Like the header said, this week has not been great. I got the news about the death of Rob Reiner and how messed it was, and things kinda went from there. At work I am getting micromanaged from a couple of different angles. It doesn't seem like you can ever just come to work and do your work, some idiot always wants to change everything. There's been potlucks and cakes but in the end it's still work and somebody has always got to try and ruin it. No matter what else is going on is having its next deadline :                    Will you join? Ooooo artness! You guys should really explore the galleries of these talent folk! Oooo how about songs? What if there was two songs? Thank you for being here with me again! I don't know what I would do without my DA friends! Do something nice for you, cuz you are great!

My plans for my Thanksgiving trip down to see the family in Sacramento are still on. This will be a slightly shorter trip, but it'll be nice to get away just the same. My new story from October reached 150,000 words on Friday. How about you guys? Are you on a NANWRIMO? If you were on it would you still come on DA to tell me? Is it a secret? Oh! And I have gone to the gym again this weekend, to help the foots and to promote the general health No matter what else is going on is having its next deadline :                    Will you join us? Behold the talent tower! I stacks real tall! You should probably click on each picture and visit the artist's profile and see that there is more to like there too! There are gonna be some more songs! Just one more, please? Buddies! Thank you for coming around and looking and listening! I am so happy when you are here!

This selection isn’t a ranking but simply a personal choice, bringing together artists who have already received a Daily Deviation and others who, I believe, deserve one in the future.   At a time when artificial intelligence takes up so much space, I feel it’s important to highlight the richness of handmade art. A painting, a drawing, or a collage requires time, patience, and the artist’s full commitment.   I also curate AI-based creations on DeviantArt, and I remain very selective there as well. For me, the most important thing is always quality and the emotion the work conveys.   I may be especially sensitive to this because, before becoming a photographer, I studied painting at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. That experience gave me a special connection with traditional art, one I’m glad to share here.   Finally, the cover collage is by @tomigon , an artist whose talent I
