These are featured artists from my main page journal entries throughout 2009.

Please note that the quotes don't necessarily reflect upon the art by which they appear; they generally have more to do with the weekly theme. Please also keep in mind that everybody that uses my stock is featured in my favorites and my wishlist, which will always be reserved for those that use my stock!




~XNeedlesX
(Featured January 2 - 14)
This Week's Theme: MARRIAGE & ROMANCE

~XNeedlesX is an artist from the US that shows a great deal of promise with digital art. Her gallery displays lovely artwork often with a somewhat dark, romantic mood bordering on fantasy goth. Clickity-click to see the wonders for yourself!

Weekly Quote: "After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her."

(Featured January 15 - 22)
This Week's Theme: SNAKES & SERPENTS

=aphostol: This artist from Spain has a sexy and dark style that I absolutely love. I have featured him in my journal before because I just can't help myself from admiring what he does. He's also recently added a few stock images to his gallery for your use! I hope you go see for yourself.

~Lowranzy6699
Another great snake-ish art piece that was made with one of my stock images is the above photomanipulation by ~Lowranzy6699. Gorgeous; isn't it?

Weekly Quote:
"I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I don't remember why I came."

(Featured Janurary 24 - February 5)
This Week's Theme: SECRETS

=wishingstar16: Something I admire about this deviant's gallery is her creativity. Her artwork displays so much imagination and inner thought that it's easy for me to get myself lost in her sense of surrealism. Her use of angles, light and surrealism spin a mysterious web of fantasy. Very nice!

Weekly Quote: "The secret of life is in art."

~Quna
(Featured February 6 - 27)
This Week's Theme: CHARITY & ACTIVISM

~Quna recently celebrated her first year anniversary at DeviantART! Yuo can read and respond to her thoughts about the dA experience here. But this isn't the only reason I'm featuring this artist. Her gallery is fully of gorgeous photography, fractals, traditional art, literature, and she's even used my stock in her beautiful photomanipulation art. She also has a very cool hair tutorial, which makes it look so easy that I may actually try digital coloring again. ...Very inspiring!

Weekly Quote: "Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind."

~Ravven78
(Featured February 28 - March 10)
This Week's Theme: ANOTHER PLACE, ANOTHER TIME

Fantasy artists like ~Ravven78 are the people that inspired me to offer stock images. Her gallery is like taking a journey into other places in unknown time, often dirfting into and out of the surreal. I like her use of earthy hues and sensual forms that take on an appearance of reality just a little left of center. Even her photography somewhat pricks my imagination, forcing me to wander into some other world. Lovely stuff! She's also the owner of ~Ravven-Stock, so you can use some of her photos with your artwork.

Weekly Quote: "What began as imaginative escapism has led me full circle back to life. Maybe artists do pay attention to the important things."
