~WalkinginDreamlight has started a donation pool!
480 / 2,000
The goal of the donated points is to pay for a membership, and also for a few ideas I have that will bear fruit, hopefully, later in the year (not going to say too much about those for now - will see how the points collection goes first).

Also don't forget my personal commissions journal entry - [link] - I am hoping that this will help alot with the collection of :points:

Thank you kindly for all :points: generously donated.

You must be logged in to donate.
I've been thinking for a little while now about doing commissions of fractal art for people, and I like to make special gifts for my friends :)

I have no idea how much my art might be worth to someone, as I believe in gifts for people and not really charging them for it.

So, I'm going to try this out, and it will only be for a 'points' kind of thing, whereby you can message me with a theme or title for the work you might like to be created and if you like what I have made for you, you can decide how many points it is worth - does this sound like a plan? :)

The personalisation or message and your icon would go in the description box.

The reason I'm looking at commissions is because I would like to upgrade to premium membership for my account and also there is a group I help with called, :iconfeature-it-monday: and any commission points would be stored until we decide what to do with them for the group.

This is something very new for me and I will see where it leads...

If you're interested, just send me a message, with the title: personal commission :)

Please check out my fractal gallery so you can see the type of fractal art I make - [link]

I've been thinking recently about more collaborations between my poetry and other types of art here on DA, since there has been
some accidental success with this already:


Collaboration between Myself and other DA artists:

and
Heart of MysteryChaotic symmetry
is sometimes seen
as form within mystery
where outer layers of
words and meaning
let the eyes freefall
into colours
that envelope
the eye of the mind
clarity and reason
showing the heart
of the mystery
to be a place where
there are no
beginnings
and
The Waiting of TimeLike the shadows
of hours gone by
I contemplate
the waiting of time
when the worries
around my heart
dismiss reality
hoping for your return
like the petals
of poppies outside
opening after the rain
of a summer storm
and
Kneeling in WavesCollapsed
in fear
with
overburdened
heart
the waves
of the sea
around me
weigh me down
unable
to stand
and be free
like the birds
far above me
and

Art that has inspired me to write poetry:

ExpectationsExpectations
are often keys
to sealed vaults
within the chambers
of our hearts
nurtured by dreams
of fond moments
on warm summer days
where pleasure was known
and there it remains
as memories to think about
sitting by a windowsill
until the ways and means
of reunitement are obtained
and
By Stars I'm KnownContemplation
only seems
to make sense
when I feel myself
being reborn
as red stars
exploding
across space
and
Perfect TimePortraits
of lives
captured
in moments
of perfect
time
and
Fishing Boats AboveEarth and Sea symbiosis
is becoming ever more dangerous
with wide nets from fishing boats above
cascading with silent weight
dropped from above the limits
of our watery sky
to entrap such beautiful life below
including myself - with tears in my eyes
as I use a discarded shell
to slice the grids of reeking fish guts
before they tear me from my life
in this enchanted waterland
and
Lights across HeavenThrough many planes
of sacrifice and pain filled years
of life without laughter
all too serious sometimes
my journey and learning
brought me here
to this moment
where the sight of stars
multitude of magnificence
the lights across Heaven
hurts my eyes with such beauty
that cannot be described
but needs to be felt before
the flesh that surrounds my history
is discarded for a new path
the Travelling of Mind
and
Spring's Breeze I BreatheWhen tides of white
from winter's snow
has retreated back
allowing spring growth
the land awakens more
and the scents heralding
spring's breeze I breathe
for a short while I know
my passionate dreams
will be like buds opening
to the sun that makes
the world around me grow
and
GreenWandering along lines of green
their texture differing
beneath my feet
either side of me
colours stretch
as far as I can see
as I approach the horizon
sound becomes silence
and place my face
through the veil-like wall
I see floating
snowflakes of
coloured light
disappearing into
the distance
becoming atoms of life
and
ProtoplasmiaProtoplasmia
liquid blue incrued
gelatanious tendrils
drifting through the
spaces between
Sleep and Dreams
and
Colours of MotionColours of motion
fanned by air
the breeze between
thought
refracted light so rare
and yet
anyone who has created
something from an idea
that grew
and evolved
into
form made real
has felt
the meaning
of this rainbow
making them
smile
and
Rainbows in Empty SpaceEach drop
of rain
brings with it
the nucleus
of life
reflecting sunlight
becoming
rainbows in
empty space
and
Timeless GraceTimeless grace
of angels
from old places
skilled in swordplay
instead of wings
and
Our Dreams Forever TravelColours of rings
joined together
create tunnels
through which
our dreams
forever travel
and
CuriosityWho are you
to look at me
with your
imperfections
imprinted in the lines
of your face
and the fear
behind your eyes
as you look upon
the masque of white
and see only the gold
of my clothing
the failure to see the
curiosity in my eyes
is an impression
of your mind
not mine
and
Where the Truth of Colour LivesWas there ever an intense stare
of eyes in face so pure
that spoke of hidden lives
across
many miles of spacial wonders
where galaxies are born in beauty
that takes an eternity to fade
stars
that twinkle in alien skies
under which life-forms dream
about
the eye of the universe
where the truth of colour lives
as
a corona dropping into blackness
which is a doorway in
to the dreaming mind
and
Last SmileOh, how does beauty
define creation
when the polished
look of porcelain
shifts like tectonic plates
with wry emotion
and sometimes a smile

to one day go from
worshipful beauty
with sapphire gleams
in eyes that now fade

and forgotten in the shadows
the cracks are now severe
unmaking this monument
pieces broken and falling

with no one to see
the sadness of
my last smile
and
Moment's CountThrough what infinity
does a moment count
when here and now
is why we were born
the ephemeral nature
of doves in flight
a kiss of longing
hands gripping
our bodies so tight
as our souls take flight
and
Through Empty ChambersThoughts that drift
towards light that breathes
through empty chambers
of forgotten places
where not even rocks
believe in growth
...anymore...
and
Sunset's FallO watery world
filled with shrimps and crabs
saltwater lives
where seaweed sways
from side to side
gentle surf
whispers across
chorus rocks
as lonely invertebrate
inside a fisherman's cage
watches the glow
of sunset's fall
with eyes
that understand love
and
Sadness of a SmileWhat wept tears
from past events
does one need
to remember
where emotion is
deemed a discourse
of many sorrows
reflection in eyes
empty and hollow
the sadness of a smile
that only knows
where the remnants
of lost ghosts reside
and
With Each Brush StrokeColour brings life
which wept wet drops
onto canvas dry
changing moments
that were blank
untamed thoughts
stretched taught
on the outside

Appearing
abit here and there
colours from liquid
take form and spread
the blankness shrinking
for now it sighed
a panopoly of emotions
from each brush stroke
that gave breath
which culminates
in the creation
of a painting
and

There have been others and would take ages to link up (so I've only used recent examples)

If anyone is interested in adding poetry to their art, then please let me know via "Note" with a direct link to your art you'd like the poem for; I won't be able reply to everyone, just those whose images call to me.

Please don't respond with anime or cartoon drawings. I primarily work with photographs, photomanipulations, paintings, or images that have a metaphysical/spiritual quality to them.

Hi :)

What a nice gesture that you have invited me to your special event.

I must admit I don't have a lot of time to spare, because I already co-found another wonderful group with mixed-media artists, here on DA, and between my fractal art and writing the odd poem here, and there, and not forgetting, life in general - I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to commit the time to join.

Many thanks for the consideration of myself and my work though :)

Have a nice day!

Good Afternoon,



I want you to become apart of an event I'm hosting for the literary community of DA. It's pretty large and 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.

I sent an angel to watch over you last night but it came back. I asked "why?" The angel said "angels don't watch over angels."Twenty one angels are IN your world. Ten of them are sleeping, Ten are playing, one is reading this message. Send this to ten friends including me. I guess if I don't get it back I'm not one of them. As soon as you get five replies, someone you love will quietly surprise you. Please read, not joking. God has seen you struggling with something. God says its over. A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God send this message on. Please don't ignore it. You are being tested. God is going to fix two things BIG tonight in your favor. DROP Everything and pass it on. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. Don't break this chain. Send to 14 friends in 10 minutes. It's not that hard.
