Looking for underfaved, surprisingly good works by underexposed artists that you want to feature in your journal and news articles? Go to my fave collection "Attention please":

Special to me


Flash Player 8 is required to view SitBack. Get the latest version of Flash Player.
I suppose artists all have work that they like themselves but don't get as much attention as they like - because they're old, because they need to be seen fullview or aren't easy pleasers etc.
If you have some time to spare, have a look at these works. :heart:

Some good journal-ists

Sun Apr 7, 2013, 1:58 AM
As most of you know, I haven't written a journal in a while. I'm writing this using the new beta of the journal editor, and if you haven't got access to beta features yet, I can tell you you will like it. Pretty close to WYSIWYG (which is something I've always asked for) and great access to the art that you might want to feature. And as we're talking about journals, these people write good ones:

:iconscheinbar:*scheinbar
Absolutely top of the bill. Sometimes I feel that you could limit yourself to watching everything in Scheinbar's journals, and not miss too much. A dA on Scheinbar-level would probably be a whole lot more relevant to the artworld. And then there is her own work of course...

faultLESS world by *scheinbar

   






Stamatis has run the Friday Night Features in #The-Yard-Collective for a long time, with consistent regularity and quality, and there are also his own journal and his off-dA photoblog. As I'm anything but consistent (or to put it in another way, consistently inconsistent), I'm in awe of this. He is also a journalist without the dash, in the sense that he has done photojournalistic work at a good pro standard. And he has learned me about blown-out highlights, long, long ago... :beer::manhug::beer:

Denneris was one of the first people I got to know after I started my photography account on dA and I still know her. I guess it helps that we're both emote-ional people. 
:iconchickendanceplz::iconchickendanceplz::iconboogieonastickplz::iconrunsiesplz::iconpresentsplz::iconchickendanceplz::iconchickendanceplz:
I got to know a lot of nice artists through her journals, and it's worth your while to watch to have the same experience. She's a great example of focused, personal journals. She has a good eye for the quirky and travel shots.

I work as a travel writer, translator and semi-professional photographer.

My DA Portfolio is here: [link] Feedback and comments are welcome.

You can read more about me and my DA works in this Ezine, that was created by !stuartperry because one of my photos won the #The-Yard-Collective's first Street contest:


BUYING MY WORK
A lot of my work is on sale through the Deviantart Print service, a lot of it isn't. Don't hesitate to contact me if you see a work that's not available for printing, there might be no particular reason for that and I can put it up. Some of the works that are available for print are in need of a different title or will have their frame removed. That will happen sooner or later, but if you don't want to wait, contact me too, I'll put you in the fast lane. :)

Finally, some of my best works are for sale on Redbubble. You might have a look there if you prefer their conditions. Also my works there don't have the black or white frame that's present around many of my pictures.
