Good day,</i>
Today we launch a new community called Acid-Burst-Love-Fed aka The Acid Burst Love Federation. Please, read on.
So, what is this federation?
ABL is a community dedicated to collecting art that means a lot -- art that goes kaboom inside you.
What we want is the art that you find too important or too touching or maybe even too disturbing to explain.
You know what it is about. The art that leaves you speechless. When you view it, it changes who you are. At that point the language and the thought you've learned so far is not enough. You might feel something completely new.
And when you create art like that, you can only pray that it will reach someone. It cannot be forced.
What do we do?
1 ABL wants to show your most meaningful creations to the community. Give them to us. We will put them in our gallery.
2 We collect and feature the art that you love. Each month we will create a new collection of favourites based on a certain theme. And you are welcome to help us!
3 Then there are a bunch of other activities. Currently, the most important one is a contest called Silence
Silence
Your deviations on dA are tacit. This text on your computer display stays quiet. I'm mouthing the words as I write. I can't make you hear me. Do I need to? What does it mean to be so silent? Is it a relief or a pain? Do I feel lonely or peaceful or do I feel anything at all?
I can't say. So, please, show me what is the meaning of silence -- for you.
You can paint it, draw it, write it, sculpt it, design it, photograph it. Whatever is your medium, your task is to reach us. Show the others what is the import of silence in your life -- why it is, where it is. For what purpose it is, if any.
The Rules
Note the contest submissions to Acid-Burst-Love-Fed with "Silence" written in the subject field.
The final day for submissions is the 1st of November.
The Six Winners
Three of the winners will be chosen by a jury. They will evaluate not only the technical dimension, but also the weight of artistic expression.
This is obviously a subjective and personal thing to evaluate. But that's what ABL is about -- the courage to let art touch you, affect you. The judges simply decide which submissions affected them the most. And only after that they analyze the technical side of the piece.
The jury will be announced later on.
In addition there will be a poll to choose three federal favourites.
If by the end of the contest there are less than eight submissions, the amount of winners will drop to four.
The Prizes
The artists chosen by the jury:
1 Twelve month subscription. A permanent journal feature.
2 Six month subscription. A permanent journal feature.
3 Three month subscription. A permanent journal feature.
The three artists chosen by the poll:
All will be awarded one month subscription and a permanent journal feature.
Additional prizes are welcome. Just note me or Acid-Burst-Love-Fed if you want to support the contest with something.
For contest updates, please follow the Acid-Burst-Love-Fed journal.
With luv,

Random dA visit
Hi guys!
Sorry for being such a total ass and not being around. I feel very anxious on dA, for stupid personal reasons. Maybe I'll get over them one day...
Miss my dA friends tremendously though. I'd be so happy to hear from you. So if you'd like to, please email me at theokratie(AT)yahoo(DOT)co(DOT)uk :)
Leaving my book store job soon and Finland at the same. Gonna work abroad as a journalist and copywriter. If you visit Berlin in late spring or summer, please contact me! I'll probably be living there -- and of course offering free accommodation for travellers, if possible.
No board game published yet, but we're still working on them, an
Visiting Essen game fair!
If you're going to be at Essen game fair next weekend, look me up. I'll be standing like a fool behind a table in Hall 6, area 121, presenting our first board game's prototype. The company's name is Sophian Epic.

I'm the owner of a board game company now. Sounds more fancy than it is. Still got a long way to go before we'll be doing business.
On an unrelated note, I found out it was lovely Aeirmid (https://www.deviantart.com/aeirmid) who sent me this beautiful print

I'm here
Hi guys,
I'm here, even though I don't comment or reply to comments much. I read my notes and take care of my group responsibilities. Game design related stuff is really proceeding, so I'm all work and hardly no play right now (ironically?).
Sooo, how you guys doing? 8-)

If you want to see how our ambitious board and miniature game projects proceed, please keep an eye on Fibaburn (https://www.deviantart.com/fibaburn). We are also still looking for more amateur artists to help us for free :P
