Before we begin, if you are interested in featuring Traditional, Digital, Literature or Miscellaneous artwork please go here.



Traditional Selection



Kaikaikiki



Kaikaikiki's work may look abstract but if you're wondering why many of the pieces are classified as landscapes or animals, then you need to look closer. The tiny characters embedded into abstract style scenery create unique pieces of art that you'll love. They are all so full of life and action you can't help but feel rejuvenated. A big smile on your face will testify to that after you full view.

ifsandbuts



As most traditional artists know, watercolor is pretty darn hard, but ifsandbuts has found a way to create these soft, gentle pieces that have a wonderful spirit to them. You can't help but over the technique, and you love looking at the little tiny details.

The painting's by ja5on are so perfect, there are some beautiful compositions and clever use of lighting. The textures are perfect and I love the studies of refractions and reflections.

Digital Selection



robcamp1000



robcamp1000 truly was hidden gem when I first discovered him. Each work of art possesses untold beauty and plenty of imagination. His detailing is precise and his coloring is perfect. robcamp1000's pieces have a flawless complexity and they deserve a minute or two of your day to be checked out !

_{baKIN's Feature}





Elaynies



This magical touch in Elaynies's gallery clearly shows through the details in her art. Fairies, dragons and many fantasy characters can show the broad imagination and creativity she has. Her smooth colors will put you in a happy mood that you will carry along the whole day.

Literature Selection



Term-the-Schmuck

The Easter Journal
April 23, 1916 – Easter Sunday
My family found it interesting that this year my twentieth birthday coincided with the rising of our Lord.  I didn’t really think much of it.  Perhaps I should have been somewhat proud of the similarity, but it wasn’t exactly the most pressing issue on my mind.  Father got me a present this year, just like he said he would.  He spent nearly all of his money to buy me a Winchester 1897 12-gauge shotgun that was smuggled into the country.
It was hard to come by ever since those damned Brits put up the imported weapons ban.  But Father didn’t want me to be stuck with some German piece of junk like everyone else.  He insisted on getting me something that was American-made.  You know how he’s obsessed with the Yanks.  If he could, he’d pack up everything we had and go right to America.  Hell, he already considers himself one with that Drunken Jersey
Here I sit again
Alone with a 40 in my lap
And as I reach into the box
I pull out a warm brew and say:
Here's to Drunken Jersey
Home of my sorrow
Bringer of my resolve
This liquid happiness to keep me company.
She dumped me not a few hours ago
Something about the way I ate
It all just seems like a blur
When the booze starts to take affect
Here's to Drunken Jersey
Home of my sorrow
Bringer of my resolve
This liquid to happiness to mend my heart.
I lost my job just today
Kicked out for being late
Well I don't need that boring work
At least that's what Jackie-D is tellin' me
Here's to Drunken Jersey
Home of my sorrow
Bringer of my resolve
This liquid happiness to quell my rage.
I fell into depression just the other day
The doc tells me to pop some meds
But who needs those pricey pills
When rum and Coke even me out fine?
Here's to Drunken Jersey
Home of my sorrow
Bringer of my resolve
This liquid happiness to settle my nerves.
My buddy partied with me last night
He gave me this joint to tr

The Easter Journal | Drunken Jersey | Jersey's Sins: The Family

Tons of good deviants featured this month, I feel it's getting better with the selections and I thank the people that send them in and the staff who features these amazing writers.

This month's feature though, always hard to decide, mind you; goes to Term-the-Schmuck. He has demonstrated with superfluous ability to conjure a storm of deep plots within his stories. The Easter Journal is a great example with added historical accuracy for all you history buffs, defines the perspective of a soldier fighting the Irish revolution through his eyes. So many great works in his gallery, have fun perusing it, and see you next time in August!

_{TwilightsFall's Feature}





JShay

too tense anymore-no, but I'm here to be honest
there was a swift progression of
                   steps and lines and
we went crashing into eachother
   because it's all we knew how.
You tend to deny what can happen
what could've been and
             is when you're not thinking about it
but the movements get too swift
and you get too
shaky-
..but my muscles are an earthquake, too, and I just want to be
over with you, but I can't
               quit, and you, clearly, can't either. Shape and ExclamationWhen we were young and you were braver
                  it was called a call to arms
                            and I denied it
            with my bubble-feet and
       swivel hips.
           You used a pencil,
                       but quit too soon.
           You used the wood winds
                       but ran out of air. Fixation from 20 mi.When photogenetics
     are ruined due to fear
of that one seeing
           a photo of you
   and seeing something he may
                                       not like.
         All the stars cannot move
close together enough to keep me
           from seeing the sky
                 that I hope to see his
       face in or
               maybe I am just hoping
  that he is just a fantasy
 
too tense anymore | Shape and Exclamation | Fixation from 20 mi.

I've had a really good time choosing features this month, coming across a lot of fantastic deviants who I had never before heard of. JShay is one of these and he's my favourite for this month, take a look at his poetry and you'll soon see why.

darkdescartes

Addicted to Self-RighteousnessJames Hairston is clean, and don’t you forget it. He gotta drive us all over everywhere, just to prove he can. Orders his coffee caffeine-free, ain’t never had a drink or a smoke in his life. His damn station wagon has so many bumper stickers on it. Proud to be smoke-free. See Dick drink, see Dick drive, see Dick die, don’t be a Dick. National Alliance Against Drug Use. Even D.A.R.E. He’s like a health teacher, back in junior high. “That marijuana’s bad for you, Bill. I care about your safety, and it’s going to kill you. I can help you quit.” Shut up, man! Why’s he even hang out with us? I heard his fiancé, Paula, is a smoker. What’s he doing marrying a smoker?
                                           Plans Turn Back Into GoalsThe barricades are in the final
Stage of their decay
The cracks turn into fissures
And the fissures melt away
The rubble isn't ruin
For the sun comes shining through
My pathways are illuminated
(As are yours for you).
The freedom I've been waiting for
Is close enough to taste
(I hope my taste buds waken
So it will not go to waste)
For every hour I've spent at home
Defacto deaf and dumb
I'll speak when I am better
(If better I ever become)...
I'm almost free to sit outside
Cross-legged in the night
My back against a sandstone wall
And work by laptop light
Adjacent to my future
I will rot from people's sight
And never know the fear
That what I'm doing isn't right.
I see myself in India
And once in Singapore
Convincing those who hurt me
That they really made me soar
I'll make myself a Heaven
As mobile as my Hell
And take back up God's workload
(If I ever do get well)…
I see myself in Moscow
And in Prague and in Ukraine
And though I'll throw away most things
I'll only stand to gain
I'll be When Happy Birthday Isn't...How do you wish a happy birthday
to someone you don't even know?
How do you guess their age,
and, more importantly, their feelings
about getting older?
How do you pick an adjective
when "happy" may not be enough
to stave off grief
or augment joy?
I wish you the best of luck -
but you can tell I don't really
when I sound like a fancy Hallmark card.
Enjoy the cake.
Your family might be too poor to buy cake.
It may be that Aunt Emily
refused to let your parents
buy a perfect, forever user-friendly
refrigerated confection with lukewarm sentiments
and instead baked you a warm spiced fruit
atrocity filled with love.
Or you may be one of those people
who will have a very large cake
but will refuse to take a bite.
(I sympathize.)
Whoever you are,
on your birthday,
may your feet not fall asleep
without the rest of you.
That's the best I could do.
Addicted to Self-Righteousness | Plans Turn Back into Goals | When Happy Birthday Isn't

Wow, my first full month as literature staff has been manic! It is astounding and reassuring to know that in our humble literature corner, there are so many diamonds to be found.

I have chosen darkdescartes as my Monthly feature to round off the month of celebration for this deviant! Not only did they win my Addiction competition back in April and get featured here there and everywhere, the same entry was nominated for a Daily Deviation! Deservingly too, darkdescartes has an excellent clarity to her writing and a style that captivates any reader.

Looking forward to the next month ahead!

Miscellaneous Selection



chove-stock



chove-stock does quite extraordinary Stock Photography work, and it's my pleasure to have her featured in our July issue. Each series that she creates has a bit of originality to accompany the great poses and models. Check out her art account, chove, for more great work from this artist!

HarleyQuinn1121



I've really fallen in love with HarleyQuinn1121's style. The poses and composition of the faeries in this gallery are gorgeous and unique, each with its own brand of whimsy, and I can't help but smile and admire the craftsmanship and imagination involved in making them.
