Back from a sojourn in the real world. Finding Deviant Art even more frustrating than ever - do people ever really look at these portfolios? I am a middle aged (old)anarchist Taoist and Druid, whose revolutionary zeal has paled from the vibrant red and black to a pale pink and grey. I was a professional artist (graphics) then became a psychologist, a university lecturer in social psychology, statistics and philosophy and a Gestalt counsellor. Now mostly retired, thank goodness, but sometimes take freelance work (I couldn't take much more of this brutally money-oriented cess pit of a world). I smoke, but don't drink (blood pressure!) and don't do drugs (dope gives me a headache). All my old vices have caught up to bite me in the ankles, so I'm looking for new ones to replace them. I get frustrated with DeviantArt because nothing seems to get noticed ... ho hum. One day I hope to be filthy rich so that I can retire and live the life of indolence that I was intended for.
