Recently today the always amazing `conzpiracy posted this journal:

DA Witch Hunts, Righteous Indignation. Fuck You.STFU
Some people on here spend more time 'hunting', tracking and analysing supposed art-thiefs than producing actual art or contributing.
I have seen a 13 year old girl bombarded with multiple insults / threats. In a group admin discussion, the deviants were saying the young girl should be 'gassed' - and that 'Hitler would have been too kind for her'. She was tormented into quitting the site by a large group of women. If you think that's kool, then fuck you.
I have seen feuds tear across social platforms and various sites because of 'copying' or alleged copying, causing insurmountable aggrevation and pulling others into the crossfire.
I have seen Facebook art sites attacked my the 'righteous indignation' brigade, attacking genuine art appreciators like evangelical lunatics.
I get messages daily about this stuff. Many of the messages do not even come from the artists themselves, but 'concerned parties'. Please, I DO NOT CARE. With the exception of the famous Chad Love Lieberman case, mo


Just yesterday I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing. The witch hunts on art thiefs on DA is is out of control. Whole groups and accounts dedicated to nothing but trolling the shit out of art thieves  "But Abbey they deserve it!" No. There is no justifying it.

To further my laziness I am just going to post the comment I posted on the journal:

"DA is INSANE with its witch hunts. Whole groups and accounts dedicated to pointing out theft and then sicking the "attack dogs" on them. All of them, as you (Conz) said, thinking they are on some righteous path protecting the meek artist. I know personally that I don't fucking need an angry mob to protect me or my art. If people see something of mine stolen then they can contact ME, not the person who stole. /I/ should be the one to decide what action is to take place whether it's to ignore it, contact the person, or report the page IT'S MY GOD DAMN CHOICE. And the worst part is is that the people know they are being shitty bullies, and think they are justified in their bullying.

I think more people need to speak up about this so that people know that it is NOT ok, because it's only getting worse."

I would like to completely clarify that obviously theft is wrong, reporting it is fine, but that is where you need to stop. Report and move on. Attacking someone on behalf of another artist is trivial and pointless. And if that artist is me, I am going to be fucking pissed. :stare:

If you aren't one of those DA attack dogs then ignore all this and look at these pictures of red pandas:

  • Listening to: Fitz and the Tantrums
I was slouching around on facebook and realized I was getting a few likes on my FB fan page "Oh sweet!...Oh snap another!...And another...!" Then I hop onto DA and look at today's page views and it's over 400...it was 20-40 around an hour or 2 ago (yes sometimes I check out of curiosity!)

Thank you to everyone who has fallowed me on FB, and here...and well everywhere. Clearly I was featured somewhere - hopefully I didn't skip over a message or anything.

This was a pleasant little surprise to a less than stellar day is all. :dance:

Thank you!
I have recently hit 301 watchers, so I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has stuck around for the past year and some odd months, to the people who just started watching me and to anyone who has ever given me feedback. Whether it be a lonely fave or an in depth critique it never goes unappreciated.

Facebook!
I made one! [link]. So far it's pretty bare, but there is the place I will be posting wips, screenshots teasers, sketches, and all that other stuff unworthy of posting on here or my other art pages. I also want to start doing tutorials, walk through and process videos so hopefully I can start on that soon!

Anyways, all likes are highly appreciated. You look like a big ol' loser when you have a Facebook page with only one like and that one like is from yourself. :shifty:

Taking a Small Break. + Feature

Wed Oct 31, 2012, 1:42 PM
I will be taking a 1 month break from DA, or more specifically a break from submitting stuff, starting on the 1st!

Lately, I have been feeling very frustrated. I have not been happy with any of my new work, it's all pretty much garbage to be frank. They all seem grossly unoriginal and uninspired. Probably because that's how I have been feeling as a person in general. So I want to take one month to strictly focus on learning and improving my technique and all that other good stuff. 

It is actually hard for me not to post every little thing I throw together, and it's hard for me to just leave a piece unfinished and accept that it's just not going anywhere. In reality, I am only even posting this so I have to actually...do it. I have zero self control.

Artist that deserve a little love.

5. Shorra
  

  


So after being incredibly stupid and delaying this for so long I finally made a Benace profile: www.be.net/abbeymarie   So you know, if you happen to be on there fallow me if you would like, and I'll fallow you if I would like, and we will fallow each other if that is what we would like. It'll be like a fancy party. With monocles and everything.

And since I am pimping that page out, here's my shadowness account: [link].

Either way, I also want to say thank you to the people who fallow me on here (or even for just reading this). I hope you all become millionaires.  

:)
