deviantART Headquarters

London, England deviantMEET in Hyde Park

Location:	Albert Memorial in Hyde Park London, England (The nearest tubes are Knightsbridge, South Kensington and Gloucester Road.)
When:	Saturday, June 30th @ 4:00am

On Saturday, June 30th, 2012 at 12:00 PM BST, deviants of all ages are invited to join us for a picnic-themed deviantMEET at Albert Memorial in Hyde Park! This day of fun will consist of hanging out at the park, creating art, talking all things deviantART-related, and simply having a good time.

Keep in mind that the deviantMEET is also part picnic, so feel free to bring your own food and snacks, and maybe even make a special something to share with others. We encourage deviants to bring iPads, tablets, sketchbooks, notepads, and cameras to help create and showcase art. Rumor has it that deviantART goodies will passed out to those in attendance!

If you think you'll be able to make it, please let us know by clicking the "I want to attend" button, as it will help us gauge how many deviants to plan for.

Thank you, and hope to see you there!

Little Songbird“Leave me,” I dare in song. “Leave me if you can.”

My valour is false. I am right to be afraid. Your sliding shadow smothers me, and death pecks close. Step wrong, and you will know the crunch of a dead bird; the mess that follows. You will never know what you escaped. You will never know me.

Kneel human. My tiny heart flutters. Death pecks close.

Your shadow stops in surprise . . . and you kneel before my form. Now close, I see you regret your choice. These structures used to be wings, if you’ll believe me. One sigh – and you cease your reverence. Propriety is not to be wasted on one so damaged. You lifLittle Songbird by ~Rieal-Dragonsbane

A Note on DrowningI am writing this letter for myself. If you have found this letter, please give it to me. If you find that I lack the will to read, if my mind is gone, if my hands are bloodied, tell me at least, that the song is near its end. If I am dead [indistinguishable]

[Written in the margin: IF I AM DEAD THROW ME TO THE SEA]

In laying out the bones of my terrors, a solution may be found.

I'll start before the beginning, when Mother took me for walks on the beach and told stories. Together we missed my seafaring father. These are my earliest memories, but I remember things had always been this way. We walked together, and I counted my many steps andA Note on Drowning by ~Rieal-Dragonsbane

Do you believe in wishes?"Do you believe in wishes, Lukas?"

That was the question she asked on one warm, summer's night. It was just the two of them. Just the way they liked it. Lukas sat in a grassy field with his lover wrapped tightly around his arm. Nice and secure. He knew she preferred it like that.

"Depends…" He smiled a little, gazing up at the stars. Scandinavia was just one of the few places where one could view the skies in all their glory.

"Well what about shooting stars? They're pretty cool… it's a nice concept, although they're not really stars." The red haired girl smiled widely and rested her head on his shoulder.

I went alone but came out with new friends. Thanks for making me feel welcome. It was great be able to lose myself in the fields of insanity, banter and zany humour.

Thanks.

I stopped by for a while, but didn't talk much to anyone since i am here in London on 30 June almost accodentally, but i must tell you for the first time in my life i wasn't sure how to socialize with you guys and even my ability to talk English went somewhere else, eunno where, but it went really far
well at least i have nice stamp with my name and have seen you people :b)
you pretty much remind me people from AnimeSHOW which is anime con in my country which i am helpingtoborganize and you remind me them by your craziness

and i am extremly sorry to administrator which gave me my name stamp and told me what to do and where to go, who to talk to, becasue i somehow wasnc't able to talk in english with her in that moment
never mind

Guys I lost my sketchbook. I handed it to people to sign and such as others were doing it, but when I asked around nobody had seen it. It's black, A4, and has my username in green writing on the first page. Someone must have it, so if you know what happened to it please let me know! If it's still in London I may be able to get it back. If not, enjoy your nice new sketchbook!
