I started this group earlier in 2019, mainly to offer an overview what people on deviantArt submit to the topic. I am are currently looking both for members and affiliates. So far there has been little activity. But I am starting to request works and invite members. I take this step by step. If you'd like to join, simply click the button on top, if you'd like to become a contributor please note me here or on the group page:
Some general rules and info:
The
gallery folders are sorted by the plant's
botanical names. I either chose the entire genus name or species name. I may adjust and refine the folders, as the group grows.
All
regular gallery folders are for
plant photography. The
Featured Folder is reserved for
traditional and digital artworks related to poisonous plants.
So, basically all media are welcome:
- photography -> goes to the regular folder with the corresponding plant name
- traditional art (drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, installation) -> goes to "Featured"
- poetry -> goes to "Featured"
- digital art (includes well-done photo-manipulation) -> goes to "Featured"
Lastly, I judge submissions based on the general skills displayed in your gallery. I will gladly accept works with a dark edge or aesthetic nudity, but decline rude, vulgar or offensive works.
PS: This group is meant both to enjoy art dedicated to and the diversity of poisonous plants as well as broaden one's understanding, e.g. by learning about how they look and distinguishing them from harmless plants. Naturally, this group cannot substitute a teacher or scientific literature on the topic.
