And now it's time for another randomly long journal entry. :ahoy:

This is my mini rant on art fraud. Yeah, I know this is what everyone in this community bitches about. *roll eyes* Well whatever, this is my little input. I'd just like to say that these losers out there that pretends that someone else's work is their own is just plain stupid on their part. I mean what goes on in these people's head? "Oh that's a nice picture, I think I'll pretend I drew it! *right click --> save*"  Cause Picasso would totally take a Gauguin piece and tell everyone he did it. 0_o I mean, these great artists are sharing their work with the world and some idiot does something like that.

But to be honest there many totally anal artists about this kind of stuff too. They get pissed off and all whiny because random people are saving deviations on to their computers. So what? Saving something on to your computer is totally harmless. Don't you think? I personally don't mind, because for one thing, it's not like I can stop anyone from doing it. (unless I take my gallery down. But that would be stupid reason to take it down anyway.)

However, lately I've been getting some e-mails concerning using my works for buttons, layouts and graphics. If anyone would like to use my work (or anyone else's for that matter) for this kind of thing, an e-mail requesting permission is greatly appreciate it. I'm usually pretty okay with this kind of thing if credit is given, so please don't neglect contacting me ;)

Anyways!
I'm sure everyone has realized how pissed Mother Nature has been lately. (what with the hurricanes, tsunamis, flods, etc..) And with damn good reason. I'm surprised we haven't been completely smited down here, considering Brazil's retarded recycling systems, and the deforestation  of the Amazon to make room for grazing cattle - and people still look at me like I'm crazy when I say I'm a vegetarian and don't eat cows. :shrug: [link] <-- kick ass site.

As for the Politics:
Brazilian Politics. You know what? I think I'd rather spare you.

Etc…:
I bombed my math test big time last week. BIG big time. I'm so upset.

OH btw - back to the e-mails I've been getting relating to my deviant art gallery, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. (however please refrain from sending me e-mails asking for my msn, myspace, screen name or whatever if I have absolutely no idea who you are - oh and if I do know, please identify yourself ;o_o)

Okay, I'm done

Concordo com vc. Acho que a partir do momento que um artista coloca seu trabalho na internet, é uma autorização para quem quiser salvar no seu computador, fazê-lo. Um exemplo? Vic Muniz. O produto final da arte dele são fotos, para ele ganhar dinheiro você precisa comprá-las. O que ele faz? É muito, muito difícil vc achar uma foto dele em boa resolução na internet. Eu já procurei para trabalhos... Outro exemplo? *kolaboy. O arquivo dele nunca é muito grande, dá pra gente ter uma idéia da arte dele, sem dar espaço pras pessoas se apropriarem.
Então é isso. O artista não pode se fazer de ingênuo e bater o pé quando alguém salvar no computador. Se ele não quer, ele tem meios para isso não acontecer.
