Love the new batch of pics friend. It would be great to see this in a book one day. I'd definitely get a copy.
Your writing is also exceptional. I especially like the dark ones. Probably because I love the genre of horror a lot. But I could see a lot of those poems at the beginning of a good movie and such.
Anyway, awesome work as usual. I'm glad you have an office set up. It means more goodies for us all.
Keep up the great work friend!

With the pics I am trying to get them put on t-shirts etc.

Evening,
I would like you to become apart of an event I'm hosting for the literary community of DA. We need as many deviants to participate as possible.
We're hosting a contest/event for their deviations of writing deviants to receive commentary, critique's, and feedback. And during the month of late August, there will be grand prizes.
I was wondering if you would like to join? We're more than happy to have you! I do hope you accept my personal invitation.
Here's the reason why...
I'm creating this very large event because I’m sick of so many deviations of wonderful literature barely getting the attention they deserve. In fact, there's really only two ways this tends to happen. It’s either solicited by Spam or added to a Group—who doesn’t even help in the department of honest feedback.
You can’t tell me you’re not fed up. And I’m sure most of you didn’t come to deviant art just to store your writings.
So I came up with a theory, what if they had the opportunity to get the attention they deserve and more? Would they be willing to jump on it?
Of course they would!
Let me ask you this, what personal connection do you have to literature? It's almost as if literature is the air you breathe, no?
As I've stated again and again, I have a goal to bring the Literature Community of Deviant Art back to life. I’m sure I’m not alone and I’m also 100% positive this isn’t the first time you’ve seen this type hope become crushed.
And I’m sure you’re asking, “Alright, how many times do they have to submit something to a group and still see no progress in feedback? How many times do they have to join these events and it’s never legit enough? What makes Your Group so different?”
We’re here to help… That’s the difference…
This isn't about Popularity... It's all about Literature & Commentary...
WE all know the literature of deviant art is slowly decaying and it's time we strive to do better in the community.
I just need you to join.
Thank you for taking your time out to read. If you're interested in participating, here's the [link] . I look forward to having you.

No problem. Any time I come across amazing work that is also inspiring I have to watch the creator of the work to see what they come up with next.

yeah well my dayjob takes so much time that most work showing up in here will propably be photography, but I'll try to manage to make some handywork aswell
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because I do writing, drawing and painting, I am sitting one a massive 'to scan' pile so I totally understand how life can get in the way of making art.
I look forward to seeing more of your photography as you have an awesome eye.

Hi there. Belatedly thankye for the Seasonal well wishing. I hope you spent yours surrounded by people you love.
As to how ya found my page, it is so suitable ya found it via the random deviant button as I am a fairly random kind of person.
Thankye for your kind words. It really means a lot to me that someone who does not know me took the time to offer up greetings for the season, so i thankye from the bottom of my battered heart.

You are most welcome. When I saw the pick that gained you a well deserved DD I was so blown away by it. I had to check your other work and when I saw them I had to add you to my watch list.
So love The Guardian picture.
My nickname is 'The Troll' (due to physical appearance) so I see your emoticon hug and offer up a virtual Troll Hug in return.
Thankyou for your thankyou.
