Death-By-Romance is not only my best friend, but the love of my life and he's the one who convinced me to join dA. I've been meaning to feature him for quite some time, but today (July 6th) is his 19th birthday and it just seemed perfect!
With a gallery of 500+ pieces, ranging from gorgeous photography, to digital work and literature, Steven's work has grown since his first days on dA. If you look through the progression of his gallery, I'm sure you'll notice. He's expanded his mediums, and definitely learned some things along the way. He's also helped inspire much of my artwork.
Here's a few of my favorites:


Also, in honor of this long deserved feature, I'm holding the 'Literature Interpretation' Contest.
About the ContestFor this contest, I am asking participants to choose one of the five photos by *
Death-By-Romance below. Deviants should then comment their chosen one, and write a literature piece based on what they gather from the photo.
Here are your photo choices:
Evening Daisy

In The Art of the City

Sunset Field

Solo in the Park

Feel free to check out the rest of his
gallery.

Literature ClubI've created this literature club on dA for poetry/prose writers alike. Go there and become a member to share your work, get critique, and hopefully meet some other great people in the community! There will be challenges and sorts up soon (I promise!) and any support you'd like to give us with links, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

-----
I'm giving out free literature critiques. If you have anything you'd like me to read and comment on, send a link to me in a note. PLEASE put 'critique' or something in the subject, so I know what it is. Check out the
forum thread I made for it, and leave a message there, too.

A bookstore is a heaven for those of us writing nerds.
I'm poetically and Roman inclined along with my grim, dark, and logical obsessions
Falling is fun, except for the landing, which completely stinks.
