DA Prints
This marvelous wonder has finally launched. After almost two years in the making this baby, our pride and joy, is finally alive. Must thank liquisoft for creating that wonderfully visually stunning eye-candy of a design for the site as well. It allows us to retain that artistic atmosphere all while providing an e-commerce powered site. This is something we have been wanting to do since, almost, day one and are glad that our endeavors have paid off and are finally being realized!
Printing Deviations
I am slowly going to be adding some of my deviations up for print. The first one I am starting with is “Dont Piss Me Off,” for a number of reasons. Mainly because I think its a wonderful picture but more because it has alot of meaning to me.
Miscellaneous
Remember all them “we got great things coming” lines that I would always add in my journal? Well, DA Prints is one of those great things. If it takes off like we expect it to then I gurantee you will see some major fireworks taking off here.
Shouts
Shouts to chris and spyed for doing such a wonderful job on putting together DA Prints, staying up late at night and just being there. To matteo for, well, being matteo. Tack, god of wording, where would we be without your wording wizardy? DJ for your wicked graphics that save the day, everyday. Attila for being a forum wh0re and software bitch. Arc for providing quality insight. Jsenn for being so lovable. And to all the other staff members for helping run this exciting site during these exciting times!

got some exciting things going on here. signing up more artists to submit their work so that we can have a huge assortment of prints available upon launch. this is so going to rock!
Prints Received
just received life is a cookie by fuzzydemon in a large, 20×30, matte, print. this baby came out fantastical! all i need to do is find a place to get frames from. since i am in japan they do not have american sized frames. cant seem to find a decent framer online either. hopefully i can find something soon!
Miscellaneous
got my sony clie nr70 the other day. this baby is a rock solid pda. the screen totally destroys the palm m505. the high-resolution area and soft-graffiti area, makes this baby wonderful. i am getting back on track and used to using my pda again. i really missed it but the m505 just didnt cut it for me. this one, along with action names, a datebook and contact list replacement, make life so much better.
deviantART dot com loves you!…

this is our biggest surprise yet. when you will be able to purchase a print of your favorite artists deviation you will just go nuts! does it get any better than that?
Prints Received
when [link] initially opened for beta testing i purchased three prints. they are:
1. DAwp V4 by jasinski in a glossy 20×30.
2. Urban Angel 2 by jasinski in a glossy 20×30.
3. gone away by fluxx in a matte 20×30.
all i can say about the prints is whoa. these babies are fan-fucking-tastic! i need to go and find some decent frames to get for these because they are wicked and definitely deserving of being hung on a wall. i really dig the DAwp v4 because it really defines deviantART. the other two are beautifully artistic pieces as well.
if [link], and the printing of deviations in general, does not take off then i will be very surprised. artists have a chance to make some money off their work, finally, and art lovers finally get the ability to hang their favorites on their wall - literally speaking!
this is probably the most exciting time that deviantART has ever had, besides opening and obtaining the new servers. watch for some phenomenol things to start happening around this place!
*hugs* to all that deserve them. deviantART really does love each and every one of you, regardless of whether you are a recognition wh0re or not!
what a novel idea; educate yourself on deviantART reality: [link]…

how to get yourself recognized at deviantART; a cynical look at some of the moronic ways that deviantART helps artists getting the attention they feel they deserve.
1. be sarcastic about everything; it matters not what the issue is, just always have a sarcastic response. this will get you recognized in a relatively short period of time due to your ability to make light of situations.
2. jump on a bandwagon; it matters not what the issue is, just hop along any one of the bandwagons that arrive at deviantART on an almost daily basis. being part of a clique will both make you feel better and allow you to receive attention!
3. submit porn; it matters not what artistic endeavors were sought because everyone loves porn, especially here on a site that is dedicated to art. this will propel you into the foremost thoughts of every deviant on deviantART.
4. despise the staff; it matters not what the issue is, just always despise the actions of the staff. this will speak louder than any of the previous points. why speak the truth when you can spread fear, uncertainty and doubt? people are always getting suckered into conspiracies and therefore by you being at the forefront of the stories you will propel yourself into the highest levels of fame attainable.
5. despise jark; it matters not what the issue is, just always despise jark. no matter what he says or does, they are always wrong therefore you should have no problems getting famous by pointing out the obvious errors of his ways.
…is this how you want to be remembered?
