fuck off deviantart

Thu Aug 30, 2007, 1:33 PM

This is the day I definitly left deviantart. My will is to tell every single dick to just fuck off, I'm sick of all this dumb-asses messing all around thinking they're designers for real. Fuck this shit off. All I see on this site is bullshit, admins acting dismissive all the time, staff giving rips "Daily Deviation Award" away and so forth.

This place gave nothing to me but skills with some important feedback I've been receiving since the first day I joined. I'm thankful for all those people who supported me but it's just about time for me to move on.. I can't stand jerks copying websites from each other, creating stupid shit with motos like "Connecting Creative Designers" and shit like "Available for hire". Damn it. I hope that these guys get a life some time in their lifetime 'cause it's just ridiculous. Even my journal design was copied several times.

I'm more into the make-money business, I want other kind of people to see my work rather than "creative-designers" wannabe's..

For those who want to keep in contact, find me at xtra@xtrabold.net. My site is gonna be updated soon, keep an eye on depthCORE also, we got a new release popping up soon.

For those who deserve it, good luck... for all those who don't, get a fucking life and move on.

What I've been up to:

Hello all, how have you been?

It's been a long time since I've submitted something to this site and to be honest, I don't miss anything about deviantart

Well I have some good friends who still check deviantart so I've decided to give a little shout about what's going on with me lately. I've recently moved to São Paulo, I got a job opportunity at Caqui (check out the site, but keep in mind it's 2 years old already

) as Designer and sometimes Art Director. I've been working on some sex'citing stuff for client such as New Balance, Nokia, TIM, among others. It's been a rush since I've got loads of boring stuff to resolve here in my City, so until I finally settle down in Sao Paulo, I have to go home every weekend and it's about 6 hours of travel (I'm a poor hard-working designer and student, I don't have enough money to pay airplane tickets

). Apart from that, I'm living my life at its most. Me and my girlfriend we've never been so happy with each other... times are really good.

In other news, I've been recently interviewed for an article "Succesfull designers under 25" by Computer Arts (next issue) and also am writing a tutorial for Advanced Photoshop so grab a copy on september! Oh and also got a spot on Digital Arts mag, take a look..

I hope that you guys are ok, see you when I see you!
