Hey everyone! I hope you didn't all miss me too much. I have been away for quite a while and I'm really sorry for not being able to let you know I was going to be away. Unfortunately my hard drive packed in a few days before I went away abroad and didn't have time to fix it before I left. I got my pc back today so I'm really pleased about that but I logged on here to see 400 messages. It's going to take a good while to get back to everyone so please bare with me. I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. Take care everyone and I'll talk to you soon. :)

I logged on this morning to find I had received a daily deviation. Well I must say I was very surprised and really pleased too. I am writing this entry not to boast but to thank everyone who has supported me in the past and at present and to say a quick thanks for all those who have faved my work. It will take some time to thank everyone individually but I will get around to it.

Just a small sample of some of the wonderful works by some amazing artists here on DA. I may have featured one or two  of them before but they're worth a second look. Thanks for stopping by and checking these great artists out. I hope you enjoy.

Who is therob70 contest.

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 8, 2011, 1:04 AM
Okay guys there doesn't seem to be too many of you interested in this little challenge. I'll leave it open for a while longer so if you are giving it a go, please let me know so I don't close it prematurely.

The basic idea.
Create a picture that describes who or what "therob70" is. Portraits, abstracts, humorous or whatever. All mediums are valid.
To avoid you thinking I'll be biased with the judging, I won't be judging. A few of the people who know me best, my family members will decide which depicts me best (and they have a warped sense of humor.)

3 prizes are on offer.
3rd place=5 points
2nd place=10 points
1st place=20 points

All pieces with be featured on my page here.
It's just a bit of fun so why not give it a try.

note; If you think you may not be in my watch or friends lists, please message me with a link so I can fave and feature it. Please add therob70 in the comments or title or something so that I know what it's for.

By way of just a small thank you for the wonderful gift of 3 months premium membership I dedicate my first ever feature to a wonderful photographer and a wonderful person, MontanaMoon.

                                            :thumb196641272:
Only a member here on dA for a short 2 months she has a very beautiful gallery already. She clearly has a great eye for a wonderful picture and the skill and patience to capture that perfect moment.

                                            :thumb195204749:
This is one deviant worth watching for future works. If you get a chance, take the time to check out her full gallery sa I have only a small sample here to show you all. Thanks for taking the time to read this and once again to MontanaMoon, thank you so much. It's truly, deeply appreciated.

I would like to say a massive THANK YOU!!!!!! to all of my friends who gave me points. Most didn't use the donation pool for whatever reason but I ordered my T-shirt today. Thanks for all your help. I'm really quite speechless.

I have decided to keep the donation pool open and I have a few points left myself. These points and any donated will be given to someone in need of them. If you have a few points you don't need, please drop them in. If you need points or know someone who does, please let me know. I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to two great friends who between them have managed to lower my points donation target from 2000 to just 1000. A wonderful donation from Quazbut and a private donation from Darkrose03281 have halved my goal objectives and for that I'm incredibly grateful. Thank you so much you guys. :hug: :love: :heart:

When I first started out on DA I made it a goal to get enough points to get myself a nice DA T-shirt. I could have just bought one but that would have defeated the objective. Now after selling two prints of Lost lullabies I've eventually achieved my target. So, excitedly I went to the DA shop and tried to purchase the T-shirt I wanted. Would you believe it. It costs more to ship it to Ireland than it actually costs itself. I guess it's going to take me another 18 months or more to get enough points to buy it. So I'm setting up a donation pool to hopefully speed up the process with your help and generosity. :)

Hope you all didn't miss me too much guys. Sorry I've been away for so long. Firstly I'd like to say happy new year to everyone. Hope it's a great one for you all. Secondly I'd like to say a quick thank you to everyone who has faved commented or watched whilst I was away. I'll get round to everyone individually as soon as possible but with over 1100 messages and deviations to get through it make take a wee while. It's great to be back and I'm looking forward to seeing what you have been doing for the past few months. :)

Firstly I'd like to say sorry to all my friends for my lack of activity on here lately. The reason is simply because of the hectic time I'm having at home. I'm moving house and hope to be in sometime this week. Good news for me but it has a slight down side. Unfortunately I'll be without internet access for a while. Hopefully not for too long but I can't say with any certainty how long I'll be gone. Try not to miss me too much guys. (Lol) Keep up the great work and I hope to check out all your art as soon as possible.

As anyone who knows me knows I'm trying to improve my manipulation skills. I'm getting there slowly but surely, But I recently came across something I believe to be the most useful guide to manipulating photos for everyone from beginners to advanced. [link] Written by one of the most amazing manipulators I've ever seen. Conzpiracy. :iconconzpiracy: with a comprehensive directory of stock photo providers compiled by FantasyStock :iconfantasystock: The information here is not only outstanding in content but is clearly presented and simple to understand. If you're still here reading this, what are you doing? Get over there and check it out.
