fanart: in general i'm not so much a fan, but not really for technical reasons with execution. More because there is a standardization of approach/stylization that you often see on deviant art and similar sites that I think actually can limit the creativity and development of young artists; and if they are interested seriously in either commercial or contemporary fine art, kind of leads them more away from those worlds than closer to them. (For example, art schools usually won't accept a drawing or painting based on a commercial photo as an portfolio item.) If you are just drawing for fun, no big, but if you are really passionate about art, why assume early on that it will always be just for fun? I'm happy to give my two cents on how to build technical skills and develop as a professional visual artist without shelling out big bucks (because that's basically been my path) if anyone wants to PM me. Adam connection -- he's kind of an awesome example of this kind of non-traditional career path as well, figuring out and piecing together musical education, opportunities, and artistic development with limited funds. You could contrast this with Jesse J, Adele, or Leona Lewis who all went to the BRIT school for performing arts and technology for example. Well, for me deviantart was very helpful. Now I only use it as my portfolio for personal work, but at the beginning it was big eye opener. It show me what I need to learn technically, how to manage my career as an artist (more experienced artists was very helpful), that art is not some dream world but hard reality and tears sometimes. You just need to find things on deviantart (like everywhere else) that are worth of your time and attention. It was, and still is, a good experience for me. That's great to hear, I really haven't spent much time there, just browsing in the fanart section a little in another fandom, it's big enough that I'm sure it has some good stuff. I'm glad it was helpful to you. |

So there's not much going on and I am feeling nostalgic for the passing of the FYI era. I am wondering what everybody's favorite songs/performances are. It's a hard question for me since songs I once thought I didn't care much for have become favorites. But: My all time favorite song: Sleepwalker Latest favorite song: Voodoo Favorite performances: RiverRock Mad World, DTRH VH1 Unplugged Favorite song on the album: Broken Open Favorite song in performance: Soaked |

By the level of anxiety regarding the release date you would think he was releasing the cure for cancer.

OMG, Hahaha I was just driving home and the Bad Company song with Paul Rogers singing came on. Anyway, when it was over the DJ said "I wonder if Paul Rodgers is a bit ticked at Queen for wanting to go on the road next year with Adam Lambert!
Hmm, my local classic rock station hasn't gotten the memo that Adam is his Own headliner, LOL... But sure do like hearing a local rock station talking about Adam.
