C-Goodall

* Please note that all of my work is only visible my deviantART members. I am sorry, but this is to keep copy cats at bay and google's greedy hands off my goods!

I do not fit in one category to select from a drop down menu. I'm a quiet and shy girl, looking for people who's demons play well with mine. I'm a romantic, and I have a huge heart. I look for the good in people, the silver lining, and the sunshine through each storm. I'm kind and forgiving. I thrive for happiness, laughter, harmony, inner peace. I love a good adventure, a good book, the comforts of genuine people. I'm an old soul, mature for my age, listening more than speaking. I believe we are always students, not always teachers. I wouldn't say I'm religious, I would say I'm spiritual. I go to church on Sundays, but I don't believe God is a single parent. I practice love and forgiveness and acceptance. My views are eclectic in every sense of the word. I write, keeping a journal, writing novels, poems, short stories. I'm a mixed media artist, using all elements and mediums. I'm a mother, and that is my biggest blessing in life. I listen to a wide range of music, there is a little bit of everything on my iPod. I am more than what meets the eye, and although I give you this insight into my being, there is much more to learn if you ask the right questions.

I speak English and nothing else. If you want to talk to me, it better be in English. I am not going to take the time of learning a new language, or looking up what you say.

I am always open to making new friends, no matter where you live. I like intelligent conversations. If you speak to me, and I find it rude, out of line, or out of this world, you are subject to me making fun of you, and allowing the conversation to be publicly humiliated as well. I will not just out of the blue meet anyone. You must get to know me as well as I get to know you. Grab my attention when we talk. Make an impression. I want to be friends.

It's unfortunate that those who find some of my content offensive simply do not look. If you mark a photo as having mature content, these individuals who don't like it can mask it by filtering.

People questioned whether my artwork is "art." That's for the eye of the beholder. Art has a deeper and wider meaning that many people can conceive in their minds. Art cannot be defined or contained. But if I found it offensive (which I did not) I would have clicked away from the page. It's that simple!

I am open to constructive criticism on my artwork. However, constructive critique does not include telling me what to do, or degrading my work.

I felt that I had to remove some of my art to cut the 'drama.' I would implore those with 'delicate constitutions' to turn on your mature content filters and walk through life with blinders on.

If people don't think my art is art, then don't look at it. Some of us are able to open our minds and enjoy things whatever they are because we know that art is different for everyone. One person's expression might be different from what I would do but I would never degrade someone's work.

I have seen other female models that take the same kind of photos. They are larger women and their photos are fairly graphic and it never fails that someone comes in and tells them that their work can't be art because they don't meet some sort of popular ideal of what is attractive. Honestly for me the photos that anyone takes have nothing to do with the subject being attractive, ugly, over weight, thin, etc. it is all about their pose, their lighting, the goal they were going for with their work, etc. And I personally think that anything that challenges me (whether it be my thoughts, feelings or beliefs) deserves props.

I am very sorry these people exist on here and say the things they say. I plan on keeping up with my photography and other art. I want to express myself and have fun.

SO IN OTHER WORDS (AND IF YOU READ NOTHING ABOVE THEN AT LEAST READ THIS)

If your comments (or private messages) fall under any of the following:

- Degrading

- Harassing / Stalking

- Judgmental (aka "your pics aren't art" or anything like such)

- Do Not Offer CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism

- Unwanted

- Sexual (I know I have a fairly good body, no need to tell me)

- Asking For More Explicit Photos

- Asking For Sex (or anything like it)

...then do yourself a favor and save your energy and DO NOT comment. And save yourself the embarrassment of getting a verbal ass raping if you do comment. I will NOT warn ANYONE again.

DON'T LIKE IT? DON'T FUCKING LOOK AT IT.

I am a strong willed woman and can take care of myself. However, if I feel I need to bring in a third party I will.
