the unbearable lightness ofWhat she really wanted takes shape in her reflections
in a face photographed that never looks like her.
She runs across town squares with dingy statues
and flitting sparrows; she finds herself
laughing within puddles, or
in dorm room mirrors, pale and
swollen and caked in cosmetic.
Locks on motel doors can be picked with rubber bands, but
sufficed for an hour of indiscretions. She was sly, shy,
stroked your stomach carefully.
She wanted the reassurance of your voice on her neck.
Fading colors flutter on the breeze that springs when
twilight conquers sunset. A short alphabet coats her
gold skin like oil, soaked into her dress. It clogs
her voice with a brief dictionary of words misunderstood.
The smell of cloud bank musings lingers on her wrists;
April is tangled in her hair
and you're still chasing Decembers.
All she wanted was the rubble of book discussions,
the leftovers of arguments concerning the usage of "sporadic"
Never mind that you two threaded promises acr

Vintage typography by essfero
The suggestor says: "The deviant is a brand new member of DeviantArt and this is his first submission. It, however, already shows the artist's incredible sense of detail. The design is very fresh and the vivid colours are very uplifting." and i can only agree to that. (Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by pica-ae)

I caught you, my star by PrinceVi
suggester said: "This vector is quite simple in composition but it's absolutely adorable. The concept behind it is very relatable and brings me the cuddly feeling that I associate with childhood and dreams."
(Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by LineBirgitte)

This vector as well as the artist's reaction just brightened up my day!

Brumes... by vincentfavre
meganjoy said; "Amazing gradient. All I can say is that it's a stunning view!"

drop-asd said; "There's something hauntingly beautiful about the morning light captured in the fog that the photographer has done a great job capturing. The contrast between the gloominess of the area enveloped in fog and the brightly lit hills is astounding!"
(Featured by Anoya)

I suggested this piece alongside another one from the same photographer which shows a praying mantis against a setting sun and which I honestly liked more.

La torture... by ~blackfunnyduck
Suggester drop-asd says, "This photograph evokes in me the notion of something wild, something savage that can't be tamed, something dangerous, uncontrollable. Perhaps it's an effects of the ropes and the dark shadows of the photo as well as the glistening skin of the model, which creates an impression of a great physical effort. The ropes also remind me of lianas and therefore the jungle. In my eyes this is the modern Lara Croft - bold, athletic, reckless and hot."

Suggester pinkplaidrobot says, "I love how sexy and strong this piece is! The model has such a strong pose and her expression is beautiful. Like a release. The shadow and sheen of her body and how it mimics the rope. It almost seems like it's one with the model, like some muscular tether, is just awesome." (Featured by Nyx-Valentine)

Cube X by Piratu-oi
The suggester says, "This image carries the surrealism of the rest of the series as well as another series from the same photographer, which is purely in white. The difference here is the black paint which spreads across the model's chest. It gives the photograph a gloomy, disturbing nuance that adds to the uneasy feeling of sterility given by the white colour and the bandages. This is an exemplary specimen of the surreal artistic nude." (Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by Nyx-Valentine)

You're So Cute. by Dastorm-Photography
The suggester says; "I suppose what I most like about this photo is the subtlety of it. It is quite rarely that the horror genre presents a photograph in which you have to imagine the story yourself. But it gives the viewer such delicious and disturbing hints about it that it's a creepy adventure to try to come up with the details about it. There's also something decidedly inhuman in the hands, the way they seem detached from a body, the way they seem to "crawl". It creates associations with a scary monster hiding somewhere in a haunted house waiting to be awaken. It gives me goosebumps to even think about it!"
(Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by pullingcandy)


This photographer is very prominent and persistent in the horror genre. Both Kay and I agreed she simply HAS to be featured but we had a hard time choosing one particular photograph.

"Travels in Tau" by Fortesque
The Suggester said: "There's something haunting and mysterious about this painting. It's like a well-written story - it has a plot, a main character and it's very colourful." (Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by Atramina)

Vulgaric by EYESEEphotography
"I adore how the savage nuances combine with the glamour - the contrast is fantastic! This photograph also shows incredible attention to details such as the make-up, the tattoo, the hairdo, which brings associations with something wild and untameable."
(Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by DistortedSmile)

Oh how I love when the wild combines with the glamourous! This photo is simply irresistible.

As cold as Ice by MetamorphosisV
The suggester says, "The poses and the bodypaint are used extremely well to create the concept and both photographers have captured the scenes in an incredible way. I love this project because of how creative and original, how out-of-the-box it is." (Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by Nyx-Valentine)

This is a collaborative project between the featured photographer and LailaPregizer. I wished I could have both of them featured.

The Observatory Gardens II by Tolkyes
drop-asd says: "I love all of the artist's work but this one stands out to me with its crisp quality and the realism of the forms. There are so many magical details to look at - you can literally get lost in this painting."(Suggested by drop-asd and Featured by MidnightExigent)

An artist whose work I've kept coming back to and kept suggesting.

Extraordinary design and dramatisation of form lend to the charm and uniqueness radiating from Oh, San Francisco by SirBumboom. A closer look is certainly not to be missed in order to appreciate all the fabulous details, from the bold character of the work surface, to the fine intricacies that make up the fabric of the woman's dress. Please enjoy. (Featured by snowunmasked)

I remember initially suggesting another work from the artist's gallery and since my name wasn't in the suggester's slot I didn't realize at first it was the same suggestion. It was only later that I found out and was really thrilled for the artist.
