| Regarding member requests: All requests from deviants with an empty gallery will be declined. Please do watch, though. You can always become a member later. when submitting art please follow these rules: 1) The work of art must be of your own making, plagiarised art will not only be cause for dismissal from the gallery, but also cause for us to report and make the transgression public with all means necessary. If stock is used that is not of your own making please credit the owner, failing to do so is cause for expulsion from this gallery. 2) I really did not want to do this but from now on we have a submission limit ! well since it seems that people can not read or count I have reached the end of my patience ! I am once again cutting the submission limit .From now on i will only accept 1 piece per week , anything else will be declined no matter how good it is . i really hate doing this because I am now punishing those that have diligently kept to the rules as well. To those i would like to apologize ..to the others well you brought it on yourselves... Sorry about this but i can look though peoples complete galleries .... Submission does not guarantee acceptance, and none acceptance is not up for discussion although you are more than welcome to request feedback on why your work was not accepted. 3) Please submit your work to the appropriate folder, failure to do so might lead to non acceptance of work. 4) Adult material is allowed but it needs to be tagged appropriately, child pornography will not only be rejected but prosecuted, so be warned. 5) Please be respectful in tone and behaviour.NO DRAMA! Keep your drama to yourselves and out of this forum. Do not tell me who I should or should not affiliate with , who I should or should not accept into this group ect. If you have disputes amongst your selves keep it out of here or I will expel you. I expect grownup behaviour here!Enjoy and have a nice day. 6) due to abuse any picture submitted to the wrong category is banned from resubmission , if you do not know where to put it send me a note to my private account with the link and i will tell you ! Welcome and a few extra things that need to be mentioned! First of all i would like to welcome all that have joined and started watching this gallery, I am amazed and humbled by the positive response  I have received some correspondence and would like to answer some questions here.1) why did you decline my submission when I see that you have selected work that is full of imperfections? First of all art is a matter of taste , and while some of the submissions i decline might be of perfect quality, they might not speak to me . I choose art for this forum by what i would personally put in my home or sell in a physical gallery. Since this gallery is my baby I will only post what I can stand behind and I am not willing to compromise in this regard -Sorry. Why did you decline my work? 1- see above 2-you submitted it to the wrong folder.I cannot take the time to move your submissions i watch over 1000 people and groups and hunt for art as well ...since i look at every piece in full size to catch the suitabilities , i frankly do not have the time to do your work for you -sorry. 3- your work is based in child porn or other filth and I do not see it as art 4) i like the piece but i think it still needs work and i will leave you a comment on that. This might seem harsh but the thing is that Gallery 42 might very well turn into a physical gallery at some point in the future and those featured here might at some point be able to sell prints and physical work in it if they so choose . i am also in the process of opening a digital publishing company but this is still long before completion . none the less all this has purpose and I am sorry if some are offended by it but seriously i need to be able to stand behind the artists or the work i promote 100% . You accepted me to the group and posted some of my work but are declining the work i submit. Why? 1) see above @0 While i value my artist and their work , there may be cases where only one piece specks to me , or stands out from the rest of your work in quality. you fav my work on your private account but do not promote it here .Why? 1- see above 2- Sometimes i see work that I like or i see emerging talent in but that i do not think is gallery quality . I fav it because i like it but would not sell or exhibit it . I hope this answers your questions , if you have any more plese feel free to ask. Thank you for your time and interest and welcome to Gallery 42 ! Alex There has been an unfortunate trend of late, people have been posting their work to receive exposure but then decide to pull it out repeatedly after a few days. If you feel that we are good enough to submit to then leave your submitted work in here. I am not talking about the occasional clearing of unwanted pieces. I am talking about those who post stuff and then get mad because I decline a piece and pull all their work out but stay in the group because they think they can pressure me into doing what they want . Or those who post here to get exposure, delete it and resubmit the same piece over again and think i am to busy or stupid to notice , or those who try to gain exposure here but then decide not to leave it here because they think they can ride on our coattails . This is unacceptable behaviour and will not be tolerated, I deleted two of the people who did this, banned and blocked them from my private account and from the group permanently. I take the time to look at every pieces , why on earth should I waste my time on it -if you don’t want it in here in the first place .From now one be aware that I will , delete , ban and block anyone from the group that plays this game .
