Hey there!

Hello there! Welcome to the ODDS (oibyrd daily deviations)! I find that far too often artists that are a real talent don't get the credit they deserve. It's easy to get lost in the crowd of artists here on dA so my mission is to turn a spotlight on those people to give them some more exposure.

PLEASE NOTE - some artists I feature simply because they are bloody brilliant. So pointing out their thousands of fav's will have no effect on me just enjoy them...okay? okay And all the pieces featured are poems that I personally like, so please, dont blame the artist, and don't bother taking it up with me as I can hardly change my taste now can I? done? Okay, good

Literature ODD's!

for a long time now, i have been thinking about starting an account just for Literature ODD's, which would be one per day when i could, because due to the nature of literature, all thumbs would be the same.

in association with =OibyrdsDDs
run by *iheartpirates
stock account *closemyeyes-stock
photography account *piratephotography

so, my first request is, anyone who feels this is a good idea, buy this account a subscription or design it an ID, a header, a footer or an avatar!! whatever you want for stock you can use go to *closemyeyes-stock

spread the word

because this is not ^oibyrd running this account, this is *iheartpirates in association with =OibyrdsDDs
if you think this is a good idea, great!! tell people about it, suggest ODD's to me, just bombard me with notes and i will check them out!!

Always take a few minutes when you visit dA to give at least ONE person a really serious look at and then comment! It's what keeps all of us inspired!

Drive-by Faving

it is very likely I will driveby fave on my main account *iheartpirates to keep check of what i think is good in literature at the moment, so dont worry if i dont comment! it could be a good thing!

Not many poems make me feel like this one did, this is part of ~zebrazebrazebra phonetic alphabet challenge, just showing how diverse inspiration from one word can be.
