I know I have been featured in so many places I lost count. But this time the world renown Scientific American Mind magazine featured me! A very small feature, but hey! I'm still very honored! Amazing.

I have been a reader and fan of their magazine for many years.

Here is the article: [link]

You may need a subscription to see the images, or you could buy the March/April printed version ;)
I had to share these. This is one of the best line artists in the world. Ronald Monroe is the man behind the mathematical precise hundreds of thousands of little tiny lines which make stunning drawing. His 'bank note quality' could be used to actually draw real money for the Federal Reserve!

If you're still not watching him you really should! :iconronmonroe:

Here are some examples of his astounding work:

             

The amount of work and effort needed for this is genius level and nothing less, he's just too humble and kindhearted to recognize that.

Amazing Artist.
Hi, just a quick entry to divulge my Official Facebook page.

Like it and Share it! However my new drawings will always be released here first and with much better quality.

I will not answer any communications or messages there, I really have no time for that.

If you want to message me do it through DeviantArt please. Thank you for understanding.

False Facebook account

Someone created a facebook account pretending to be me. It is NOT me.

This facebook account: [link] is not mine.

I never created a facebook to share what I do. I only do it here, on DeviantArt exclusively.

So if you are 'friends' with this impostor I'm sorry to tell you that you've been fooled.

I'm sorry if he/she, while impersonating me, offended you in any way.

You can help by reporting this to facebook so they can take appropriate action.

If this is only a 'fan' page, I'm sorry, but it should say so ON such page.

Contest at #AllWomen

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 14, 2012, 12:59 PM
My artwork has been one of the  nominated at this group: #AllWomen to choose the 'best ever female portrait on deviantART', in their own words.

10 works were chosen from 77 member suggestions.

Only members can vote, if you're a member don't forget visit their journal entry to cast your vote!

I voted for number 2. Really striking work.

I don't care if I win or not, the fact that the users chose my work to be among the best 10 ever is a great honor to me. (even though it's highly relative because everyone has different tastes and no work is better than any other)

Best regards,

Sam

2052 watchers and DD's

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 7, 2012, 9:45 AM
First I wanted to thank my 2052 watchers, without them most of my work would go unnoticed. A few months ago I was nobody to the Art world, now I am still nobody, but at least 2052 people like to see what I have to share and that makes me feel good about what I do and what I still intend to do.

Second of all, I wanted to thank all the people who suggested my work for a Daily Deviation. My work hasn't been suggestible for a DD for the past 6 months, that's because I already had a DD 6 months ago and DeviantArt rules clearly state that a Deviant can only get another DD after at the very least 6 months from the previous one have passed.

So if you had the kindness to suggest my work when it wasn't going through, you can now suggest it again because now it is eligible again. Thank you very much again for taking the time and effort. And make sure to read the rules of the people who take suggestions, if you don't follow their rules chances are your suggestion will not be considered.

Thank you all for the extraordinary support!

Sam
