Blog Officially Closed. :(

Hi, DaphInteresting here.

I have come on here to announce that I have decided to close my tumblr art blog here indefinitely. :(

From this post onward, I will not be posting any more art or any posts on this blog. I have a few reasons of why I’ve decided to make this decision and if you’re interested to know them, please read onward from here.

Firstly, with being a self-employed worker, I’m very busy on a daily basis and the most difficult thing I find about sharing my artwork online is having to run so many SNS accounts like I do. So, to reduce my stress level and to keep myself from facing a complete burn-out (which can be a very nasty thing to occur, I would know already) I feel like I have to limit the amount of accounts I am running here. Unfortunately, within having this account on hiatus, I thought over it and saw that tumblr would be the one I would have to let go. I have had a tumblr account since 2011. A very long time. I remember it just like it was yesterday when I first opened this blog. This very blog holds a special place in my heart since it is one I have had up for such a long time. I had good times here and so very much appreciate the support I got on my art that I had posted here. This blog will always and forever be cherished in my heart, even with me having to close it now.

Secondly, tumblr was once a good blogging site in it’s time but as you all should know it’s faced some problems in it’s time as well. These problems still go on to this very day. The porn blogs... This has been a ever-growing problem with tumblr. At one point, tumblr said they were going to fix the problem by getting rid of these type of accounts but yet to have done so. If anything I see more porn blogs following me and interacting on my posts than ever before, even sending me weird, inappropriate videos, and messages often. It’s horrible, and I’ve pretty much grown tired of it at this point. It seems tumblr isn’t going to fix this problem since this has been going on for a while now, or maybe they can’t since there is just so many of these accounts that they are unable to get rid of all of them. Either way, enough is enough. Tumblr has no doubt gone downhill because of this problem

Many users had already left because of this, making the site feel a bit empty, overall. I won’t fully leave tumblr as I still have two non-art blogs that I use here from time to time, just to blog on as I enjoy blogging. It's rather a therapeutic thing to do for me. But still, I will not make it a priority of posting my artwork on this site anymore. Out of all my blogs I have, this one gets followed by porn blogs the most. It’s super unfortunate since this is my second most popular blog that I own. I worked hard on it to get the many amount of followers that I have. It really sucks at knowing that some of those followers are probably spam and porn accounts. But whatever.

Thirdly and lastly, I’ve noticed something which is also a huge problem with using social media to promote your artwork on in general is there is so many art thieves out there. It’s just getting worst by the day where there are ones who come to steal my artwork and repost it without my permission. No credit given either. They even come to sell my art without my permission and make a profit out of it. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. I had already recognized that this would be the danger you’d have to face when posting up your artwork through social media. That it’s likely to get stolen but it just so darn sad and pathetic that we live in a world with people who won’t do the right thing. All I want to do when I post MY artwork is show it to people who will respect it and appreciate it, not come to take fame and fortune from it. I work too hard on all of my illustrations and 'I' myself like to get recognized for it. ME. I could go on a long lecture about this but this obviously isn’t the place and time for it. Bottom line, I think the more I reduce the social media accounts I post up my artwork at, the less it can become stolen where it gets into so many people’s hands to do whatever they want with it. These thieves are desperate too as they will come to even take your art with even watermarks being all over it. As I said, it’s very sad and pathetic. But it’s also a sad reality that we have to live with too. Stealing is clearly a problem even outside the internet, where people often get robbed these days wherever they are at at any time of day. Totally and utterly out of control in general.

So yeah, there you go. My reasons for closing down my beloved DaphInteresting art blog here. I like to think the reasons I gave here are understanding. To be honest, I feel like tumblr won’t be the only social media account I close down either. In the future, there will likely be more until the point I’m probably only using one or two social medias to promote my artwork at. I see it as being the less the better. Just have to narrow down my options. :P

Overall, with the ‘toxicity’ put to the side, of course, I still like to thank all the genuine supporters of my work here as tumblr isn’t clearly just filled with porn blogs and porn users. You ones are very cherished by me and I appreciate you all so very much. If you are a genuine follower of my work here and would like to keep updated on it, you can follow me on the social medias that I run with my art at now. This is currently the only social medias I’m posting up my artwork at until another announcement is made that I come to close another one again. Look through the ‘keep reading’ below to access them. Furthermore, if you want you can even follow me on them. I have put all my art and posts here on private so only this post will come to show when you visit this account. I decided to not leave up any of my art and posts because really there would be no point to do so and plus it could help to reduce the stealing of my art while at it.

Again, thank you to all the supporters! Out of 430 followers, if you are not a porn or bot blog out of that and came to follow me because you genuinely liked my artwork and wanted to keep up with it, again you are very appreciated. I would love to have your continued support on my other accounts if you’re interested to continue to see and follow me throughout my art journey. ❤

With that said, I bid farewell to this long-lived account. 😢

Hello! I came across your blog and absolutely adore it! I really enjoy how creative you are with the collage ships~<3 If you are open as I’m sure you’re probably busy, whenever you get a chance to, I love to have a collage ship with BTS hehe. :)

In personality, I’m mainly an introvert but with a silly and friendly side to me.

I enjoy drawing, creating anything that really involves art as I’m an artist.

I enjoy viewing nice scenery and chilling in a organized and mainly quiet area.

I also greatly enjoy listening to music and reading/writing on days.

I think that’s it about me lol. If you need anymore info, you can feel free to let me know~ I hope either of the pics I gave that you choose are okay.size to use lol. I apologize for the 4 pics I sent too. :P I hope it wouldn’t be a prob of me giving you a extra one to help out a bit more haha. Thanks so much! Keep up the great work!

@daphinteresting First off I just want to apologize again for how long it took me to make your collage! I was super discourage the last few weeks becuase the website I love to use to find pictures wasn’t working, however it recently just began to work again on my computer (hallelujah!)

Secondly, thank you so much for the praise! It really means the world when I hear that you guys like my collages and the little extra step I take with the description <3 so thank you all for the support and please keep requesting~

From BTS I ship you with ~ TAEHYUNG

My aesthetic for you and Taehyung is all forms of art. It’s not only your love for art but his as well, whether it’s just him admiring you creating it, or picking out pieces that you both bicker about where to hang and on what wall. My aesthetic for you is warm browns and beige; colors that bathe the skin and are nothing but comfort. My aesthetic for you is cabinets filled with any and all books...it’s windows that face the perfect direction so that sun is always spilling inside with warmth. Yours and Taehyung’s aesthetic is the top of a Ferris wheel...the open breeze dancing over you...the sights never ending...

I hope you have a great day/night~!
