I have no idea, what is deviantART about these days. Really. I hope it still does push young people's creativity, as it used to do back in the days.

Every day hundreds (thousands, I don't know exactly) of people join the beloved dA community. You see those new names at Today Page and the list of New Deviants is updated every 20 seconds.

Yesterday I thought of a project "Patronize a Deviant" (PAD). It's not a contest. It's not even a very serious thing. But it could be a very good kind of entertainment for all the old farts and even the settled down newbies of deviantART.

Here is the plan:

:pointr:  We choose a week. For example, Dec 3 - Dec 9, or any other week.

:pointr:  During this week every deviant that wants to take a part in PAD project randomly chooses 5-10 deviants from New Deviants list.

When you choose somebody you should leave a welcome comment on this deviant's page and add him/her to your deviantWATCH.

:pointr:  After 1-3 years (the date can be specified) we meet somewhere (it might be a specially created dA account), share the lists of those deviants that we once have chosen and boast of their results within the community life.

:pointr:  If you decided to be a part of PAD project and watching some deviants, you will have no right to promote them in any way. The patronized deviant shouldn't also know that he/she is welcomed and watched by you because of PAD project. Though you can support and communicate with the patronized deviants to make sure they won't give up their dA activity.

Right now PAD is nothing but a pure concept. To make this concept a real thing I need your comments, ideas and suggestions. If you are interested, see the devoted journal entry.

Hello.

I've got an interesting idea for you, deviants!

Every day hundreds (thousands, I don't know) of people join the beloved dA community. You see those new names at Today Page and the list of New Deviants is updated every 20 seconds.

Yesterday I thought of a project. Let's call it "Patronize a Deviant" (PAD), for example. It's not a contest. It's not even a serious thing. But it could be a very good kind of entertainment for all the old farts and even the settled down newbies.

Here is the plan:
:pointr: We choose a week. For example, Dec 3 - Dec 9, or any other week.
:pointr: During this week every deviant that wants to take a part in PAD project randomly chooses 5-10 deviants from New Deviants list. When you choose somebody you should leave a welcome comment on this deviant's page and add him/her to your deviantWATCH.

Be a part of PAD

Before we start, I want you to tell me what you think about this project. I'd like to hear your ideas and suggestions. And I repeat, this is not a contest. And not even an entertainment like I said before. It's also a good occasion to see a step-by-step formation of a deviant with an opportunity to influence his or her adaptation to the beloved community. Hope you understood the whole point. Pardon my English. =P

Hello.

I'm fine if somebody still cares. I graduated in June. I found a job in September and now advice people about registration of domain names in zone ".ru". It may sound a bit boring (that's what alness said), but it actually isn't so. I have much fun talking to morrons and playing god of Internet, and hey, they also pay me for this.

In August me and my lady Ekaterina went to Cyprus for a vacation. We spent some great time there. Well, at least I did. My every day was the same: breakfast, sea, TV, lunch, lady, sea, dinner, VOOOODKAAAAA! Haha, I only once satisfied my lady and went to one of those night clubs which I hate. She danced, I watched, hehe.

All for now. Take care, fellow deviants!

Hello.

A week ago I decided to make an entry for the new Russian project Creatizm. The point of this project is quite simple: there's a list of 103 words and each word ends with "-ism" or "-izm". You pick one word you like and illustrate it.

My entry illustrates Totalitarianism and can easily be found here: creatizm.ru/show.php?id=63.

Creators of the project are currently working on translating the site into English, so I guess you may join it someday.
