Goodbye, DeviantART!

NOT ACTIVE ON DEVIANTART ANYMORE! Find me elsewhere:

I'll be focusing my energy on other spaces since DeviantART has chosen to allow unethically sourced AI images to stay on its platform. I will only be sharing art here sparingly, most likely only my Year End Wrap-Ups that invite you to see what art you've missed from me elsewhere.

I appreciate all the support kind people have shown here for the amazing 20 YEARS I've spent on this platform and hope that I find you all elsewhere! DeviantART is not the only game in town and we deserve a platform that listens to its users and pays attention when technology is cannibalizing artists for nefarious purposes and prioritizing profits and trendy tech over people's rights. If things change, perhaps I'll return.

See you around, DA Fam!

My Bio

NOT ACTIVE ON DEVIANTART ANYMORE! Find me elsewhere, mainly Inkblot, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Currently based out of Atlanta, Georgia, I’m an Army brat who grew up with a love for the strange and unusual. The work of fairy tale illustrator, Trina Schart Hyman, inspired me at a young age to pursue illustration.

I draw inspiration from many sources, including surrealism and imaginative realism. Some of my favorite artists include Jason Chan, James Jean, and John Jude Palencar. I also take much inspiration from the comic art and stories of David Mack, Joseph Michael Linsner, and Neil Gaiman.

Say No to AI + Where to Find Me Outside DeviantART by AngelaSasser, journal

Say No to AI + Where to Find Me Outside DeviantART

Dec 18, 2022

After much deliberation, I've decided to take a stand against this site's stance on allowing AI generated imagery in its current unethical state. Until this tech is not based on data laundering of artist's hard work, I won't be participating much with new work here and have cancelled my subscription. I will be more active on Inkblot instead, a site that has taken a firm stance against AI imagery on its platform. This is difficult for me. I've been on DeviantART for 20 years. I've made lifelong friends and have good memories of all the old artwork I shared on here when I was a young, excited artist who turned to this community for support, advice, and encouragement. As of this writing, I have 886 Deviations. Many of you can imagine my horror when I learned that all of my years of work posted with joy and in good faith have been scraped without my consent to train a technology meant to replace the need for artists. Meanwhile, DeviantART irresponsibly joined in on promoting this
