I learned today that Andreas Knoll AKA MetalSnail metalsnail.deviantart.com passed away earlier this month after a long battle with illness.
I only knew Andreas online..as a long time fan of his art…and as a lovely guy to chat too and share thoughts and ideas with. I will miss him and I will miss his sublimely unique worlds.
Adieus dude…you were one of a kind!
Love and respect

So Long and Thanks for all the Fish (Llamas).
After 18 thoroughly enjoyable years here I have made the decision to close my gallery. DA seems hell bent on becoming THE site for AI generated pornography (much of which is of very dubious content even by porn standards) and it's just not something as a professional artist I want to be associated with. Thank you so much to all the folk who have liked, faved or commented on my work over the years, I've truly appreciated each and every one! Also thanks to all the amazing artists who's work has inspired and entertained me. If anyone's interested you can still see much of my old my work on: https://www.artstation.com/kaduflyer https://www.instagram.com/davidbonneywell/?hl=pt https://www.facebook.com/david.bonneywell.1/ ..and where I will continue to post new stuff. Adios! Dave
WTF??????!!!!
As a follow up to my 'Face Palm' journal I present this: https://www.deviantart.com/myfirstdoctor as an example of how low this place has sunk and the wonderful use to which some sick freaks put AI...... ....and MY posts get taken down...sheeesh!
Face palm!
Over the past six months or so I've been watching in increasing dismay as DeviantArt sinks into a quagmire of AI generated pornography and asking myself "Do I really want to continue posting here?" Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against pornography, but I'm given to understand that there are already a few sites on the internet catering for that market, whereas there's precious few art sites and none that match DA in it's heyday when it was a cool place to 'meet' and chat with fellow artists from around the world. Now I've had two of my posts: T-4-2 and The Odd Couple (both in my gallery for 15+ years) removed for 'policy violations'. Again I don't really have a problem with this, it's DA's house so it's DA's rules! But I was struck by the hypocrisy of it as on the day my posts were removed DA's front page had an AI generated, indistinguishable from a photo, image of a (very) young lady sucking on a (very) large penis!..which I also believe is a 'policy violation'. I get
2019 and all that!
I know I've been a bit remote from my account here of late....but I haven't given up entirely on DA and will try and be a little more active in the new year.
I'm hoping 2019 will see a change in direction for my career in art and saying as such here might help me stick to my plans!....haha....we'll see!!
For now, thank you for the latest DD...I'm both flattered and surprised (it was NOT what I was expecting when I opened my page this morning!) and here's to the New Year...I hope it brings all you could wish for!
Dave
