Artist's Comments
Title is French for "Citizen of the World". A simple shot taken in Canberra, the capital city of Australia.
France has elected its new president just a few days ago, after 12 years of Jacques Chirac. Regardless of the winner and losers, I feel proud of my country for the 86% of vote participation - a few years ago, we were nowhere near this commitment. Even if it stemmed from fear, I am glad it's there now.
Still, it remains sad that people often vote for the candidate's perceived personality and not his/her program, or let their opinion be pre-hashed for them by the general media, always eager to brainwash.
When is enough enough... What difference does it make when popular artist vent vent vent and support a site that tolerates deviant behaviour. HA! no wonder its all in a name.

Your Darkest Dreams is a monthly feature devoted to sharing dark photography works from DeviantArt. Often misunderstood as "morbid" or "depressing", Your Darkest Dreams seeks to show this kind of photography in a new way: by showcasing art that is thought provoking, but at the same time unabashedly displays the beauty in darkness.
I can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that?
A former volunteer with the Artist Relations team, `kuschelirmel has always been a wonderful role model within the community.
With a vibrant and eclectic gallery that would make anyone proud, her dedication to providing informative and easy to follow tutorials, journal CSS, and inspirational stock is clearly long overdue for recognition.
