DB CLUB AVATAR CONTEST :

An we have a WINNER!!!:
Her creation is now our official Club's avatar!!!
I think she had not only accomplished the technical requirements, but also understood the feeling and graphic style of the club.
Thanks her for our new graphic identity
rize:

The contest is still open for all of you who want to re-design our avatar.
The original idea was to have 12 good avatars to change them monthly. So, don't be afraid to try!

It must be a good work, this is the only case where we judge the quality of the work, with technical and subjective laws ofcourse, analysing what would go best with the image of the club.

Thank you very much again to ~Little-Miss-Helena for all the effort she put in making this new avatar and to all who sent us their work.

DB HUG CONTEST :


I can see your eyes like 0.0 reading this, but c'mon, I bet everyone of you have seen at least one photo of David with his arm around somebody he admires (and you had dream about been that person too... I did! hahaha).

And I bet that one of those admired by David are admired by you too! (isn't this world gorgeous sometimes??)

So, in honor to the good taste of you and David I propose the following ART contest:

Using any technic you feel into it, you should portrait:

A) DAVID with HIS ADMIRED ONE

B) DAVID with YOUR OTHER ADMIRED ONE (it can be anyone: even a David's character - I`m getting excited )

C) DAVID with YOU (Now I'm deffinitly ON, lol)


If you are vey keen on admiring great people, it can be more than two people in the portrait, no problem at all.


Remember:
upload the work to your gallery and then send a note to the club with the link to it!

This is our new place for your experiences with our beloved David Bowie:
how you meet him? when did you start listening to him? what do you feel seeing him live or in a movie? do you have a dream with him in?
THIS IS THE PLACE TO WRITE ABOUT IT!!!

"Fashion Rocks"
By: ~kaulana
from her original message: [link]

"I was also really upset watching him up there.. I missed him so much! But when I saw him again, it just made me so emotional. I know he's happy and healthy these days, but I just really really really wouldn't be able to live if anything bad happened to him. I guess that's just the effect he has on me.

He was incredible though. He sounded so good, 'Life On Mars?' accompanied only by the amazing Mike Garson on solo piano... was SO beautiful, then 'Wake Up', which is an incredible song, and hearing him sing it, with Arcade Fire, it was so powerful."

"Fashion rocks"
By ~MercureMadHatter

"I missed the fashion rock award but I just saw Bowie performing Life On Mars, I never felt so moved ...

He just appeared on the stage, dressed like a little boy ... an english schoolboy who got beaten up in the school-yard. Those who saw it will know what I mean, he even had make-up on one of his eye as if he had a black-eye. It was just absolutely pathetic and so adorable. Last time I saw him on tv was like in 2000 or something ... When I saw him on stage today he was so different ... his eyes, his face, his voice ... My heart kinda broke when I realised how fragile he was ... You know, sometime you think celebrities are immortal and will never gets old ... especially at my age. At this moment I just realized that David was ... human after all ... Then I just cried and cried and cried 'til the end of the song ... I know this may sound childish and stupid ...

From now on, I see him like a human being as much as an immortal legend ... and I love him more than ever.

Am I the only one who cried so much about that show ? I feel kinda weird now ..."

"Dunno what to call this...an epiphany?"
By: ~ValtristusBloodstar

"I have not always been a David Bowie lover. To be honest, I have only recently begun to listen to his music and I love it more than any other music i've ever heard before. Bus, just tonight, I heard a song for the first time called "Rock-n-Roll Suicide" Sung by our dearest "Ziggy Stardust." The song started out soft and melodic and I was enjoying my cd as I was elbow deep in dish water at the kitchen sink. Then, as the song grew louder, I began to really listen to what he was saying. As I listened to Ziggy's wistful and melancholy verses, I began think about them and how they related to me so closely. I thought about my grandfather's death and how I stood silently at the foot of his bed on the night he died. I thought about the things I should have said and done and I felt the guilt and misery overtake me as it so often does these days. Well, as I sank into my thoughts, I could still hear Ziggy murmering sadly through my headphones and I felt the weight of my cd player in my pocket, but I had stopped paying attention to the words. Then I heard a second long pause, then" "Oh no love, you're not alone. No matter what a fool you've been..." That jolted my attention and I almost dropped my pan. "All the nights seem to lacerate your brain, I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain, you're not alone!!" The sheer heartache in his voice ripped out every ragged stitch holding my soul together and I just hung my head and rinsed off my pan and stuck it in the drainer. "Give me your hands, 'cause you're WONDERFUL!!, Give me your hands!" That nearly killed me. I finished my dishes, went to my room and grabbed a pen and paper before I was crying too hard to see the paper and the words that i'm sending you now. I listened to the very same song on endless repeat as I wrote all this down and every time I hear it, it seems to thread a stronger stitch in my heart where the old one was torn out. It will take much more time and something really special to heal me enough to pull me out of the depression I've locked myself into. But, David's music and sincere words and the heartwrenching emotion in his voice is the one thing that set my foot in the crack in the wall of the well, and I think that it is more than enough to give me the strength to drag myself out of my sorrow and guilt and self-loathing. I HAVE been a fool I HAVE been pathetic. But I AM wonderful and I am NOT alone. It just took an old David Bowie song, a sink full of dishes and my Ziggy Stardust obsession to help me realize it."

Uncle's mix
By:

"YAY! I'm here! I, like many others, first met David when I was really small in Labyrinth. But I din't like "him" until I was 12. My Dad had just bought this old convertable out of nowhere, just for no reason at all other then it was a stick-shift and so fun to drive in. I was on the comp one night when he suddenly just pulled me up and decided we were going on a long ride. We got in, and he put on a Bowie mix my uncle had made. As the songs went on and on, I knew I was completely in love. Then Starman came, which was the only one I recognized. It was really strange. It seemed so familiar yet I knew I had never heard it before. I was in heaven. It was a week into the Summer, I was carefree and there was nothing but me, my Dad, the road, the stars above, and Bowie blasting. Then I met Ziggy later. My dad knew I had loved Starman, so he had gone downstairs and found his old copy of it and I borrowed it for a bit. Bowie opened up my whole mind. It's really funny, but Bowie helped this Tomboy get in better touch with her feminine side. I've blabbed for too long, but that's my story".

"A few words" (May 21)
By: *CinnamonAndSpite

I've loved him and his music for as long as I can remember. Facination... vague obsession... adoration... Bowie rocks. When I was in London I spent two hours trying to find Brixton just to walk on the streets that the young Bowie did. ( ^_^ ) It was totally worth it!

"Bowie Dreams" (Nov 8)
By: ~slapyouwithafish

wel i have many dreams about him ermmm. too many i cogh cough........
but theyre fun!
um there was this dream where i was in school and it was sports day. Come to think of it, it was a pretty good sports day coz david was one of the attractions! well no-one really likes david bowie in my area (small rural town Enniscorthy in Ireland )(except for this hairdresser who has a salon called Ziggys) (who im in love with!!!)so there wasn´t many at the concert! (i know terrible!)and he was in his ziggy persona and theres this vivid image of him screaming and throwing his hand into the crowd! (great dream)
anywhoo he was having a fag and he had this brown leather jacket on and i took it upon myself to go up to him and say hi! (as you would!)
so i went up and then he looked at me and said with wide open eyes and a gorgeous smile on his face ´Hey! i know you! youre the one who screamed at me IM ZIGGY STARDUST!!!!´
suprisingly i didnt talk to him for long and went to the bouncy castle... quite a nice dream!

i had this other dream where i was bowie´s producer!
(fun dream)
well it was all going well recording some new material and bowie was in the booth to sing and he had his gospel choir for backing (rather like what you see in the special features in labyrinth!!)
and eh he was singing some new song and he got all passionate but i reconised the song......

It went like: hey la hey ha looohah! WOOOHOOO!

HE RIPPED OFF THE BEATLES!!!!
(the part at the end of strawberry feilds forever!)
and my eyes met his (very vividly...still gives me shivers!) and he knew i knew....
but we all joined in at the end coz it was too passionate!

i love my dreams!!!

This is a Journal where I will post some DA rules for you to not get BANNED

This doesn´t mean that I love rules, but that I love you all and don´t want you to get into troubles.

Wondering about doing a photomanipulation of a pic you have found online? As normal as it can be, there is a rule for that kind of stuff!:

"Using work that is not yours (like images just found online) without the explicit permission of the original artist or copyright holder is against DA policy. This policy is strict, regardless of whether you can find out who owns the photo or not, and whether you can contactthem for permission or not.
Please read
FAQ #157: Can I use things created by other people in my submissions? [link]
and
FAQ #257: I have permission to use someone else's work in my deviation. Now what? [link]
If you see others violating this policy, please use the Report Violation button beneath the deviation to bring it to the attention of the appropriate admins."

I may add that in place of pressing that "Report Violation Button", FIRST you should give a kind advise to the deviant who surely didn´t know about DA rules.

For more info please check the DA Help Desk [link]
it´s hard for me to find what I´m looking for, so I usually write to them there too.
