^{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!

Let me breathe

You're crushing my dreams
This is really the way it seems.
And as I sit here
with tears rolling down my cheeks,
fighting the urge to cry,
holding it all in like always,
because I don't want you to see my weakness,
I realize how much you're bringing me down.
Really pushing me to the ground
When, finally, I summon up the courage
to tell you my plans and hopes,
you bind them in ropes
and suffocate them
like you're suffocating me.
Let me breathe
Let me breathe without being afraid
of your words and voice that scares me,
the voice that has scared me my entire life.
You're supposed to be my dad
You're supposed to be the one guLet me breathe by =WeAreABeautifulMess

Alone

You were alone from the start,
But you didn't care back then.

You were special.

So special that no one could understand you.
But that was special too.
No one could reach you in your bubble.

Then the others came.
They were more special.
You pulled away.
While being surrounded you felt so alone.

Until you were really alone.
And no one could understand you.
Not even you.

You tried to change.
But the bubble was strong.
You kicked and screamed, but no one noticed.
That was what the bubble was for.

Then came the time when they pushed you away.
They couldn't have known you are different.
Are you different?

you drifted away,

We Are All GoingThomas Edison's last words were:
It's very beautiful over there.
And Mr Barrie said: I can't sleep
Before he dreamed his way to Neverland.

And seventy-four years later,
When it was Mr Jobs' time to go
He said Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Before he left this world.

Let's go and see the other side
And touch the clouds with our lost lives.
But maybe there's just plain old darkness,
That's familiar even though it's cold.

Mr Darwin said he was not afraid,
And Ms Austen asked for nothing but it
The revolution that was Mr Marx said:
Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.
And no they didn't, they never said enough.

Abandoned Memories - poem

1. What happened to those feelings
That I felt so long ago?
What happened to my memories
That I used to know?

2. Sometimes I'll walk across,
An old familiar path,
And my brain tries to remember,
But it can't and so I laugh.

3. But every smile must fade,
And every laugh must end,
I spent my childhood making memories,
That were forgotten round the bend.

4. I sit in an old, creaky chair,
That smells of dust and must,
Which brings a warm and golden feeling,
But still no pictures, still unjust.

5. And I envy those who can speak,
Of times from long ago,
Who can talk from firsthand accounts,
And spread their memories so.
