-Latest News-
Fight against web-cam stock:
_{There has been an outcry across DeviantART, in the forums, chat rooms and anywhere you can post something, to remove and ban low quality 'web-cam stock'. Web-cam stock is pictures taken using a web cam which are usually about 300x200 pixels in resolution, they are very low quality, compressed images which are literally useless as stock to any quality artist. But it's not just the quality of these pictures which are causing such distress... it is also what the 'web-cam artists' are taking pictures of. These web cam pictures have ranged from blurry body shots to close up shots of self inflicted injury, what these people expect us to do with their stock remains unknown but so long as deviants reply with comments such as 'oh you poor thing' or 'wow you have a great body' they will continue to flood DeviantART with their unpolished jpeg's in a bid for sympathy, compliments or even just social interaction. Stock it may be, but art-related it is not. So next time you see web-cam stock, tell the owner how unnecessary it is, and join the fight against web-cam stock!

Here are some examples of people with web-cam stock: ~an-accidental-death ~ idiot-girl ~vividxdreadxstock}

German Shaiza Fun In The Sun by
_{When XaV1a found ~Anro's web-cam stock account he quickly learnt that Anro is a man who obsesses over himself in a more than awkward way. XaV1a was quick to begin working against Anro and so his venture began - XaV1a decided to make up a story about Anro... a story which involved the both of them being gay lovers and Anro taking steroids. And so Xav1a's latest journal entry ended up like this> [link] and the 'German Shaiza Fun In The Sun' .Gif movie was born

*Please note that ~Anro has since deleted his self proclaimed 'stock'}

-Featured Friend-
Alicia:
_{When I first met Alicia, almost two years ago, I was impressed by her friendliness. Now that I know her much better I can also say that I am impressed by her compassion, understanding, respect, humour and smile Alicia has unreal talents as an artist and performer and is a great person to be around. Rock on Alicia!}
