To draw or not to draw

Thu Apr 17, 2008, 9:42 PM
  • Mood: Content
  • Reading: Mathematical Modelling 2 (it's for my degree)
  • Watching: The written word
So, I was looking over my deviantArt page and noticed that my last journal entry is dated from November 2006 and had the feeling that maybe it's time to write another one.
In my last entry I said that later on in 2007 I would put up alot more deviations and it seems that I only put up two; not a very good effort on my behalf I know. But I do have a good reason. Last year I was doing my first year of an engineering degree and it just so happens that engineering degrees take up a lot of time. All of my energy was put into my studies and I had no motivation to do any form of art. Now in 2008 I am putting even more energy into my second year of study, but I want to draw now more than ever. The sad story is that my studies will always come first.
But I was thinking, do I really want to put my art on here anyway? I have alot more work than that shown on this site but the art theft is a huge problem. I would never put new ideas on the internet. I've seen art taken from others and put on myspace pages or put in youtube videos, without credit being given to their makers. It's shocking, incredibly rude and above all disheartening. It would be easy for me to go on and keep complaining but I'm not the type to continue to rant unless I have a solution to the said problem.
Well that's my first entry for 2008, but hopefully not the last.

Thanks so much for adding me to your friends list! I absolutely love your artwork- all of it! And as for the explaination for your username, it makes sense and fits your art well.

If I was a samurai, I would probably accidentally chop my head off with a katana. Ain't that sad? Post this in your signature if you agree.
