Sergio has a DD! / Features / Avie contest entries

SERGIO (=0-Aegir-0) HAS A DD!

One of the first people who featured work of mine (and vice versa) is =0-Aegir-0. I've always found his work creative and original, and he deserved more attention.
Hopefully he will get some now, because his "Bargain Hunter" (featured in this same issue of my journal) got a DD.

AVATAR CONTEST: DEADLINE IN TWELVE HOURS (GMT Saturday 23:59
Damien says my avatar is poop.

Fair enough, he’s keeping a contest for a new avatar for me.

You can read all about the rules in his journal, here: [link] Thank you Damien!
I’‘m the judge however, and here are some things that I’d like about an avatar of mine.
- If I look at a long row of messages, I’d like to find my own quickly. I will have to be recognisable.
- It has to fit with me and my work. So, a Naruto with glasses, or a winged vampire is not a good bet for a winner.
- Idiotic emotes?

Mmmm not sure...

First in (thank you!)

And there is

FEATURES: INCOMPREHENSIBLY IGNORED
At first, I didn’t have a theme for these features, but soon I discovered many had one thing in common: they have received absurdly little attention. Most of them I discoverd when browsing the galleries of people who had faved me and whom I didn’t know yet. It’s that easy. Be amazed, be very amazed...

And of course...

SEVENTEEN REVISITED?
I did the Seventeen tag some time ago ([link]) , but never finished it. I was tagged for this by =grafitomane, which seems the perfect excuse to take it up again. The rules are simple. Note or comment me that you want to join in, and I’ll go through your gallery and select three pieces that I like. In turn, you’re expected to do the same for seventeen other artists... I have eight slots left!

Slot 9

FOR THE POLAROID PEOPLE
The other day I read an newspaper article about two people who wanted to revive a Polaroid film (not ‘’the’‘, but ‘’a“ ). I was amused to see the same news turned in a deviation very little later on this very spot.

NEXT WEEK
In my next journal, supported by my Australian friend Warren ~WildWassa, I hope to do a journal about trams. And of course, I hope to give the results for Damien’s avatar contest.

I'm amazed...great collection!

What a great friend Daniel is to you. Your avatar can use a little revamping even though I know that is where you sit in the garden which makes it special to me!

Thanks Katy, I'm honoured.

I've included your entry on top of my journal.

=EricForFriends Jan 29, 2009, 11:43:25 PM

Thank you!

Like my journal, the avatar was an act of non-design, but the EricForFriends thing has grown much bigger than I originally intended it... I can be conservative in running my things so it's good have to friends who help me move on.

OLDEST JOURNALS

_{One of the saddest snags of dA is that the oldest journals - beyond the latest 20 - get unfindable if you don't happen to have a link to a feature somewhere. Seeing that many people are writing such interesting and useful journals, like blogs, I think a persistant archive or retrieving system would be in order. Here are mine, anyway - if I don't forget to update...}
