^{Ever wondered where the art went to around here?

What ever happened to all those people who would flock to your prints account and purchase tons of stuff because they liked your art? What happened to all those constructive comments we used to give, where we'd actually help the artist, rather than just tell them their piece is "1337"? What happened to the good morals of commenting before you favourite?

The good news is the deviantART community still has these ethics infused in our members somewhere. The challenge now is to bring them back.

Bring back the ART to deviantART.

We (~kle0012 and ~kittysyellowjacket) created with this purpose in mind. We miss the good old days of dA, and with your help, and community support, we want to bring back the reason deviantART was created. ART!

Rules (and things we like and are looking for!)

^{Basic Rules for Submitting to BringBackArt:

• Please only submit 1-2 of what you feel are your strongest pieces.

• We are looking for original pieces of art that stand out and deserve more attention.

• Submit the pieces you feel are your strongest and don't be discouraged if we can't showcase them. We do get a lot of requests and try to keep on top of them all!

• Keep trying and spread the word!

What we like!

We like pieces that make you stop and look. We like deep concepts and pretty airy frames. We like artwork that speaks through photography, painting, literature; anything!

What we don't like!

Photos that were taken of you and your drunk friends at last Friday's party. We don't like composition-less photos that look like they should remain on Myspace or Facebook profiles.}

Still on the hunt!

A good read.

My Happy Ending "Either way a happy ending,"
you said to me that day.
My heart burst into butterflies and sent air rushing through my mouth,
forcing my lips back over my teeth into a smile.
Silly girl.

"Yes, I suppose it will be."
Continuing to smile, but now I was lying through it.
Life was a balancing act,
the scales must tip;
I couldn't walk along the middle of the double-edged sword forever.

Still, I was trying to live life like the end of a diving board,
bouncing on in endless hope..
up, down.

I knew I was prepared to..
take the plunge into the waters of your love but
with each passing second
the worries of doubt pushed the plank hMy Happy Ending by ~Sunshine72

Crash "Are you okay?"

Ya.

I'll just store that little sliver of pain away, for later..
when I'm all alone in the middle of the night.
Working on my paper, studying for a test, I'll make a slip-up and
an entire days worth of you will come rushing out from where I stored it,
away, for safe-keeping.

Oh, Lord, I'm breaking down.
(I'll be okay. I'll be okay.)
I picture you hovered over me like you did
that one sunny afternoon in the in-between time between summer and spring (love and lost).
(No, stop. I don't need you..I don't need you.)
And those eyelashes..they frame your almond eyes with such beauty it nearly
makes me cry.

Silly Scarecrow Like silly scarecrows, we decided that maybe hearts weren't such bad things, after all, and perhaps, we might try to have one. Some weeks, years, texts, or phone calls later, we have decided that hearts were a bad idea, and put our particles into Swiss vaults for safe-keeping, because they are exactly the sort of things that people love to steal.

For a time afterward, it's always the smells that catch you off-guard. You can look away from their face, you can walk out of range of their voice, you can block them online, only think of the bad times, and delete their number from your phone to keep you from anything desperate, but you can'tSilly Scarecrow by =oracle-of-nonsense

I will, You will I will, You will

You will leave
I will cry
My heart will break
My soul will die

I will wonder
You will write
My days grow long
My life for spite

You will fight
I will worry
My nights sleepless
My future blurry

I will wait a year
You will too
My sorrow grows
My heart yearns for you

You will change
I will adjust
My love for you stronger
My heart of trust

I will love you more
You will hold me tight
My soul entwines yours
My future looks bright

Is this a dead community? No recent comments out here, and my image, like several others' expired. I just wondered if there might be a better time to submit or if it seems like this group won't be picking up again.

Where's the art you guys keep talking about?

"If I could capture the world as pure and strange as what I see, I
would call that street photography."

~xPoeticallyPathetic Jan 8, 2012

that's a bit harsh

What do you mean?

"If I could capture the world as pure and strange as what I see, I

~xPoeticallyPathetic Jan 8, 2012

it just kind of sounded like you were saying that the work featured here isn't art.

Hi, why is my submission expired? Haven't you seen it or.. All my submissions expire here. Why?

I'm not leaving till you smile back at me.

~Chrislikestodraw Oct 26, 2011

A very good premise for a group, I wish that there were more people on dA who shared your views.

Hello, my pictures always expire prior to the vote, I wonder if I do something wrong or you simply have no time. Regards, Ana
