox.
And, like when young, I sleep with you –
I never liked my box.

My tail curls over like a pig's,
I have sleepy bedroom eyes.
I shake and shiver when I'm scared,
And whine and moan and cry.

Once a month, near the full moon,
I go a little strange.
I hunt for teddies to hump and protect,

The Day I Didn't Die.For many years now, today is the worst day of the year for me. And I can't help but think it always will be.
Quite honestly, it should be the best day of the year because it is the day I didn't die.
Let me explain.
After a drunken phone conversation with the woman I hold dearest to my heart last night, the Aunt convinced me that it's finally time I share this story. If for nothing more, just to get it out and put it in the past. It's not a story I like to share. It's not something I like to talk about, but I'm hoping the catharsis of writing it down will help me be a better person. A person that doesn't dread the arrival of December 16th every year.
It's always a dark day because 17 years ago it's the day I woke up to find out that my grandmother was dead. And with her, any hope of a normal childhood because she was the one that was there for my brother and I when our mom wasn't and when our dad was on one of his rampages.

The hot, unsanitary, dusty operating tent was a world away from the tiled, clean and cool theatres that Rich was used to at home. He had signed up as a voluntary surgeon after watching one too many news stories about the wars that seemed to occur on a perpetual basis. He wanted to make a difference, so he gave up golfing holidays in Scotland and Southern France and instead flew out to whatever conflict had flared up during his leave.

This particular war zone was particularly horrific, and as usual it seemed to be the civilians who had drawn the short straw. He had got used to the pathetically equipped hospitals and aid stations, wi
