I have been informed that there are less than 12 shopping days before the holiday...ooooooh shyte do I have a lot to do...tons..and tons...of photogifts..

And tomorrow, I get to go to traffic court.

update: Court decided that I was all sorts of guilty. So that's 2 points on my license and a 223 dollar fine. Due this week. (along with my other 600 expenses) Or they suspend my license. Meeerry fuckin' Xmas. Both cop and judge were totally rude, and it really was my first offense, in a rental car I was basically being forced to drive. If I wasn't convinced that I'd be even poorer than I am now in some other country, I'd have moved there by now. Any money making ideas would be fabulous peeps. Already work two jobs and do full time school. But hey, if you're feeling spunky and want to buy prints, I have some available at Only, don't buy them through DA. I'd be happy to send them to you myself along with a card.

Or..if you would just like a card... Drop me your mailing addy in a note.

-grumble- sorry to bitch..

Oh, so apparantly I have my own stamp now. My crazy-awesome-partner-in-crime /amazing model ~TheArcher777 was joking with me about how she basically "stalks my account" now. And the next thing I know, she made this. It's so cute! Check it out!

RULES FOR USE OF MY STOCK

If you use any of my stock, it is a requirement that you give credit where credit is due, andlink back to me. If I do find anyone that has used stock here, and has not given proper credit, I will bite hard. Please note me as well, because I really want to see what everyone can do. (even if you think it's bad...believe me...you haven't seen the things I've tried to manipulate) Also, I, like many stockers, spend a lot of time, energy, and inspiration on making the best quality stock I can for you guys to use, it's only right that you put forth this small effort too. I'm also an actual photographer, so be glad you don't have to deal with all that copyright permission stuff. Just follow the rules.

Stock may not be used for commercial purposes such as book illustrations, websites, or sold products without my written permission. Note me if you would like to, I am quite forgiving as long as you play by the rules. This is a form of art too, and you wouldn't appreciate it if I ganked a picture you drew without permission. This also means you CANNOT USE THEM OUTSIDE OF DA WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION.

Please, respect my models. Not only are they all beautiful people, but they have feelings too, and put a lot of modeling hours in with me. Do not put them in pornographic images.

If you have questions, or reasonable requests, just note me. I'd love to know what people are looking for, but please keep it reasonable. No "I want to see people jumping off a cliff into a vat of Smucker's Preserves". For those of you that like this idea, well...we have jumping stock, and well...thats what manipulating is for.

Have fun already!

News and stuff!!

December 18th is 's 21st Birthday!   and she's really gloomy over having exams that day. Give her some luv.

I just wanted to hit on this briefly since, it seems to have confused some people, or made them think I was upset, when I'm not. I've begun adding disclaimers to certain images that contain religious themes because I want to discourage negative commentary regarding religion. My own religious views are not depicted in these images, nor are the views of my models. We are usually pretty clear about not wanting to discuss or attract that sort of attention. We make stock, because I think it needs to be made. Resources are resources, and I will try as hard as I can to provide you with the powerful images you require for your manipulations, religious or otherwise. And for some reason people like to single me out for religious convos, and I'd rather spend quality time under a rock....nuff said. I love you guys! I'm not angry at all.

CURRENT PROJECTS!

1.) Stock request for , to be completed within the next day or so to be ready for upload to her. It's coming! Promise! Update: Part one: complete..part two! On its way...

2.) Stock projects! We're currently scouring good ol' ebay for some nice outfits and dresses to use in the boring months of January. If you have any ideas for themes, note me or tug on my shirt or tie my shoelaces together or somethin. Here's the ideas we have so far!

So just to get you thinking: themes will be bands: Enigma and Nightwish. Things look promising so far, but more official details later. And tons of contest ideas in the future. Perhaps someone will want to run one with me?

So, for those of you that are here for the stock rules, I'll post them first, then the ranty bit later. So:

THE CONTESTS!!   (these change like, every ten minutes, but still, good to know right?)
There are a couple of fun things happening in the DA Universe, but I wanted to mention just a few.

1.) is holding a...wait for it...wait for it....STOCK CONTEST. That's right. A contest for stock artists to come out and do their best work. Read! [link]

2.) 's Music Project. Read about it here: [link]

3.) 's "Tell Me A Story" contest. Check out her site.

4.) is running a new contest with an awesome wintery theme! Read AAAALLLL about it here: [link]
and be inspired!
She would like everyone to get involved, so...what are you waiting for? It definately put me in the holiday spirit

5.) is currently running a challenge featuring some of our stock. All you avid manipulators out there, if you don't know about #ManipulateThis, go forth and be enlightened.
You should check it every week to see what's new.

6.) and are holding a three ring contest under the big top. Step right up and be amazed, and if you would, enter!! It's going to be nifty!

7.) NEW! is having a small contest that looks fun. The topic? I will quote her:
"Simply put, the theme of my contest is CHERRIES!!!!!"
See? [link]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now. The rant. Don't read it if you are already in a bad mood. I might make your mood worse.  *takes a deep breath*

Welcome to the holidays folks. It's that time of year again. The time where every possible thing that could go wrong, will go wrong. And every possible debt you may have had or forgotten about will rear its ugly head shortly. It's been a bad semester for me. My mental and physical health have decided that they would be better off somewhere that isn't wherever I am, and there isn't a thing I can do about it.

I'm not even sure what I'm on about really. I'm tired of the same things happening all the time. The redundancy of it all.  Having to sit in a doctor's office breathing through a little tube thingy(AGAIN!) while you try and treat this asthma you suddenly seem to have, coupled with this bronchitis you've had for about two months(AGAIN!), and all the while wondering how in the world you're going to afford..well..life (AGAIN!). Need medicine, right?  Then having to explain to everyone, including instructors, why you weren't in class, (AGAIN!) and why you couldn't get the proper documentation of your illness to them in time. And then listen to the same lecture about how most faculty need tons of warning. Well, duh. I know that. I've only been listening to the same speech my entire life. My friends get irritated with me, telling me I should fight the school and all. But I just don't have the energy. I'm BORED with it. Fucking depression.

I'm also bored with people in general. Sitting back and witnessing other people cause others SO much pain is ultimately numbing.  Like, for example, who, in their sane, human mind, would stop at a four way stop sign, then upon proceeding after stop, runs over a dog, and KEEPS. ON. DRIVING.  Never in my LIFE have I EVER understood this level of human cowardice, especially after about the third pet we've lost this way. Whoever you are, you disgrace me. And now my sister has lost one of her best friends. Poor Sammy. It isn't just an animal: it's as good as murder.

Oh! And guess what season it is also? It's that time when holiday shoppers go into auto pilot. Believe it or not, the percentage of teens shopping in the mall I work at has raised so exponentially on the weekends, some stores have had to enstate a curfew. It's nothing against the kids who are there to do shopping, and hang out, because that's what a shopping mall is for. It's for the groups of shoplifters and teens who play watchdog for other teens while the two are having sex in the hallways. Not just there. In the parking lot. Outside. Sometimes IN stores. I'm just amazed by all this. Not really surprised but...I gotta know... ?? Why would you?? I mean...is there some kind of thrill involved in ducking behind an escalator or sneaking off to see how many department stores you can get horizontal in before you're caught? I guess I'm getting old or missing something here...because I think some kids need a good drop in the mall fountain.

Anyway, I'm up way too late, because I can't sleep. It will probably all pass once I'm out of school, and the holiday is over, and I don't have to worry about how many ways I'm splitting myself up so that I can be four places at once for my disagreeable family this year. Blaaaah. I should really stop ranting, but some days, I just want to kick people in the teeth.

Like today.

Sorry to subject you guys to this. I just needed to write some of this down to get rid of it.

Story time at Lindowyn-stock
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lindowyn-stock is basically the brain child of myself ( ~Lindowyn , because of my love of photography and tormenting my friends to garb up and pose, which has been going on since my senior year of high school. At least. But this stock account would *not* be possible without the support of others, namely, the models and contributors:


(and those without DA accounts)

For those of you that mistake myself with any of the above models, I'm flattered.
Unless you are mistaking me for   Thats a gender switch. At the very least. ( I love you, Shawn )

I'm hardly on the reflective side of the lens. (and if I am, its noted in the description. I'm a terrible model. There is a reason for this)

This is getting longwinded. Look for updates in the future, and a buttload more stock. (which...is a measurement...I think...and so is a "metric fuckton" according to ~KineticLightning


Mild point of interest: It has come to my attention that many of you are having difficulties obtaining a large sized image to work with off the deviation's page. Try clicking that little "download' button on the left of the image, which will make the larger size available for download, OR full view the image, and right click save. Still not big enough? Note me. DA only allows images under 10 mp to be posted, so I spend about two hours sizing them all down. I think there are still buggies in the system, so bear with. I've had trouble too, but the right click thing almost always works for me.

                 

My main account: It ain't much, but I am actually offering prints now.

IMPORTANT I am STILL offering Four exclusive stock packs to benefit in her time of need, and will continue to do so until she has satisfactorily recovered. The holidays are hard on all of us, and I am no exception, but she is in need of some assistance.
